Reviews ?

Recently had to replace our pressure washer, read all the specs and prices and customer reviews etc, went for what I thought would be the best VFM and highest pressure etc,
Good quick delivery, well packed but not a patch on my old Nilfisk, getting to my point, the company offered a £10 rebate if I gave them a 5 star review ! Is this general practice ? I think I will now ignore all 5 star reviews

Unfortunately it is now quite a common practice

Yep.... Had a delivery by Yodel a couple of days ago.
48hr delivery took 5 days.
On checking their website for tracking updates a came across their 'testimonials'
Dozens of glowing 5* reviews and only a very few 1*.
Everyone knows Yodel are only surpassed in the 'no idea, waste of time' stakes by Herpes.

Been going on for years, a young lass where I used to live paid for her holidays by giving sparkling reviews for things she'd never seen or heard of.

She got caught out when she was reviewing a combine harvester after getting the harvest in, in February.

That was unfair I knew the girl, she lives in Kurdistan harvest is earlier than ours

I was pestered for a review of a Panasonic steam oven, so I took the time to do so.
Strangely, it had to be reviewed first and never made it onto their web page...
