Simple way of cheating!

The guy should be banned really. Anyone with a genuine service that works wouldn't need to stoop this low. Just hand out some free review copies and you can get the positive reviews if you have a real service. Disgusting really, scammer through and through.

With this much evidence they should be banned instantly.
Its obvious that not all cheaters can be caught fast but at least we should clean those that are found...
it would raise quality of Marketplace a lot, and others would think twice before they try to pull things like this.
With things like this going on am loosing my trust for marketplace more and more With each thread like this and am sure other members have same lack of trust too, and over time it will certainty affect good sellers also

great investigative work W130SN!
I wonder what the mods have done about this.

The only BHW connection I found so far is this:

Which leads to this BHW profile

I must say W130SN can be an online detective.

I have spent the last few days reading that Alien SEO thread for fun.

The tactics used in it are hilarious, unless you're one of the poor suckers that lost your $$$$.

So many obvious fake reviews in it.

Complaints covered with giant posts that distract.

Person after person complaining about no response to issues.

It is truly incredible that people keep handing him money! And I'm ot talking about a few bucks here and there! I would guess that quite a few hundreds of thousands have been made off of suckers. Amazing!

At one point a mod (Wiz I think?) tells OP to improve customer relations through contacts, but that's it.

Complaint after complaint, distraction after distraction, fake review after fake review. Scares the shit out of me to even think about BST's here.

Then you guys discover that he is paying for fake reviews. Then a mod says it is being investigated. But the BST is live and sucking up more suckers as we speak.

And now he has a journey thread to gather more fools.

Is this BHW? Wow!

P.S. Thank you Mogs, W130 and others that have looked into this. I wish some of you guys could sift through all of the BST BS. It would be a lot safer.

So nothing happened from this?

Speaking of which, what's up with the "Google Front Page For $3" and such ads on here? Really???
