Q: Four new reviews have been posted today, all 5 tacos.
All four of these were written by brand new profiles that were only just created today and their only purchase is Viabill.
Two of these reviews have stated that they have been using it for a few days or weeks, both of which are blatant lies. A review can only be made after a purchase. A purchase can only be made after you have created a profile. These 2 reviews are 100% fake. The other 2 reviews are also likely fake.
Viabill: please contact Appsumo as someone is spamming your page. I would be shocked if a founder would be so blatant to post this many positive reviews in one go.
Appsumo: your brand is being damaged by your lack of spam control.
Please investigate all the reviews from as I'm sure they will all be found to be fake.
Ya. Holy shit. This is sooooo scummy. I actually think ViaBill is behind this. They got slammed hard in ratings super early on and had been avoided like the plague since then. Weeks later they get all of these new accounts and 5 star reviews?? I think they're behind it, honestly.
AppSumo NEEDS to take action. Wow. This is unreal and I believe a first here.
Here's video evidence too: https://d.pr/v/vD3RRM
*up to 12...TWELVE 5 star reviews LOL
This tells you ALL you need to know about this company!
Keep in mind that 10+ separate accounts and actual purchases had to have been made to allow all these fake reviews. That is a lot of effort...!
Although a bunch of deals would need to be purchased to achieve this by a bad actor, they could simply refund the deals after making the reviews, and essentially game the system. However, I would be shocked if this was actually being done by the founder as no one could be this naive to think people would fall such a blatant spam review attempt.
Appsumo can see IP addresses and has the credit card and billing address...so a little research would reveal a lot...
