Yes. Here is an example of the evil after I posted a negative review:

> Thanks for your review on Trustpilot. > >Based on your review, Curve would like a little more information about your experience. This will help them write a more useful >reply to you. It'll also help them verify that you’ve had a genuine experience with their business.

>Of course, it’s totally up to you what you share.

"verify" vs. "totally up to me" are different things.

This is important to validate the review was left by a genuine customer. You can indeed share as much (or as little) information as you want, but they'll have to decided on the balance of probabilities if you had a real interaction with the company you're reviewing. We receive many reviews and often fake negative reviews, so this helps to provide at least a level of protection against such attacks.

Do they verify fake positive reviews, or just the fake negatives?
