Kimberlee, I don't need a fake review to have a good review (less than 1% of my clients agreed to write me a review when I asked them for the help; when you're really great at what you do, clients DO NOT want to tell others and render you more expensive and less available, LOL). I don't need any reviews, frankly, to do well. But I MOST CERTAINLY don't want lies about me being tolerated.
My age is part of my honest presentation; this false (yet nice) review is a lie (don't know what some of it is talking about, but I know that it says at least one thing that simply isn't true...that's all I need to require it to be gone). It doesn't help people understand what they're getting if they book me, when information about me out there is off-base. With all the moronic rumors and lies people tell about me, stemming from their jealousy of my success, it's tough enough for me! I can't let BS stand where it's blatant, as in this case.
So...I vigorously enforce a policy of honesty in my business, and I don't care that this review is positive...I care that it's a lie. Dishonesty isn't okay just because it's not an insult this time. My clients appreciate that I run an honest business; ethics are very important to me and to those with whom I'm a good match.
So thanks, I appreciate your opinion, but I respectfully disagree with your advice. Emailed the admins and my attorney; lies are lies.
xoxo,
