通过虚假的谷歌评论敲诈小企业, Small businesses are being extorted via fake Google reviews, with scammers demanding payment to remove them.

全国范围的小企业正成为涉及假谷歌审查的骗局的目标,如棕榈湾的3LP Roofing所见,后者同时收到多次负面审查,没有客户基础。 Small businesses nationwide are being targeted by a scam involving fake Google reviews, as seen with 3LP Roofing in Palm Bay, which received multiple negative reviews at once with no customer basis. 公司后来通过WhatsApp收到要求支付费用以删除评论, The company later received a payment demand via WhatsApp to remove the reviews, a known tactic. 当局警告说,协调的假审查往往使用相同的语言,被用来损害名誉,可能是为了破坏或敲诈。 Authorities warn that coordinated fake reviews, often with identical language, are used to damage reputations, possibly for sabotage or extortion. 专家建议企业所有者监测网上存在情况,向谷歌报告可疑审查,避免欺诈者参与,同时依靠BBB等可靠来源进行核查。 Experts advise business owners to monitor online presence, report suspicious reviews to Google, and avoid engaging scammers, while relying on trusted sources like the BBB for verification.
