A new global fraud: creating fake recommendations. Companies that create fake profiles to make recommendations for products and services.
The most common modus operandi is to flood our own or third-party sites with positive comments and ratings that never drop below 4 or 5 stars. In 2022 alone, Google deleted 115 million fake comments in its apps application. And Amazon, more than 200 million among its products. The lying recommendations affect products for personal use or gastronomic spaces and also study centers, law firms and even doctors and health professionals.
