There are several ways in which people can post fake reviews on Google:
Creating fake accounts: People can create fake Google accounts using false information and then use these accounts to post fake reviews.
Hiring people to post fake reviews: Some businesses or individuals may pay people to post fake positive reviews about their business or product.
Using review exchange groups: Some online groups exist where people agree to exchange reviews with one another, regardless of whether they have actually used the product or service in question.
Posting reviews from the same IP address: Google can detect if multiple reviews come from the same IP address, so some people use proxies or VPNs to make it appear as though their fake reviews are coming from different locations.
It is important to note that posting fake reviews violates Google's policies, and Google may take action against accounts that engage in this behavior, such as removing the reviews or suspending the account.
