Don't pay for fake reviews
 

In case you didn't know this, Google periodically filters out suspect reviews and if they catch you doing it, your site will get slapped with a penalty.

I discovered some unusual 1 star ratings on there bringing my overall score down. On looking at these reviews, they were often from people based in foreign countries and I have now discovered one of them has left multiple one star reviews on 57 business pages across the world. I have googled this and it seems people can pay others to leave fake reviews. I think this is absolutely pathetic and a very sad state of affairs and it is bringing down our overall star rating. Are you able to investigate this and remove the rating and also block this person.
