Yesterday I noticed a comment by Mistah_Fetti_Morbuxxx on a review for Peaches of Atlanta. He stated that it was plagiarized from yelp and posted the source. He knew it was plagiarized because he wrote the original.

So I decided to check out the reviewer. He only had 3 review and one was for Follies. I discovered that his Follies review was plagiarized too and put a comment on the review.

We have both sent messages to Founder and I'm sure the guy will get deleted.

For those of you that don't know, if you suspect a review might be plagiarized you can check it out by copy and pasting a few lines of the review in the Google search box and see what comes up.

How hard is it to write your own review?

I bet this happens more than is suspected.

Hopefully he is banned quickly.

I'd be a little easier on the guy who plagiarized his own review. Delete the review and warn him that it's not allowed to post content from another site even if it's his content.

I saw one about a month ago where a guy posted the same review on two sites. Not sure I have a problem with that.

Booma (and his reviews) is deleted.
