Could you substantiate that claim? I did a few Google searches, and I find your remarks to be, well... just wrong.

As far as I can tell, there was a class action lawsuit against Yelp, which was dismissed, and a couple of other lawsuits from single business owners. I would imagine that any company the size of Yelp is going to get sued a few times, and I imagine a lot, if not all of those, are just bad small businesses.

Are you just scurrilously slinging mud, based on a single headline you read sometime in the past?

I find Yelp to be quite useful, and the people who I have met that worked there were good, hard-working souls.

Ask any tech-inclined person in NYC and they will freely tell you that Yelp are scumbags
