I just reverse image searched all three of their testimonial photos all all come from random .edu faculty pages with completely different names. They also show up on random Twitter profiles and bandcamp pages. Not sure why they’re using fake testimonial photos but that seems rather scummy.
- shortcord 8y agoI’m confused as to how anyone would think this is alright to do.

- RickS 8y agoSome people willingly submit photos to be used in this manner[0], which will lead to them being used all over the place. Once you've seen this picture of Brad Frost[1] (a web tech personality), it's hilarious how many startup landing page mockups he appears in. I've personally seen dozens.

- wingerlang 8y agoWhat if a proper testimonial user didn't have a profile picture? Also searching I found this, https://ctooltrk.com/ https://ctooltrk.com/ kinda interesting I guess.
- Method-X 8y agoJust because a testimonial image can be found elsewhere on the web doesn't mean it's fake. The images are of the actual person who gave the testimonial but I changed their names. I see absolutely nothing wrong with doing that.
