Who do you contact if you suspect someone is reviewing products they don't own or use?

I would suggest JR or Sammi. Sammi is in charge of the editing program, so it makes sense, to me, that she might be the person to contact. I hope. Good luck and hopefully this works out for the best.

I thought about Sammi but I wasn't sure. I hate to even report this but I've lived with this feeling for a month or so and tried to stop even looking at their reviews if I see they posted any because I felt so guilty for thinking this - now to have people ask me about it though makes me wonder if I should do something.

I think the people have come to me and asked me because we're friends but also because I do write so many bath and beauty product reviews and I visit all the company websites, etc. so I would recognize if something was off (like stating that they had a product in several smaller tubes to carry around with them - but the company doesn't make it that way).

I will probably contact both Sammi and JR.

Thanks folks - I went ahead and contacted JR and Sammi and figured that one of them will either handle it or know who to send it to. I gave them examples of why I was feeling this way and said that now that I was handing this over to them, I was going to go back to not reading this person's reviews and just let them handle everything.

Phew!

Hm...there is one reviewer that writes a lot of reviews, but whenever I ask this person a question about the product - on the review or through a PM - they never answer it. Ever. Now that you mention this, I am wondering if this might be the case with this particular reviewer. No answers because they don't have the product to begin with.

Don't feel bad about doing it, I would want too know who is doing it too. Reason being is sometimes before I make my purchases I tend to use the reviews a lot to help me decide before I buy something. I do this on all sites that I am on. So if someone is being dishonest I would like to know.

Hi folks! I just want to add something to this thread.

I wouldn't have posted it if I had known for sure who to contact and I'd really rather not discuss this with folks. I've had some folks email me to ask who this was because they have several alerts set or because they had their own suspicions and I will say that I am not giving out the person's name. I didn't do it here and I won't do it privately either. I'm sorry - but I just don't feel comfortable doing it....so I won't be sharing their name.

Let's just leave it in the hands of JR and Sammi please. If you have concerns about someone and think you might know who this is and you have felt the same way - then go ahead and contact them also and they'll know I'm not just being a "bad guy" here...ok?

Thanks. I really appreciate y'all and to those who contacted me privately - I really wasn't trying to be rude. However, I try to live by the rule of "If you can't say something nice...don't say anything at all..." and I just don't feel comfortable giving out names.

I also want to add that if JR or Sammi read this and want to pull this thread once they've read my comments - they are free to do it. I will not be offended if this thread gets pulled - in fact, I will probably feel relieved.

I would have automatically assumed JR... and if I sent him a message that wasn't something he could deal with, I'm sure he would have forwarded it to the person who could.

I already know who you are talking about since I follow you and you've commented on numerous of there reviews already, asking them if they even own the products..

I'm sure things like this happen, but it really would be hard to tell if a person does own the product or not. That's one thing that's good about adding pictures of the product!
