- perl4ever 9y agoThere is no source of information that doesn't require engaging with a critical mindset in order to make it useful. Anything that you interpret by rote is easily gamed. As other people have said, this particular fraud is meaningless because it doesn't fit the profile of the sort of thing that would cause problems for users. Misinformation about a real restaurant is an actual problem. Ratings of non-existent restaurants don't matter.
- bmelton 9y agoIf you can defraud a site like TravelAdvisor to turn your shed into the best restaurant ever, then you can defraud a site like TravelAdvisor to turn you bad restaurant into a good one, or a competitor's good restaurant into a bad one.
- perl4ever 9y agoDo you have an argument to support your opinion? I think your assertion is obviously false. If the restaurant doesn't exist, nobody will provide real reviews. If it does, they may.
