DONT TRUST TRUSTPILOT. This is the worst sort of company. I don’t know how they are still operational. They are a company who uses extortion to force companies to buy into their corruption. They post inappropriate and inaccurate signs on businesses who use their free “service”. THINGS LIKE ITS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THIS COMPANY MAYBE POSTING FAKE REVIEWS. Bombard them with emails telling them that they will help them to improve their ratings which they have caused in the first place. They say that their system is automatic and detects false reviews using algorithms. You can’t pick up the types of review scams use by algorithms. Cant believe people falling for this one. The types of scams that companies use on trust pilot include brushing. This is when a scam company picks an address to send product to that hasn’t purchased that product. The recipient is puzzled but can’t find a way to return etc. There appears to be a purchase made so the company can leave positive reviews with “proof” of purchase. Over and over again on numerous sites. There is no algorithm that can pick this up. Another scam is buying positive reviews. Lots of sites online. Trustpilot gets around these ones by making it almost impossible for a consumer to question the authenticity of a review however Trustpilot removes hundreds of thousands of legit consumer reviews with a click of a button at the scam businesses say so. The company’s response is that the company cant remove them. But they can and do to such a degree that this skews ratings all on its own. That is Trustpilot’s model. No algorithms at work here just straight up corrupt business practices. Another technique scamming companies use is to offer a refund if the customer leaves a positive review. There are reviews on Trustpilot that even admit to this. No algorithm is gunna pick that up. Another technique that Trustpilot uses is the rules are set by them. They change the goal posts to suit the narrative they are spinning at the time. There were multiple media reports about the corrupt practices of Trustpilot they then had a massive media push to say “we are the good guys, we are open and honest” but they continue to use all the same techniques to skew the ratings. Trustpilot works diligently to protect the scam companies that use their site as its their main income earner. They use a similar technique on their site and teach their scam business customers as well. When a negative review is placed they send out a request to their registered uses to rate these are usually just a few words about good to leave reviews and 5 stars. This pushes the negative reviews way down the list and off the front page again it also skews ratings. Want another corrupt practice that trustnpilot uses. There are so many it’s just impossible to list them all. There is lots on the net. But hard to find as Trustpilot manipulates the net by inundating the net with positive Trustpilot posts. Trustpilot protects scammers. Just put in a well known scamming company say one of the Chinese clothing company scams and see if they are a paying company or not. If they pay their scores will be in the 4+* if not 2* or less. Just on this point one would think that red flags would fly. Also why don’t Trustpilot use the same review conventions as all other legit review sites and let you select negative reviews, positive reviews and most helpful reviews. Again this would not fit with their protection of scam companies. The world is losing billions of dollars to scam companies Trustpilot allows this to happen and everyone is turning a blind eye. Why?
