Yelp Sucks

Looks like they can’t stop. I’m still being harassed by Yelp employees, Yelp affiliates sharing my personal home information along with my personal phone number as well

The person who started this goes by “Jason”

This is beyond gross and reinforces the “Yelp is bad for business” standard towards small businesses

Calling and texting my personal phone number while contacting my office pretending to be a customer is not okay

This started after Jason posted our information

This definitely helps with the lawsuit we are part of but it also feels like intimidation

It will not work

Really gross people out there

How can I find elite yelpers in my area and get them to use my professional services? Hudson valley NY tax accountant.

Say something against Yelp and Yelp Elites…I got doxxed

Is this okay? Perverts doxxing small businesses?

I can help with that, no it’s not okay

At this point, a report with the individual has been filed

Pretty gross people out there

Hi everyone, I really need some advice from the community or any Yelp moderators who might be lurking here.

Recently, our business was hit with a 1-star review on Yelp. The frustrating part? This person never actually hired us. They simply reached out asking for a quote, we provided it, and they felt the price was too high. And the reviewer clearly stated that in the review itself. Instead of just moving on or declining, they went straight to our Yelp page and dropped a 1-star rating solely based on the price quote. And never tested the price against the actual service we provide.

It feels incredibly unfair that our overall rating—which we work so hard to maintain by doing great work for our actual clients—can be dragged down by someone who never even experienced the quality of our service.

I know Yelp’s Content Guidelines say a review must be based on a "first-hand consumer experience." Does simply asking for a price genuinely count as a consumer experience even when no service is rendered?

Has any other business owner dealt with this specific issue successfully? I want to report the review, but I’m worried the automated system will just instantly reject the claim. Is there a specific reporting category or approach I should use to get a human moderator to look at this and realize how unreasonable it is?

Thanks in advance for any support or guidance!

Well it finally happen for me today. I hit the daily check in limit at 25 places on the Yelp app. I think I heard before it was 20 as the limit but today I checked into 25 different places in 4 cities and I finally got hit with no more check for today message LOL
