Fake Reviews and the Damage They Cause

In today’s digital economy, trust often rests on online reviews. But what happens when those reviews aren’t real? Fake reviews, whether overly glowing or maliciously negative, are not harmless. They can mislead consumers, distort reputations, and protect the interests of those who don’t want scrutiny.

In this episode, we explore:

• How fake reviews distort consumer trust and damage genuine businesses
• The warning signs that help you spot fake reviews online
• Why Insolvency & Law has been targeted with false reviews
• How unregulated introducers, trustees, and connected parties benefit from misinformation
• The steps Insolvency & Law is taking, including legal action, to protect its reputation and maintain transparency

Fake reviews are more than an annoyance, they are part of a wider strategy to deter scrutiny and mislead the public. But we will not be silenced.
