new service idea: PR friendly facebook accounts. Pay £1 / month to have a 2nd facebook account with auto generated posts that get you discounts on car insurance.
It could also fake fitness bands data, since they are eligible for insurance discounts as well.

if the review is automated you just have to make an account plausible to the machine.
