Belkin Business Development Representative Michael Bayard has been caught offering to pay anyone willing to leave perfect reviews
So the guy simply spread that request and offered money.... I find it hard to believe a representative could be so dumb. There are way more secure ways to get false reviews anyways. He also must have had acces to the company's money without justifying it?

must be blown up in some way


edit: Well, the apology is on their official homepage:

You need to be some kind of special breed of a retard to fall in that scam.
