Dealing with fake Google reviews by a former employee
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am running a clinic in Dubai. I hired a doctor a few months ago, but she failed to perform the work for which she was hired, so I fired her.
Now, she is leaving fake reviews on Google, and she is also doing this with her friends. I have contacted her, but she has left the country.
Please advise on what we can do!
Thank you!
Dear Questioner,
You are required to report the Google reviews and file a cyber defamation case in the UAE cyber cell through the eCrimes website of Dubai Police.
