Are you still using fake reviews? If so, be aware that this is a punishable offense under the rules of the Dutch Authority for Consumers &amp; Markets (ACM).<\/p>\n<p>Last week, news broke that the ACM is actively monitoring the use of fake reviews. Following several consumer complaints, the ACM recently imposed a fine of \u20ac100,000 on a company found displaying fake reviews on its website.<\/p>\n<p>With 90% of consumers relying on reviews before deciding to become a customer or purchase a product, ensuring that only genuine reviews are published is crucial.
