“TripAdvisor helps scammer with fake good reviews and removes posts calling TravelUp a fraud
Fake positive reviewing is a criminal practice under the EU's Directive on Unfair Business-to-Consumer Commercial Practices. Any firm breaking the rules may face prosecution, stiff fines and possibly even jail terms for its staff.
Today I posted 'Taking TravelUp Limited to court for refusing to refund'.
Within seconds, paid trolls jumped to defend TravelUp. I replied, following strictly TripAdvisors rules and and explaining why TravelUp is a fraud and how they breached their own Terms and Conditions. Surprise-surprise, TripAdvisor deleted my post, as they prefered to stand with paying scammers, against their readers. Fair enough, we are not paying :)
However, TripAdvisor is not the only forum. I'm now posting this on Trustpilot and other websites. Both TripAdvisor and TravelUp will be clearly named, with keywords such as 'fraud', 'scam', 'censured', so that both companies could be googled easier. TripAdvisor can remove any post for any reason, but...I also can post anywhere :)
It was your choice, TripAdvisor!
