    There is (was?) an official Quidco rep on MSE, you would have thought that they may have appeared to deny these claims.
    Still, its a shoddy practice and just shows how untrustworthy Quidco are.

    I heard something on the radio yesterday about a government body or consumer association who were starting to look into companies who post false reviews or only post glowing reviews.

    I just heard a "coming up later" about it on Radio 2 so there maybe something in the papers about the overall investigation into the market of manipulating reviews

    This must have been what I heard on the radio.
