I am a small business owner. Everyday for the past three days, there have been two five-star reviews posted on my business 2 minutes apart from each other. Each profile has a fake photo and exactly one review. At first I thought these were reviews meant to be written for a different company, but all of them use my name in them. Can anyone recommend the best course of action so that my page does not get hurt in Yelp rank?

You have to pay YELP to get them removed.

How? Can't I just email them and tell them someone is writing fake reviews? They are five star, not one star

Why would someone fake a good review?

Beats me. Maybe they are trying to make it look like I'm buying fake reviews and getting me branded as a review buyer with Yelp.
Where can I buy such fake reviews?

You sound like that crazy cupcake bakery chick who swore there were fake reviews, when in reality it was shitty service. Enjoy bribery

You aren't listening. If it were poor service, they wouldn't be Five-Star reviews, they would be One-Star...

Jobs4bitcoin subreddit usually has some faggots willing to review.
I always write 5 star reviews when i hate a business, it's the ultimate way to get revenge
Stupid customers will think it's a good place, ha!

OP, you are being false flagged. I used to do this to take down adsense competitors—pay thousands of Pajeets to click their ads, resulting in them being banned. If they get reinstated somehow I just do it again. Used to cost about $100 to get someone permanently banned from adsense. I assume they're doing the same thing with Yelp.
The best you can do is preemptively complain to Yelp support.
