Again, got done request via Instagram to upvote a hotel for 5,- dollars with immediate pay. The hotel is already given. You only have to post positive 5 star review and you get your 5 bucks.
OK, now, at one point, I want to know if it's really true. It's just interesting. But the thing is, you'll be returning a screenshot whit your full name and gave them the fact that you're naive to cooperate. So, is maybe that's the scam? Figuring out who is that naive person in real life to do further scammed directed at the person? Because if they don't pay (or just anyway) you can delete your recommendation.

I won't do it because I don't like their payment method. I asked them to do it by bank what is a lie - they will still get your name. Else I would've done it with a duplicate Google account to stay anonymous.

Sigh, it keeps me busy to figure out actual scams. I always engage to find out but I think I understand this one.

I also could just make a screenshot of someone else his recent recommendation. I tell the person I will do it sometime later, wait for someone else to post and claim it was me. In that case I need a crypto wallet for the payout. Hmm. Not very ethical.

    Sad that the review system, which has been implemented so that people can be informed about the quality of something, is being abused like that.

    !surprised, though.

    @D-4got10-01 Not surprised in the least.

    @Root The review system is one of those things that might've sounded good on paper, but then met w/ reality.

    For some businesses this might've even be the get-go idea for implementation to have all the 5★ reviews to boost sales / client engagement.

    I also hate how everyone haggles you for reviews

    if i liked the place I can't even stand out anymore. also I don't like being asked to do things. not my idea of fun when people "want" things from me

    maybe they should have in the reviews section if you were prompted to review them or did it of your own volition

    @jestdotty haha, yes, that you tell them to delete your review after a while. But as I said, it's probably to get your name. They don't care about the review that you can delete whenever you want.

    @SidTheITGuy that's one of the most funny internet videos of all time. I wonder in what situation the guy is caring so much about it.
