Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Well... as it turns out, Lauren and Matt are frauds. Neither took a ride with "Fighter Combat Adventures" and both posted such glowing but false reviews because they were working for a "Search Manipulation" company that Riggs had hired to clean up his online reputation. Contacts with the company confirm that Riggs hired them to "polish" his rep, that the reviews were false, and that David Riggs, specifically, hired them to undertake the actions we questioned some time ago. When the company that posted these glowing reviews learned about the background of Mr. Riggs, and did a little checking of their own (at our urging), the reviews were removed within minutes. Complaints to Yelp about this problem resulted in no action and called were returned by Yelp to discuss the blatant frauds we unearthed."
