Beware of rogue bloggers harrassing and manipulating corporates for business

The new con game in town is not pata potea. Some bloggers are known to have a bad reputation by holding corporates at a hostage situation. Renowned bloggers claiming to be corporate fraud investigators have been caught up on the record trying to solicit for bribes and be quiet. Real whistle blowers keep on saying the truth as it is, they don’t deviate from it with insults hurled to corporates or senior management.

We are slowly drowning to accepting social media harassment as a necessary evil which should not be allowed, bloggers and social media influencers ought to ask themselves if what they are pushing is morally and legally acceptable. Bloggers have also been known to have ulterior motives while defaming brands online with the end game of ‘winning’ business. Real online whistleblowers do document their findings carefully to support their conclusions. It’s not advisable to use hearsay or leaked files for your files.
