Solutions, in Los Angeles when she received a startling message on WhatsApp in June. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone has ordered me to post a negative review on your business,\u201d the message from a number based in Pakistan stated. \u201cGot an order to post 20 reviews.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Piper\u2019s inquiry into the identity of the sender led her into a widespread scam that has been affecting small businesses globally. Fraudsters are extorting hundreds of dollars from business owners by threatening to post fake negative reviews on platforms like Google Maps, or by posting such reviews and demanding payment for their removal, according to various business accounts and industry watchdog data.<\/p>\n<p>Small businesses that depend on online reviews\u2014such as movers, roofing companies, and appliance repair services\u2014are often the primary targets. Negative reviews can significantly harm a business\u2019s star rating and online reputation, resulting in substantial revenue losses. Once posted, these reviews can also be challenging to remove from Google.<\/p>\n<p>Piper had previously paid $150 to a person using a number from Bangladesh to eliminate some unfavorable comments before the new scam inquired about her business. She then paid $100 to the individual in Pakistan for the removal of additional reviews. However, weeks later, ten more fake reviews appeared on her profile. This time, she decided not to pay, and after reporting the fraud, Google eventually removed the reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Before the removal, Piper\u2019s Google rating plummeted from 5.0 to 3.6 stars. \u201cIt took me eight years to build my reputation, and one person can damage it in a single day,\u201d she expressed during an interview.<\/p>\n<p>While many consumers view online reviews as a reliable source for making purchase decisions, research indicates that ratings are often subject to manipulation. Companies like Google and Amazon regularly eliminate hundreds of millions of fake reviews annually; however, numerous fraudulent reviews continue to evade detection.<\/p>\n<p>Scammers have exploited vulnerabilities in the review system for years, but the advent of artificial intelligence tools has escalated their activities, enabling them to generate high volumes of realistic-sounding fake reviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere exists an underworld behind the online content that people are largely unaware of,\u201d said Kay Dean, a former federal investigator monitoring these scams through her initiative, Fake Review Watch. Dean has identified over 150 businesses worldwide affected by fake negative reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Watchdog organizations and business owners are increasingly blaming platforms like Google for inadequate responses to these issues, claiming that moderation practices lack transparency and offering minimal tools for businesses to safeguard their online reputations. \u201cThese businesses are being extorted, and Google isn\u2019t doing enough about it,\u201d Dean remarked.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) established a new regulation aimed primarily at businesses that purchase fake positive reviews. However, this regulation did not impose new requirements on review platforms such as Google, Yelp, or Amazon, which have expansive legal protections under Section 230 regarding content on their sites.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the FTC stated that \u201creviews must reflect the honest opinions of the reviewer\u201d and noted that individuals responsible for fake reviews could face civil penalties exceeding $53,000 per incident. The FTC also collaborates with international authorities to combat overseas scams.<\/p>\n<p>While Google allows its users to report fake reviews, business owners have no means to contact the company directly. Piper attempted to reach out through various channels, even contacting the advertising department through which she invests thousands to promote her business, but received no assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil those reviews are removed, you get no calls, and no customers want to hire you,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>In response, a Google spokesperson assured that the company removes the \u201cvast majority of fraudulent content before it\u2019s ever seen\u201d and has taken action against over 900,000 accounts for recurring policy violations. The spokesperson also shared that Google plans to launch a tool for businesses to report scam attempts, although further details were not provided.<\/p>\n<p>After removing her cellphone number from her business pages, Piper was able to halt new scam-related messages on WhatsApp, effectively ending her ordeal. She has encouraged other businesses in her network to take similar precautions.<\/p>\n<p>Research by Dean highlighted that one account responsible for posting fake reviews on Piper\u2019s business had targeted over 30 other companies, including a drywall service in Covington, Washington, and a locksmith in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>Another victim of this scam is Nick Betourney, who operates a moving company in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Having spent years cultivating genuine customer reviews, Betourney achieved a 5-star rating on Google Maps. However, on August 11, he received a WhatsApp message indicating a contract had been placed for 20 fake 1-star reviews on his page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are specifically targeting smaller service-based businesses that don\u2019t accumulate as many reviews as larger companies,\u201d Betourney stated. He reported the malicious reviews, which Google subsequently removed, only for five more fake 1-star reviews to appear the next day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reviews were not just vague complaints; they included elaborate claims, like movers intentionally smashing a box,\u201d he recounted.<\/p>\n<p>The individual who contacted Betourney used the name Rashid Ghallu on WhatsApp, claiming to run a business that writes fake reviews for $100 per 20 reviews. When approached by The New York Times, this individual denied extorting businesses, insisting instead that they receive contracts to post negative reviews and reach out beforehand to offer businesses the option to pay.<\/p>\n<p>Dean indicated that patterns such as multiple businesses being bombarded with negative reviews from phony accounts should be straightforward for Google to identify and remove. However, these reviews often remain posted until each business files an individual report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just an ocean of disinformation,\u201d she commented, \u201cand people lack both the ability and time to discern what is real versus fake.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared in <strong>The New York Times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><style>\r\n@keyframes
