Leeds burger joint owner calls bad reviewers 'sexual predators' to get their scores deleted

The owner of a Leeds takeaway has been calling one-star Google review users “sexual predators” in review replies so they either remove the review or Google does.

Joe Scholey, 29, who owns The Otley Burger Company, has admitted he is using the Google policy to his “benefit” to remove “fake reviews”. Not only does Joe call reviewers 'predators' publicly, he has also claimed one was “dressed up in full Nazi uniform shouting racist abuse” and another was “making sexual remarks to children”.

He says the libellous loophole works every time.
