[wp-pro] Fwd: Warning regarding: KANERIYA(HUTU) HITESH (kaneriya.hitesh at gmail.com)

[Jack Armstrong]

I've never held much stock in online 'reviews' - since so many of them
(yelp, amazon, ebay, etc., etc.) are vulnerable to unethical competitors,
scam artists, or just plain jerks.  I've read reviews of products and places
I know very well - but if I didn't, I'd never recognize them in some of the
off the wall review comments. In at least one case, I saw a highly negative
report on a store and it's owner (who I know quite well) -- placed by a
former employee who had been fired for theft... Anyone else reading that
review would give the store a wide berth...

On the other hand, I do trust references from satisfied customers,
especially if I can look them up independently. Before I'd spend any
substantial funds with any contractor I'd try to contact a previous customer
or two. When I bid on work, I offer names of some of my previous clients who
I have worked for, and anyone can look at websites and drop the owner a note
with any available 'contact us' form.
