Had a similar thing happen after a guy left me a false review.
The guy was an employee of a local company. He cold called me. I was busy so I just hung up, but I did hear the company name.
Then I saw a bad review left by someone pretending to have been a customer of mine. He used his real name as it was a google review.
I googled, found out he worked for the company that had called me. Spoke to the owner, gave the owner the info. He said he'd look into it.
Called back 30 min later, apologized for his employee's actions, said he disciplined him and got him to admit his action was petty and wrong, and he made him take down the review.
Real life leverage is a powerful thing.
- kerng 7y agoNot understanding this story entirely. You just hung up on someone and then they left a bad review. That's what reviews are for, no?
- nosuchuser2 7y agoThe person called them trying to sell something (a "cold call"), but then left a bad review claiming to be a customer.
- kerng 7y agoAh, got it. Thanks for explaining.
- yesplorer 7y agoHe cold called op. So probably wanted to sell them a service/product. By the caller turned around to leave a fake review as though he was a customer of OP. At least that's how I interpreted it.
- graeme 7y agoYup, exactly that
