Curiosity, really. I emailed the provider to let her know. It's probably best if she deals with the admins regarding her account.
I just went to re-read a review I wrote last week, and this was the new title of the provider's page: Jane Doe (PAID FOR FAKE REVIEWS)'s Profile. All of her reviews are gone.
Is this something someone could do by logging into Jane Doe's account, or would the person need to drill down further than that to make these changes?
Reviews that were fake?? I don't know. Very strange. I'm sure you contacted admin and asked.
She just tried to log in and got a banned message.
She doesn't need to get fake reviews or pay for reviews.
Weird.
only TER admin would know for sure. Since you are one of her legit reviewers, I think you have a right to ask about it.

It's nice that they added some info to the "providers with something to hide" section.
Search on "Providers with something to hide" with no specific criteria and you'll see several of these. This particular label seems to have started only this year. And there's other labels explaining why the provider has something to hide. Interesting! Thanks for bringing it to our attention
In addition, it would be nice if reasons other than "paid for fake reviews" were mentioned. Ciao!
She said that the TER admin didn't give her any information, other than saying that she was banned. I'd be willing to bet money she didn't have paid reviews, and there was someone using her account or TER just made a mistake.
She doesn't need fake reviews, and she doesn't want a lot of reviews. She's wanted to keep the number low so customers don't think she's high volume.
We gave her a very long explanation and much more information that she really deserves, even after she threatened to communicate with us through the lawyers. She seems to be very manipulative, which only proves our point. Also please bear in mind we are the reviews site, so unless we had the evidence and were sure, we would not get rid of the reviews that build our website. But to make sure our community is fairly informed - we do not tolerate false reviews. Even if they are accompanied by many real reviews - like yours - still she had the fake ones as well.
I'm posting under an alias because I don't want to out her, because I don't know what's really going on.
However, I will PM you using my TER handle and give you her name. If I see her name posted here or elsewhere related to this issue, that will be a problem.
