At last some light entertainment in the fake reviews department on TP. We have five stars from a lady posting her first review of a Phenomenal Investment. Pity that even with the fantastic returns, she's getting, she couldn't get Lendy's name right. "... Lenny is one of the more lucrative investments that I’ve made over the years. I am making anywhere from 9-13% on my money currently. Looking forward to the direction I’m headed towards." I can't imagine why she would be looking forward to defaults etc but it takes all kinds. Just report them as the fakes they so clearly are. Fakes? My goodness! Are you saying that we can't trust the word of Eliza Trumpence, Forspence Hetherington, Cadence Slocombe and Melisa Trumpington-Smythe?

Another blatantly fake 5 star review tonight from Louise V ...
What a joke Trustpilot is.
Unfortunately,arranging for the posting of fake reviews on the internet is a sort of Custer's last stand strategy commonly adopted by failing businesses.
Unless of course these blatantly fake reviews are being posted by somebody with an alternative agenda but if that were the case I would still expect Lendy to seek their removal since they are obviously false and when customers see blatantly fake reviews it makes them run a mile from the business in question. Particularly given that they have forced the removal of many genuine reviews from genuine customers on the grounds of triviality and semantics.
So either way I would say Lendy are culpable and deep in the brown stuff.

Tools like IP masking won't prevent Trustpilot documenting the MAC address of the machine and of the router being used to fabricate them, machine configurations, hardware hashes etc. It's the kind of amateurish behaviour which only becomes apparent upon court orders to release data well into criminal trials should any case progress that far.

Fake reviews are quite useful in a way. On the presumption that TrustPilot don't pay for the reviews, could an assumption be made that the service provider being reviewed has paid for them?
If the service provider is paying for fake reviews, then that tells you all you need to know about the integrity of the firm. And as a clear marker to stay away.

As a representative of The Money Platform. With all due respect, rather than you spend time on here. Could you not sort the mess of The Money Platform out and start updating the information that has been provided . Thanks

Lendy have reported the most recent review by "Liam Brooke" portraying the CEO of Lendy as a fake and false review. Interesting....

I've just had a look at themoneyplatform.com website that you are a representative off as it's the first time I have heard of it and I must admit, I would be staying away from that platform. Representative borrowing rate of 1294%APR!

It’s worth a quick look at TP. A recent review allegedly by Liam Brookes has been reported by Lendy as a fake review. They should know, I guess. However the same Liam Brookes had four other reviews posted at pretty much the same time. They are collectively amusing. Give them a read before the fakery team spot it was a bigger p*** take than they thought.
Afterthought: It might be harder for them to get the fake reviews of other companies pulled.

Also amusing is that "Liam Brookes" liked all the 5 star reviews by the ladies with poor English that have only done one review in total.

Value incontinence was my favourite.

The latest five star review by one Leonard Dee makes me wonder if the alleged fake Liam Brookes has a cunning plan and more than one fake identity. The review is so outrageously false that it ought to be warning people away. Perhaps someone has thought that rather than complaining about fake reviews, they should plaster TP with fake five star reviews so bizarre that Lendy would be totally discredited. If I have misjudged this I hope I haven't given anyone wild ideas.
" Excellent business, been with them since the start and personally have made a LOT of money from my investments. Great returns and incredibly low risk.
No losses with Lendy, only gains. Looking forward to a very successful and lucrative future with Lendy; can only see this great company heading in one direction! If you are thinking of joining Lendy I recommend you ignore all the negative reviewers that just want to keep all the good loans for themselves and invest hard and big and then sit back and watch that interest roll in.
Gets a 10 from Len"
Brilliant eh?
