The interesting thing to me is… that Belkin doesn’t need this kind of activity. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve found that what Belkin products I have are superior by far to ‘house’ brands and certain others. A prime example of this is the fact that I was constantly having troubles with USB on my computer with a pair of low-cost hubs. I finally decided I’d had enough of that grief and purchased a pair of Belkin models that actually stack together in a nice compact package. Wonder of wonders, my USB issues vanished completely!

If Belkin produces this kind of quality, why the heck was this individual having to fake reviews? I’m not saying he didn’t, but I can guarantee that if this turns out to be true, he’s going to be one very sorry employee. With his actions, he’s managed to seriously damage Belkin’s reputation.

From his LinkedIn profile, he’s only been at Belkin for barely a year. If this deplorable story holds up, he will soon to be an ex-Business development employee. Maybe, Monster Cable is hiring? rimshot :)
