Some even look scripted by them, case in point

Example one two

I too thought the same thing when I saw all the sudden proliferation of new posters touting the praises of the two services. But then I thought to myself, hey why not so long as they are legit posts and not made by the same person with multiple accounts. After all it is a good business practice to get customers to promote how they felt about the work that was done. I've even made a statement on how good I felt TerraScapes landscaped our property. If there was any deception going on with multiple profiles, that was up to the Admin to catch it and react. He has the means, we don't!

Along comes your post and although I thought it was a bit aggressive, I did read it, thought about it and checked out the examples you gave. I now see your point for the post since I've noticed the following from the examples. The three posts were made by two alleged posters or should I say profiles. In examining those posts I noted one common denominator that confirmed something was not right. Someone said that they looked similar. Well they were right. One thing I found within all three was one common sentence with the same typing error. That sentence is "Just a all around anything outside company." Everybody see it? To me that indicates that the preparation of the message was made by one person and that the messages were either all made by the same person or they were provided by that same preparer to the posters!

BTW, the landscaper mentioned in those posts was one of the four we contacted for estimates. We got a timely response from the first three, Stellar, McGowan and TerraScapes, all of which have excellent plans and estimates. The fourth never did responded back. Should we be thankful for that?
