Difficult to say Maybe as all LPEs are fully wired to get their customers to post a rating he maybe drafted one for her and his went in by default .He is a recent subscriber and you have to wonder why he hadn't joined up before
You now have to question why Bricks bother with Trustpilot at all Nobody seems to notice any but the bad ones Time to move on .
Certainly not tempted to slip back in for a punt .Now the Woodford funds are going to the grown ups will they sweat the last shreholdings out or seek to dump?
>All very smelly to me
So what do you think the explanation is?
This guy isn't a new LPE. It would be a very strange thing to do to write his own review.
Cybs This is the excuse given “The customer wrote a review and mistakenly put his name [that of the LPE] as their username."
Well it is hard to believe that customer pauline somehow she managed to post a review under a different user name ? She has had an account for 4 years and the LPE only recently opened his own account on the 10th October!!! You cant enter some other users name on Trustpilot and create a review If that is the case the whole system is flawed All very smelly to me
https://www.purplebricks.co.uk/search-local-expert/stephen-hendriks-1273755 "I’ve worked in sales for 20 years and estate agency for 10. I’ve been a sales negotiator, a sales progressor, a sales valuer, a branch manager and a mortgage adviser. I’m bringing a wealth of knowledge with me to Purplebricks and I will pass on that knowledge along with passion, enthusiasm, dedication and commitment directly to every single one of my customers."
This is the guy who is being maligned on social media. I'd love to see what evidence these people have. Hiding behind anonymity.
Just seen the posts on PIE and I see it's the infamous PeeBee who has been making allegations about this guy's integrity. PeeBee is obsessed with PurpleBricks and spends an inordinate amount of time pointing out when 1 star reviews are flagged up on TrustPilot but doesn't offer an objective view by pointing out the 5 star reviews that are flagged up except when he has decided in his own biased thinking that there is something fishy about the review.
>Competitors posting bad reviews is commonplace but the naive ones who post multiple reviews will get caught through automated detection of cookies
Correction: "will get caught" should have been "can be caught".
>You then have to question if it was an imposter and someone opened up an account with Trustpilot as Stephen Hendricks who wasn't Stephen Hendricks then how do they allow that to happen ?
Very hard to stop this. Not commercially viable for review sites to check identity for online account creation. Even if you require a mobile number you can buy PAYG sim cards for peanuts.
Competitors posting bad reviews is commonplace but the naive ones who post multiple reviews will get caught through automated detection of cookies and ip addresses which could well explain explain "The reviewer has created multiple profiles to review the same company multiple times.".
>Oz total insntructions today just 66 .Why on earth dont they shut the whole thing up?
They have to be careful how they will look.
Well it looks at least Trustpilot are on the case and jumped on it ! The plot thickens !
"
The reviewer has created multiple profiles to review the same company multiple times."
Industrial sabotage !
You then have to question if it was an imposter and someone opened up an account with Trustpilot as Stephen Hendricks who wasn't Stephen Hendricks then how do they allow that to happen ?

Sain,
Proof that TP contact posters of 5 star reviews. Something that might escape your attention if you pay attention to traditional agents who never seem to mention this for some reason. TP of course claiming that more positive reviews are flagged up than negative ones.
If I was to speculate I's say it's more likely to be a competitor trying to damage PB than an extremely dumb LPE giving themselves a positive review. Could be wrong but surely there must be a limit to how stupid Estate Agents can be?
Personally my experience was better with PB than all my dealings with Traditional Agents. I try to be objective but maybe this is colouring my judgement?
Just in case there was any doubt about the integrity of Trustpilot we now have the case of the Bricks LPE gbving himself a positive review!
Stephen Hendricks the LPE for the Black Country
