AISO contractors posting fake hosting reviews
Companies & their employees just don't seem to learn. After our exposé on fake hosting reviews from ipowerweb, surpass hosting and a number of others - you would think companies would take the hint and avoid posting fraudulent reviews to Hostjury.
Sadly, they don't take notice and continue to post feverishly. Today we had the opportunity to catch an employee a contractor of AISO (Affordable Internet Services Online) posting a review of their services. Directly from their own network, he even went as far as giving them a less than perfect score to make it seem a bit more legitimate.
After mentioning AISO in an article about green web hosting companies I assumed they took notice of the traffic & decided to get a few folks to post reviews. It's depressing to say the least as something like this won't go unnoticed.
A company that seemingly has such great care for the environment would willingly attempt to defraud potential clients & lie to them in order to get a sign-up or two.
Here's an image of the fake review that an AISO contractor posted:
AFFORDABLE INTERNET SERVICES ONL AFFORDAB52-192 (NET-12-198-192-0-1)
12.198.192.0 - 12.198.195.255
This industry is depressing. The length at which hosting providers seem to go to -- to defraud, scam and lie to potential clients is disgusting.
Just so we're clear, as it states on the add review form:
So Timothy, which part of the warning did you not understand when posting a review:
"We do not accept reviews from hosts, employees, families of employees, contractors or anybody else associated with a host - if you're connected with a host in any way you should not under any circumstances be posting reviews."
Also another note, i put im an employee, i ment a contractor, I do programming for them as they need and have my home computer in their virutal desktop solution.
Also, the virutal desktop i'm running at my home means my acutal computer and its IP address is part of AISO, so when im browsing the internet and doing stuff on my computer at home, the actual OS and what not is in AISO's data center. As you can see from the virtual desktop solutions they offer. Also I was a client before an employee, so my experences are from a client view.
Just to let you know....I am a customer, then an employee...my site is heapsoftware.com and Im hosting with them, then started working for them....so JUST because I posted a comment about them its from my perspective as a client with my personal web site, because I do have hosting with them, my own web site, which I started before they were big...then I moved over to them as you can see by my domain registration details. I do programming for them. As you can see on their careers page....they have virtual desktops (http://www.aiso.net/virtual-desktop-solutions.asp), which means my computer I use at home runs from their network, but not make false claims until you have the info...like emailing me and asking first.
