Google is suing an alleged scammer for running an elaborate scheme to flood its search product with fake businesses and reviews.
Over the last two years, Google says the defendants created over 350 fake business profiles that received at least 14,000 fake reviews.
In yet another instance, Google used essential oils and a massage chair to verify an aromatherapy and reiki business’s reviews.
Google claims that Hu would advertise these listings for rent and sale on Facebook pages and then callers would be routed through that fake listing to a real plumbing business with a less sophisticated online footprint.
The plaintiff’s lawsuit accuses Hu of knowingly helping to flood the search results page with fake advertisements and false reviews.
It accuses him of manipulating words like flooding and review in order to trick callers into calling the wrong number
