Fake self-reviews by scammers

[coolpop]

The positive reviews on jerseyshoredigital were all by people for whom 1) this is the only review they ever submitted and 2) they joined RR the same day they submitted. Just a bit suspicious.

Jerseyshoredigital site used to have logos of BizRate and Verisign but these have since been taken down. Perhaps people complain if you just copy the logo jpg's without the service?

Perhaps RR should relocate to Brooklyn with your loyal customers?

If you randomly select reviews from the RR 'Store Ratings' you will find that a majority of the reviews are by one time posters.

Well, I would personally be a little more suspicious if they joined and then posted only one review 3 years later.
I would likely be very suspicious if they posted a review and joined a few days later.
But then again, you posted on the day you joined. Should we also be suspicious of that?
