DId you notice that all the bad things said about bigshoebazaar are evenly spaced but the good things said about mouthshut are mostly said on 30th July , 6 th January and 16th January .
And the reviews on all these dates are written within the space of 2 hrs . So , what do you think is the possibility of same guy writing the review to make his website look good or do u think it is just a co incidence that people wanted to write good things about the website on the same day and same time .Do write in your comments and let me know your thoughts .
Even though I am suspicious too , I have nothing against the site and I think it is wonderfully done by some talented people , however I am not sure abt the genuineness of the reviews posted
