Re: MagicJack spam campaign?

Very interesting discovery. What kind of trouble did Belkin get in for doing it? In my opinion it's rather sneaky but not really illegal.

I only recall there was a story about Belkin on DSLR/BBR. In the past 3-4 months. If I recall correctly it involved employees disclosing that this was an internal practice for employees to leave favorable customer reviews. I don't recall what trouble they got in (if it was official trouble, or just negative press).

I agree that it looks bad. I'm sympathetic to a startup with no advertising budget who has to get its name out there. Joining forums and saying "hey, I just saw this product and it's great." But, robotic user comments in response to stories is different.

In fairness, MJ generates a lot of "true believers" who act like it's a religion. It could have been one of them who spammed the user comments. But, Dan's other behaviors (like the "hurry, offer expires tomorrow" every day) make this look like his handywork.
