About you?
Click here now..

I contacted Yelp.com to find out why I had 4 good reviews from verifiable customers that were filtered out and the only one bad review offered to the public. I was told that if I signed up for a paid account, then they could "help" me to modify the review results to my satisfaction. This is the most blatant type of extortion i have ever been subjected to.

yelp.com Yelp Sucks! Rip-OFF scum-bags! Their yelp site instructions are Horrible, They tell you to upgrade for $75.00 a month instead without any promotions or explanations of how their systems work. It a slideshow for yourself. LMAO, your customers see nothing! then when you cancel after you been screwed not refund your $75.00! Ownership are scum bags! I would give this company a zero star and will let everyone know what a Rip-off they are! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH YELP AND IF YOU DO I WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WSITH YOU! San Francisco Califorina
