Yelp

It's not even a business - another fraud machine created by... you know who...
We never created Yelp account for my small business - someone did and left 3 negative and absolutely irrelevant reviews. That's all we have - 3 negative reviews. Tens of thousands of happy customers - but Yelp is showing us as a evil company with 3 negative feedbacks and those did not come form our customers.
Now try leaving your review about Yelp - let's say on Google - you simply cannot.
We consumers should have equal rights to review all the businesses - you would think you can, but apparently not for the "saint" Yelp, Facebook, Twitter and other commie party propaganda outlets.
Equality? Fair reviews? Forget about it.

These people are ruthless. They removed all 17 of my 5 star reviews to not recommended. I am a small 1 chair hair salon and my potential clients read reviews to decide on whose going to cut & color their hair. They said that Their software is deleting all of my reviews and there's nothing they can do but yet they can help me improve my presence by selling either stupid and ridiculously overpriced advertising. Think this is a conflict of interest? I would really like to gather up a bunch of people and file a class action lawsuit against them because they're damaging everybody's reputation if you don't purchase their advertising.

I am surprised Yelp's rating is low. I always use it when I am trying to find a new restaurant or even trying to decide what to try at a new place. Their "highlights" have kind of gone down hill. It's not so helpful, when you highlight words like "bar," "music," or "brunch." They used to be more specific recommendations for good dishes to order... hence only 4 stars. Also, did you notice how some of the reviews are hidden at the bottom... down to 3 stars now.

I tried yelp business for my small business. They completely raped me of $400+
which I had been tricked into signing up for things when I thought I was talking to a helpful representative.
I never authorize 400 to come out in one charge. And they can't really justify it.
The "customer service" person Sharice, kept me on hold for almost 20 minutes just to tell me they won't issue a refund. I will never use Yelp again. All that money I have to pay and I got zero clicks on my page. Yelp is just happy to swindle that money, even though I am a single mom trying to run a small business.

Yet another day goes by with no work, or progress. Not even a phone call to explain to us why our pool will be delayed again. Yet my Friend that works for a major home builder says they worked all week on new construction. That's because they the home builder can not close on the house unless the pool is complete. Choose wisely Blue Haven has not been open or clear on schedules, and will use every excuse why they can not do there job, instead of saying how it will be resolved.

If there is such thing as a digital mafia, this company is it! Some of the same buzzwords can be used to describe them.

They "hide" great reviews and display $#*!ty ones, then give you a call and try to get money out of you at which point, your good reviews will magically show up and affect your overall rating.

I'm sorry, but if any other company did this... "pay us money and be honest" scheme, they would be burned at the stake.

Yelp, I've got a 1 word review for you - $#*!.

Run, run, run! Their review process can kill you- it has me. They scan all reviews and if a review looks "too good" they assume i have solicited someone for it and they wont credit it to my ratings. I have fabulous reviews- most not posted. But they let all the bad ones thru since its obvious i didnt solicit those. I lost more than 50% business when a terribly false review was allowed to stand. She said i had a mouth like a truck driver, which i dont, and she said many other things. Yelp could fact check some things but the wont. They are hard to use for also...Too many steps for reaching out and i lose track of people. Its a watered down version of google. No need to advertise in both locations and my experience with google has been so much better. The biggest problem though is you cant disappear from yelp. You can stop paying them but your ad and terrible rating stay forever. Just say no.

Yelp is a FRAUD. They randomly weed out negative reviews to provide misleadingly favorable ratings for terrible businesses that routinely rip people off. I personally have posted detailed negative reviews, only to have them deemed "not recommended," for no apparent reason. A hairdresser friend of mine told me if you don't take out ads with them, they'll publish obviously false reviews written by your competitors and weed out favorable ones.

I wish I had read the several hundred horrible reviews on Yelp before I decided to do the "Free $300 trial program". To start I paid several hundred- never got one sale out if it. Yelps ads & practices are deceptive, plus extortion- they purposely posted bad reviews from another business in another state from 5 years ago. They refuse to fix the issue until I pay them several hundred! When I refused, they kept harassing me, and then they reported it to credit bureau. It's unethical, unprofessional and illegal. If anybody starts a class action lawsuit, please count me in. They deserve to be put out of business!

Let's just say if you were one of the popular kids in school and want to provide free content in the form of reviews for a totally corrupt site, you will love the s#! T out of this piece of trash site.

If you are not one of those people (me included) prepare to be bullied all over again. It WILL happen, guaranteed. From the top down. Elite is a f##king joke.

Get a few scraps of "free" food, awkwardly interact with people you hate... I have fully described the elite experience. I forgot to mention, they constantly control your content and pictures. By the local guard your wonderful community manager.

If someone threatens your life, and you are not on the CM's personal VIP list, oh well, you can go f##k yourself. Enjoy writing free reviews that may or may not be flagged by your "fans".

Or threatened vaguely with legal action by Yelp for a credible review, which like everything else on Yelp is fake. Enjoy your free scraps and mind control. I f##king loved every minute of it.

Horrible size chart, miss represented material, bad, bad, return policy, refuse refunds in a way that always costs the customer money. Dishonest company. They rip you off. Any positive reviews of this company are probably put there by the company.
