Fake google reviews and the havok they cause

After going to the worst restaurant ever, based on an awesome google review, (4.7 stars with close to 2,000 reviews) I started to look into the issue more.

And, wow, the whole thing stinks.

The problem is a lot more than fake reviews.
It’s extortion on small business by scammers leaving multiple, fake, bad reviews and offering to only remove them if paid!
