Yelp is releasing new round of consumer alerts

[Ajay Prasad]

Consumer alerts from Yelp, you know, is one of the most crucial programs run by Yelp to protect consumers from getting tricked by businesses. It has announced that it will be releasing new consumer alerts in association with 37 new business listings. It has also mentioned that the changes will be in effect for 90 days.

Thanks Ajay.

It looks like that post was from over 3 years ago though. Did you by chance link to the wrong post?

Here is a new post and maybe the one Ajay meant to link to.

Interesting how they call out and link to the Atty and others right in the post.

Wow, thanks Ajay and Linda. Agreed. I understand the need for and value of the consumer alerts program, but the public shaming in that blog post is a little obnoxious IMHO. "We caught them in the act!"

Thanks, Yelp, for being such a thoughtful and even-handed instrument of justice. [/sarcasm]

Ooops! I think, I might have added the wrong post there.

Thanks, Linda! That is exactly the link I was going to put here but mistakenly quoted the wrong one.
