We were just on NPR's Reveal!

 Fake consumer reviews are a massive problem on Yelp, Google and other sites.  Facebook is the source of much of this fraud.  Nobody, not district attorneys, not regulators like the FTC, nor Big Tech is doing anything about it.  In fact, Big Tech profits whether reviews are real or fake. 

  Yelp's Elite program is corrupted with members who sell fake reviews.  There is a black market for Yelp Elite reviews in Facebook review exchange groups.  We point out 8 Yelp Elite reviewers who are faking reviews for southern California contractors. 

  Don't trust any online review site.  This is a case study in how one contractor games multiple review sites.  LA Green Development, a solar and roofing company in Los Angeles, is faking reviews on Yelp, Google, Facebook, Buildzoom, Houzz, Porch, the Better Business Bureau, and Angie's List.
