1st-art-gallery 1st-art-gallery.com Don’t Believe the Hype; Fake Reviews on TrustPilot Tel Aviv Internet
Last year I started working at 1st-art-gallery as the Online Marketing Manager in Tel Aviv. The pay was low and often late but I desperately needed a job. However, I left a few months later as I was appalled about what I was told do as it conflicted with the values of truthfulness, honesty and integrity that my parents taught me. My loathsome boss was the owner, David, a rude and obnoxious person whose values are mendacity, deceit and deception. 1st-art-gallery is not located in NYC nor London neither Panama as written on their website but in David’s home, located in the West Bank settlement of Kfar Adumim, in the Palestinian Occupied Territories as he is a member of the ultranationalist Jewish Home Party. The paintings are made in a sweatshop in Xiamen, China owned by the PLA, nobody at 1st-art-gallery ever sees them in real. David instructed to me to write positive fake reviews about 1st-art-gallery paintings on Trustpilot as most customers complained about poor quality rather than gave praise. He taught me how to use a proxy server to fool Trustpilot into thinking that the reviews were coming from the USA rather than Israel. He told me to complain to Trustpilot that the many real negative reviews that 1st-art-gallery received were in fact posted by competitors and tell Trustpilot to remove them. I think that this is deceiving customers and that’s why I left. Don’t be fooled by 1st-art-gallery fake reviews on Trustpilot.

Like hellloooooooooo, it’s me Hymie your old employee. You really don’t need a lawyer to find me as you know my address already – I live just down the road from you in Tel Aviv! You remember, right? You employed me to write all those fake UNVERIFIED reviews on Trustpilot so that 1st-art-gallery got a 9.8 score but I told you that they were too gushingly over-the-top and that nobody would believe them but you answered me to go ahead anyway as in your opinion American customers were really gullible and stupid. Why are you now calling yourself Mike Mitchell(e) and saying that you are in the US? You live in Kfar Adumim, Isreal. And what’s all this nonsense about me being a ‘Chinese Competitor’? I’m a fellow Israeli just like you, China is where you buy the cheap paintings that 1st-art-gallery sells. Why have you posted a picture of a dog on your reply to me? Have you bought a new dog to keep you company because you don’t have any human friends? Have you gone completely schizo gaga? Look David, I spoke to the Rabbi about your deteriorating mentally deranged condition and he asked if you could stop by the local Synagogue this week so that he can counsel you. He thinks that you have strayed far from the path of righteous truth into the barren desert of lies, deceit and deception and I’m afraid I have to agree with him. Please seek his help soon and stop being such a momser.

P.S. I know our native language is Hebrew rather than English but rather than criticising others, you should have paid more attention to English grammar lessons in school as its 'a ten-year-old' not ‘and the grammar of a ten years old.’

Attached to this rebuttal an image proving without doubt that all the reviews about our company are fake and were left by the same person, a Chinese competitor.

Ripoffreport.com allows any person to post on their website, without verifying their claims.
Unfortunately one of our Chinese competitors is a mentally disturbed individual, who for many years has been trying without success to damage the reputation of our company.
It is easy to see that all the posts pertaining to our company were written by the same individual, all exhibiting the same childish language, ridiculous over the top claims, and the grammar of a ten years old.
His nonsense ranges from the company being owned by the Chinese Military, to stories of product recalls and toxicity, and posting fake reviews as if he was a real customer.
We have recently retained the services of an attorney in order to locate and prosecute this person but until then, please review the images attached to this response, showing that the images that this person is adding to his "complains" are fake images that can be found in numerous sources online.
