Short Explanation: There are fraudulent 5-star reviews for this company... so buyer beware. I don't know about you guys, but if a company has the indecency to regular post counterfeit reviews and slander their competition (see below for the evidence I uncovered), then how can I trust them to treat me as a customer? I was seriously going to purchase a course from them, but have decided against it based on what I found. I'm truly appalled and disappointed. :(\r
\r
Long Explanation (what I emailed directly to CitySearch for investigation):\r
After careful investigation, I have come to the conclusion that someone at this business has been regularly posting fraudulent reviews. As I was thinking of purchasing a course from this business, I looked through all the ratings and found the ratings rather suspicious-looking. The reviewers either gave it a 5-star rating with a STELLAR review (not even saying a mediocre thing about the place) or the reviews were REALLY bad (things like the company scammed them out of money). After looking into the 5-star ratings further, I realized that nearly all of them reviewed ONLY this business (at all 3 locations) and there will be 2 reviews from the same day, a few month gap, and then 2 reviews on the same day again. Most of them also have IDs with the word ""bartender"" in it. \r
But the REAL sign that they are fraudulent is that some of the reviews are the EXACT SAME over 2 IDs. For example, girlybartender's review for the Fayetteville location (4/2/2010) is exactly the same as mixemup's review for the Charlotte location (3/31/2010). Jenbartender's review for the Greenville location (11/24/2008) is exactly the same as the Mandasaywhat's review for the Charlotte location (11/25/2008). And Scorpio4Lyfe's review for the Charlotte location (3/1/2010) is the same as carolinabartender's review for the Greenville location (4/7/2010). To make matters worse, it seems they are slandering their competition, since Mandasaywhat's profile gave the exact same terrible review for two competing bartending schools (Charlotte's Bartending School and Absolute Bartending College), only switching out a name. The review even has a ""plug"" for ABC Bartending School. \r
As a regular CitySearch user, I believe that accurate and honest reviews are of the upmost importance. I hope that someone looks into this matter so that people aren't mislead to patron a dishonest company that does something as deceitful as regularly posting false 5-star reviews for their company.
