We monitor reviews for authenticity
I wrote a one star negative review of a web service on Trustpilot. Trustpilot contacted me saying my review had been "flagged by our software or our Content Integrity Team" and they had removed the review but not deleted it. They said I could reply to their email to discuss the matter but they failed to respond to two emails.
I believe Trustpilot is engaged in the marketing of fee paying companies by removing negative reviews. I believe my negative review was removed because the subject of the review complained to Trustpilot.
I have no faith in Trustpilot reviews. There are some companies with a 100% rating after thousands of reviews. I do not believe any company gets no bad reviews.
I've been reading some appalling things for last 3 months on trust pilot, love holidays are getting customers and staff to write fake reviews, one obvious reason for me to write this is love holidays only has online chat which quite clearly states that, so why is their 5 star reviews saying I spoke to a lovely lady on the phone when it's impossible, this is a daily occurrence by many fake reviews, will never ever use trust pilot again as what's the point.
Everytime I write a review it gets deleted by them a couple days later saying they can't verify it! Of course you can't verify it. How are you suppose to know? The reviews are negative reviews I feel the public has a right to know about if they are searching for reviews of an online business. Going to have to put reviews on other sites. Now some person may lose money and not get a refund or their package because trust pilot won't let any of my reviews stay on their website. What's the point of the site if they are going to take every review down? Stick with pissed consumer!
Trustpilot indicated review could not be posted using Google - try later or use Email yet they would not deliver the email. Merrick review details issue with Merrick's website, as follows: Only One thing Merrick Bank needs to do better... CHALLENGE QUESTIONS on its website. Why have Challenge questions if Website can't retain the questions/ answers that apply to a particular customer. The website ASKS CHALLENGE QUESTIONS that were NEVER answered in the registration process. This creates REPEATED issues with using website. Merrick should provide a link to its IT Department. The CS Agents are GREAT! However, CS agents can't immediately correct website issues; having the CS agents take the website correction request adds another layer to the CORRECTION timeline. In view of COvid19 delays, this inflates the number of calls, in queue to Customer Service for an unnecessary website issue... Again, why have Challenge questions, if Website can't retain the questions/ answers that apply to a particular customer. HD Booker - TX
It kept removing my genuine review of a company, no detailed reason just said ''has been flagged by our software or our Content Integrity Team because we've been unable to verify the authenticity of it. ''
More like the certain company bought off any 1 star feedback placed on them.
This Trustpilot is a total scam. Don't trust them at all
I did a very bad review of the managing agent of the block of apartments where I have a flat. It was deserved. It was like living in Beirut. So - I try to log in again. Forget it. My password does not work?! Then I try to change it. The link times out. So, they tell me to try a different device. Same problem. My conclusion as a very boring accountant is that they don' t wish me to post another review
After receiving a defective product I left a 2 star review on their trustpilot page. The owner flagged my review and wanted proof of purchase. After providing everything I could to prove I have purchased the product my review was taken down. Companies can literally take down any review they do not like.
Joe Lycett pointedly argues against using the site. I submitted my Girotti review and it was removed after the company reported it. Joke.
This company is affecting people choice by deleting my bad comment regarding a company. I have all the proofs that this company SAFECURR is supported by Trustpilot and they are deleting my message. I have been robbed by this companies. They returned my money but they hold it for more than 2 weeks plus they charged me the fees of the transaction. When you check the chat photos from the support, they steal photos that are online and cover their true identity. They are very rude and they blocked me even tho they still had my money. And Trustpilot want to delete my message because they think that it is not a problem to pay fees for services that you don't get and at the same time your money are hold back until I wrote to Trustpilot.
I reviewed a company with this group. Twice they removed my unfavorable review stating it was a false claim. So provide my receipt. And nothing. I also noticed the company i was reviewing there bad comments also started to disappear. DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE. THEY ARE FAKE AND PAID TO GIVE FAVORABLE REVIEWS
You are prompted to review a company on trustpilot. If you write a negative review, the company that asked for the review will have it stricken, and Trustpilot will slowball you, not providing you with information and refusing to acknowledge anything you do.
Trustpilot absolutely can not be trusted as an accurate review site. I have repeatedly proven a translation that took place between myself and the company I left a review for and trustpilot continues to find a reason not to publish it. I have sent several emails only to get the same reply. They are the only review site that's plus except my accurate review.
They removed my bad review from their platform
"Your review of bittrex.com has been flagged by our software or our Content Integrity Team because we've been unable to verify its authenticity. That means we've removed your review from our platform."
Merchants pay them to only let positive reviews through their system
I have left 1 star review about a website called collectskins that has a contract with trustpilot and it has 0 negative reviews you wanna know why? Because trustpilot is dealing with them and banning any account that puts a negative review on that specific site, you can check it out yourself so this fkin trust pilot that have banned all my accounts "6" that i have put 1 star each time i test it to be very sure.
Trustpilot allows difamation about websites
We own a website with almost two thousand customers.
From time to time, some scammers try to get our services and after that submit a money chargeback to their card provider in order to get the services for free.
We have a strict terms and conditions of use to avoid such situations. However, some of these scammers (3 by now) take advantage of Trustpilot gangster's paradise to freely write fraud reviews with fraud information when we impede them to reach their scam purchase goal.
We did not asked for a Trustpilot profile. We don't mind being reviewed with real information but it is unacceptable that Trustpilot allows Sacammers to difamate websites like ours and, in the other hand, deletes systematically good reviews wrote by satisfied customers.
I wrote a review on trustpilot and they say they may have to remove it because the company complained.the company was falinas. They have a good review with trustpilot, but with almost all other review sites they have bad reviews.?. So you cannot trust the reviews with trustpilot.
They keep taking my reviews down and have not contacted me at any time to prove i am real and genuine there are much better review sites like sitejabber and reviews.io
I had a bad review about a company endurance warranties I was notified by trustpilot that they were pulling the review due to the fact that that endurance speculated that they had no interaction with an anonymous anonymous reviewer which makes no sense I validate information by sending information to trustpilot to show them that I had a valid interaction with this company and a contract so they would not continue to suspend the review and post it back as lie but they never got back to me it seems that they are being paid by this company with shows a conflict of interest they want to keep the reviews for their particular company that pay into them positive and I used to think trustpilot was a good company but I'm out of the compromised so I would look for other sites to review to get factual representation of the company and negative reviews at any company that has a bunch of positive Group reviews I will be wary of because you also need those negative reviews they don't understand what they're doing what their business model
They are not genuine. They use fake reviews & selective reviews to provide an endorsement of a company or product. Some of the most blatantly dishonest firms in the UK have dropped more honest reviewers because they were too honest. Lo & behold Trustpilot come along & the crooks get a 5 star rating. Buy a used car from a firm with a great Trustpilot review & you are probably wasting money. Review sites should be independent.
Answer: Simple it is their website so they remove reviews that are negative just like how they let complains report negative reviews on their website. Trustpilot is not a good website the company allows companys to report reviews and since the companys pay them many reviews are taken off and removed..
