I can understand a company that wants to promote their business, but having black hat Internet services post what appear to be completely fake reviews for the sole purpose of deceiving the public is nefarious in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if a company posts an actual review from a real customer under a made up google account, that\u2019s no biggie to me.\u00a0 I am pointing out what we think are the pure blatant lies that appear in many (and I mean many) Google Places listings.<\/p>\n<p>In fairness to the businesses, I am sending an email before posting what I consider the fake listings, and asking that they stop (if they are involved in paying for reviews).\u00a0 If it stops in a week or two, you won\u2019t see any information here. Hey, a lot of small business owners make mistakes.\u00a0 The exception will be larger companies who know better, and specifically Car Dealships, who seem to lead the black hat parade on fake Google reviews.<\/p>\n<p>So with that\u2026.
