I mistrust Yelp because they scrape reviews from other websites. I have found a couple of reviews that I posted elsewhere under fake user names on Yelp.

- thwarted 18y agoConsidering that things like "elite status", which is based on contribution, is coveted by some users, it's entirely possible that the content in question was posted by an actual user who cut and pasted it from another site. It would be pretty hard to verify that someone's review is truly their own. If you notice something out of the ordinary, there are tools available to flag content. Disclosure: I work for Yelp.
