Epic Fail for Belkin...

...and also for any Belkin customers dumb enough to sell their review integrity for 65 cents.

65 cents and some people would post a positive review for Belkin gear and leave a ding on any negative review? WTF??

Make it 65 bucks Belkin, and we'll talk.

As it is people can probably just about disregard all the amazon.com reviews for Belkin stuff because now you'll have people posting negative reviews just because of this.

Re: Epic Fail for Belkin...

I've never sold my opinion on a product. I own some belkin stuff. the back up power supplies are pretty good not great but good, other than that would I buy another Belkin UPS, You bet. They should have never moved from the power side to the switch side.

Nice sense of appropriateness

So Belkin used Amazon's Mechanical Turk site to find people willing to help them game Amazon?

I hate belkin

I have never been able to get belkin routers to work correctly for a long period of time. Some of their routers which should be wireless G and support WPA or better simply don't and anyone with a 360 and atleast one active internet user at the same time will be complaining about a belkin router. Best routers I've ever used are/were linksys and some dlink like the DI-634m (I use this one) and sometimes had a good encounter with a 624 model too. I don't like those newer linksys models with the antennas hidden they look fake for some reason.

I've never liked belkin and I never recomend them for anything. If you want to torture someone or yourself just try using a belkin usb wireless adapter lol, worst product ever!

Fraud

Wouldn't this go under the category of conspiracy to commit fraud? I really think we need to be sending some of these guy(from companies) to jail.

Belkin issue

Sad, just unbelievably sad. I go way back with Belkin equipment and at one time they were top-notch, excellent customer service, etc, etc. It's really disheartening to hear that a company that once was so good has sunk this low in the eyes of its customers.
