Businesses Pressure Reviews BBB Warns

About this episode

The episode discusses the rise in businesses pressuring customers to change negative reviews, highlighting a warning from the Better Business Bureau.

Businesses are being caught pressuring customers to alter or delete negative reviews, with the Better Business Bureau warning of a troubling uptick—over 2,700 complaints in two years, up 15%. In Alaska alone, 16 cases surfaced, mostly in car sales and property management. Tactics range from sweeteners like fixing problems to threats of legal action. The BBB verifies reviews to ensure authenticity and urges victims to document everything before reporting to the FTC or seeking mediation. For businesses, the right approach is honest engagement—not coercion. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
