Every time I've bought something with rave reviews only to find out it's garbage, I've left a bad review and then been emailed offering my money back if I deleted it because bad reviews hurt their business (I could of course keep the product). I've never retracted a review, and have always reported the behaviour to Amazon, but it's extremely common.
- aerique 8y agoI know it's not very nice but would taking the money and not taking down the review dissuade businesses from doing this? Or, if that is illegal (which I can imagine), just putting up a new bad review.
- thom 8y agoPossibly, but I'd rather lose sleep over being a patsy than by feeling _I'm_ the bad guy.
