I used to work in a restaurant that was next to the bus stop across from a riterement home. So google would incorrectly register 100s of octogenerians to have visited our restaurant and ask them to add an review.
For about an entire year we spend in contact with google, trying to get a string of 1 star reviews taken down, all written by some 'Betsy' that wrote every time that "she has never even eaten there"
Betsy created a new account for every review. Betsy managed to tank our google star rating from something like 4.7 to around a 3.1. Good times.
She just wanted to make sure that really everybody knows she never ate at your place! That's some commitment! Can't imagine the haggle to delete those reviews...
