1stMobile.UK review for Trustpilot Reviews
Feb. 15, 2022
The fact that they only score 2.4 says everything about them. Customer using Trustpilot as a site to review other businesses should be aware of what they're really like. To begin with your business is placed on there inviting reviews whether you like it or not, which in itself is a disgrace - transactions are private between ourselves and our customers unless WE say so, not some random company that's only in it for profit at your expense and the reputation of your business at risk. We had one review claiming we were scammers, simply becuase the customer's order got lost in the mail (we did subsequently refund him). That's clear defamation of character and a libellous remark, but when we asked for help they didn't want to know. We had another which was clearly either from a competitor or had been left in error as it mentioned a member of staff we'd never heard of and a product we'd never sold, yet again Trustpilot refused to remove it. It's absolutely shocking when you have worked hard to build your reputation. On other occasions I've reviewed other businesses and had my reviews rejected because Trustpilot said they were fake. So their system clearly doesn't work and their so called back up support is non-existent, just as others have said. However you want to use your reviews to improve your business, trust Trustpilot at your peril. If anybody needs to be shut down they do.
Hi 1st Mobile, Consumers decide who is reviewed on Trustpilot and we are a platform that hosts the content. A business profile page is automatically created when someone searches for the business's web address on our platform or it can be added from the search results page. Consumers can then start posting reviews about their recent experience with the business. Business profiles are not deleted because consumers put your business on Trustpilot. As you may know from using our platform both as a business and a reviewer - reviews, if flagged by a business, are temporarily removed while we wait for consumers to provide proof of their experience. Reviews are reinstated to the platform once that proof has been provided. Reviews are also removed if they breach our guidelines - this can be anything from, the use of offensive language, sharing of personal information, promotional content, or a user having multiple accounts linked to them. Thanks Trustpilot Team
