Fake Reviews

[Aletheia]

a woman who preferred to remain anonymous, writes fake online reviews of the restaurant where she works - a chain pub in Nottingham.

"I feel like there's significant pressure to get positive reviews on either Facebook, Google or TripAdvisor," she says.

"The manager has actually told us to ask customers to do the review in front of us after their meals which I find hilarious.

"Anyway, I feel like it gets the managers off my back about it if I write a few for myself here and there. I do get a few genuine ones but a few more won't hurt, eh?"

She adds: "I think it does make me look like a better employee, obviously."

You know that people have been sued for damages for writing fake reviews.

We have a friend who is ridiculously cheap. Think John Travolta's character in Look Who's Talking. He belongs to these groups on Facebook where you get products from Amazon and you get a full refund if you leave a 5 star review. He invited my husband and I to the groups but we're not interested. I'm not going to lie just to get a bunch of free shit I don't need. If I want something, I'll buy it.
