Justdial.com has gained popularity over the years thanks to popular celebrities like Amitabh Bacchan associating with them, giving them the credibility they do not deserve.
Last year, I had availed of their services and chose a vendor based on their high ratings and good'reviews', only to discover that such ratings and reviews are all cooked-up and Justdial.com and its clients are hand-in-glove for a mutually beneficial tie-up. So, while their clients opt for their paid services, justdial.com removes negative feedback and reviews against their dishonest vendors/clients from the site. No wonder 99% of the'reviews' are just one line long, mentioning the partially hidden email ID and mobile no of the supposed customers. After I availed of the services of one of their clients with high ratings, I had posted my strong -ve feedback, only to find it removed promptly perhaps after being intimated / pressured by their client.
So, my advise to people is NOT to trust the ratings or reviews on Justdial.com but do your one due dilligence and find out through word of mouth(if possible) on genuineness of their clients' service levels. I wish celebrities like Amitabh Bacchan didn't vouch for such cheaters and unethical businesses by promoting them. But then, such celebrities would do anything if the price is right.
