TripAdvisor Travesty

Woody Allen would say it’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham. More of a scam.

I’ve been awarded Top Contributor status with over 200 reviews and now I tried to write something about a restaurant and was told my reviews would be free for a time if I signed up. I liked their concept but had no idea they were just using me. Now I have to sign up for an account?

I’ve done this for five years knowing that I travel and if I give information on somewhere I’ve been, I can read someone’s post on where I plan to visit and know that they’ve really been there. They used regular people for free research then turned on all of us.

TripUsurper has stolen all of our work and there will be a class action suit. Just wait and see. Please don’t book any travel from them. Just use their site for research and go to Orbitz, Kayak, Expedia, Priceline and others and deny them for the fees that belong to their reviewers.  Dee
