#HelpNeeded: 🚨 Can a car dealership really doxx a customer for leaving a bad review?!
So, picture this – I left a one-star review for the car dealership I got my ride from, and next thing you know, they not only called my review fake but also decided to drop my full address online. Now, I’m getting messages from strangers saying they’re coming to see me. Is this real life or what?! 😱
I talked to the cops but they can’t do much since there was no explicit threat. They said the info the dealership posted was publicly available (thanks, Facebook). But I’m shook and not sure what to do next. Any advice, my NYC fam?
Let’s chat, share your thoughts, and help me tackle this mess. 😬💬 #CarDealershipDrama #BadReviewBlues #DoxxingDisaster
Contact the local police and get a legal consultation. Using threats of violence or harassment to make someone do something could be considered blackmail. Granted they may try to spin it off as “we meant we wanted to visit them to address their concerns”. Â
Is this a franchise? I would report this to corporate.
Also: screen shot everything.
Get a lawyer and sue for invasion of privacy. Furthermore widely publicize the lawsuit in hopes that people will think twice from doing business with them.
If you financed the car through the dealer or they arranged financing for you they are obligated to follow the [FTC Privacy Rule](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-privacy-rule-auto-dealers-faqs). Report them to the FTC and they can be fined up to $50,000.
If they said your review is fake then how do they have your address? I mean I am not helping you with your issue but wouldn’t them posting your address make people realize that it’s not a fake review?
Get a lawyer and issue a takedown notice to the dealership and the review site.
lol I just read this on Facebook … so was your review fake or nah? Was it Jeff L?
I would have sent him a picture of my guns and said come on over I’ll be here waiting for you.
Can’t you flag the business page to Google for harassment or something similar.
Google doesn’t fuck around and taking down there business page would definitely get their attention to think twice as well as potentially getting your information removed from them I would think?
Drop the name so we can review bomb? 👀
