Have you ever been paid to write fake reviews for a product?

I have.

I used to write fake reviews for a particular GPS. I would write 100's of them and always rate it 5 stars. They sent me one and the thing sucked ass.

I wouldn't ever do it again. Be careful believing what you read.

I find it funny when a hotel plants an obvious fake review mixed in with a bunch of terrible reviews.

Amazon is filled with fake reviews... Add that to the fact that most people aren't going to write a review unless they are displeased with a product or service unless you can validate the source of a review they are almost worthless...

So is yelp. Can't rely on reviews. Sad. Businesses also trash the competition with reviews
