Wondering why people continue falling the victims of convicted fraudsters? Thanks to reputation management firms working hard to scrub the nasty past of criminals from the internet and helping them continue their business with unprecedented aggression.
Cyber-savvy reputation managers can make google search results disappear, cover-up fraud history, past convictions, bad media articles, and other image-killing content for the right price.
Cyber reputation management is a strategy fraudsters use to ensure positive content appear at the top of search results when people Google for information about them. Searching for Ian Leaf on Google will return Ian Leaf persona that claims to be an expert in tax fraud prevention. These fake Ian Leaf and Ian Andrews personas also have self-published books on Amazon to prop their credibility and manipulated search results.
