This entity has fabricated a number of persons on the professional networking site Linkedin to promote its project management templates and then had these entities post ads on Linkedin day after day. The entities have stock photos and either claim to work for companies that don't exist or real companies that don't have a presence where they claim to work for them.

I first became aware of PM Milestones by the LinkedIn posts from fake pages that another person has already mentioned on this page. After seeing these templates flood LinkedIn groups for months on end I have had enough and decided to investigate today.
The testimonials on their website seem fabricated (after searching for each profile I came up with nothing).
There are review pages for PM Milestone that have been created by authors that are actively advertising the product and the very positive reviews below are all written with bad english grammar and nonsensical reviews (leading me to believe that they have been manufactured). You can see two examples of review pages below:
advancedreview.org/pm-milestone-review/
regionvavid.org/pm-milestone-review/
I have never used their product and have never heard of it being used - I can only speak to their sales tactics which are very suspicious and underhanded.

I made the original complaint. I have made no contact with the company in any capacity and have not sought a fee to remove my complaint. I stand by my complaint. I have identified 10 identities on Linkedin who have posted repeated ads for this company. Some have stock photos and others have no photos. They either claim to work for companies that don't exist or real companies of which they are not employees. The post ads for PM Milestones on Linkedin day after day using template posts. These posts are clearly posted by software as the identities are fake. I make no claim about the templates themselves or the company behind it, but using fabricated identities on Linkedin to promote these products is against Linkedin's rules and dishonest.

This complaint is not true and fake because of the following:
- The person who made this complaint contacted me yesterday and told me he would remove this statement if I pay some fee.
- We are a family company and all company members from one family we don't employ anyone from outside because of we still small company, and we don't have any post in Linkedin about job vacancies or similar.
