This issue is complicated by the fact that there's a thriving ecosystem of marketers and scammers who operate around Yelp, and will call and tell you they work for Yelp and can have negative reviews removed and other things. So people really are getting these calls, it's just that it's a scam.
- cvhashim 6y agoIsn't this just extortion and racketeering with extra steps. "Hey I have this magic problem I created for you, now you have to pay me to fix it or your business will dry up."
- closetohome 6y agoI think you missed that it's third parties offering to perform these services. They target Yelp because it's one of the more prominent review sites, but I've gotten calls from people claiming to be able to manipulate Google reviews as well.
