In title 18 US code chapter 47 fraud is interpreted as ‘Whoever engages in any conduct with intent to convey false or misleading information’.
the truth about online shopping
We are all equal in the eyes of scammers. Not one of us can raise our hand and complain we are not included in the game of the deceiver. No one, either long, short, or tall can look into the eye of the liar and say with confidence, I do not know you. Sometime in our lives we have been burnt, and although some have larger scars than others, we are all victims, nevertheless.
We at fakesoff.com can no longer stand idly by and watch the biggest and most convenient consumer platform in history rot from the outside in. It will take more than us, it will take many, many more to defeat the faceless enemy. Today, throughout the worldwide web there are people and consumer groups making a difference. We support the right of genuine individuals or companies to express their negative or positive view in a free and fair manner. We believe that companies who receive negative reviews and engage with their customers can grow stronger. However, a company that continues to be bombarded by fake negative reviews, can quickly decline. Businesses that were put together by hard work, honesty, and determination, can have their well-deserved reputation smeared with lies. The world of competition can be conducted by fair means or foul. Unfortunately, backstabbing and below the belt tactics are replacing the noble rules of competition.
