I will first start off by saying that I’m new to all of this and this is my first post here in the forums. Here is my concern: 

It has just came to my attention that after looking through the reviews of a freelancer providing a marketing gig that would help me promote and create a conversion funnel to help drive sales for my website, There seems to be many duplicate 5.0 reviews from almost 90.%+ accounts that review said freelancer. And from the same time as well. I then looked at the reviews of another freelancer and have found some of the exact same accounts reviewing multiple times over 5.0 reviews. This is concerning to me and really starts to disrupt my confidence in said freelancers and these many duplicate reviews do not appear to be authentic and more likely as they appear to me possibly paid and potentially bought reviews. Am I wrong? please let me know because I’d much rather be wrong as this could help restore my confidence or is this a legitimate concern of mine? What could I do and/or should I do? Recommendations of similar freelancers appreciated.
