A False Boob?

NEW YORK, N.Y. (July 14, 2009) – Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo today announced a settlement with cosmetic surgery outfit Lifestyle Lift over the publishing of fake consumer reviews on the Internet.

Under the settlement, ’Lifestyle Lift’ Will Pay $300,000 in Penalties and Costs to New York State and they will stop publishing anonymous positive reviews about the company to Internet message boards and other Web sites.

Lifestyle Lift said in a statement that it “regrets that earlier third-party Web site content did not always properly reflect and acknowledge patient comments or indicate that the content was provided by Lifestyle Lift.”

False reviews are becoming more and more common, especially with the popularity of sites such as Amazon and ePinions.

We think it’s despicable that any organisation would stoop so low as to try to manipulate consumer opinion by posting completely false information.
