Carphone Warehouse Fans - Astroturf?

My blog has been found by a coven of Carphone Warehouse fans, it seems. Three new comments in seven minutes on an old post. Crikey. And all of them about how wonderful the company is. You may recall I had a bit of a run-in with the company a month or so ago. But everything was apparently cleared up.

Let’s see. Ah. None of them leave web addresses. All of them have hotmail addresses, ones which keep them anonymous.

Yet… all of them have the same IP address. How bizarre! Three people, same IP address within seven minutes!

So that new law about Unfair Promotional Practices… how does it go again?
