Anonymous Belkin Employees Reveal Belkin's True Face
Posted by Regeneration on January 26th, 2009, 03:14 PM

Two of anonymous Belkin employees have come back with replies to the statement released by Belkin's president Mark Reynoso about faked product reviews. Belkin has supposedly paid for positive reviews, gave products with custom firmware to reviewers in order to hide bugs, faked hardware certification logos, wrote poor reviews of competitor's products and backed out of CES for lack of funding as inferred from the employees post.

An anonymous person claiming to be a former Belkin employee has commented in response to the statement released by Belkin's president Mark Reynoso about faked product reviews. Below is the published comment:

"Having worked for Belkin for 10 years and this is only the tip of the ice berg, I used to do worse than this to gain market share and inside information on the competition. Belkin WAS the hands down leader in the market and was the greatest place to work. I can remember walking through CES, Comdex, MacWorld, or any retailers corporate office and watching my competition gasp in awe when Belkin was in the house."

Someone is Belkin has really pissed off the press or something to get all this heat. Do you really think Belkin is the only company to so such things? Everyone is doing it and still get away with that. Every day I am coming across biased/paid reviews either on Amazon or review sites. I see reviewers give high scores to shitty games like Red Alert 3 and more.

That's exactly what I told a friend who was basing his purchasing decisions on newegg reviews.

I don't trust reviews because of this crap. It has been known for years that companies like Belkin, Nvidia and others have been giving their own products thumbs up and their competitors thumbs down.
