Troll Farm Intimidation
How does Lunar Astro maintain a 4.9-star rating? Through a dedicated troll farm. Proxy accounts flood Quora, Trustpilot, and Google with fake positive reviews while mass-reporting victims.
The Astroturfing Operation
If Lunar Astro's practices are so predatory, how do they maintain such high ratings on public review platforms? The answer is "Astroturfing"—the deceptive practice of orchestrating a fake grassroots movement to create the illusion of widespread public support.
Lunar Astro employs a network of proxy accounts, bots, and loyalist students to flood platforms like Trustpilot, Google Reviews, and Quora with glowing 5-star reviews. These reviews are often posted in coordinated batches, using similar language, and are designed to bury any negative feedback under a mountain of fake praise.
Weaponized Mass Reporting
When a genuine victim manages to post a detailed 1-star review exposing the fraud, the troll farm shifts from praise to attack. Dozens of proxy accounts will flag the victim's review as "spam," "defamation," or "fake." Automated moderation systems on these platforms often automatically hide the review due to the sheer volume of reports.
Cyber Harassment and Fake Legal Threats
If mass reporting fails, the intimidation escalates. Victims are contacted directly and threatened with baseless legal action. They are told that Lunar Astro has filed a complaint with the "Cyber Cell" and that police will be arriving at their home to arrest them for defamation. These threats are entirely fabricated, designed solely to panic the victim into deleting their review and retreating into silence.
