APA member: YES
Recent past complaints: YES
Examiner gender: F
Client called various examiners for exam prices. Test was needed for a lawsuit.
One examiner, well-known for badmouthing her competitors, got upset when she learned he was already likely to use a lower-price examiner than she was charging.
Client advises that she then tried to make a deal with him that included her instruction for him to immediately make a false Yelp negative complaint about services performed by the lower-price (but far more experienced) examiner-- even though client had never even been to the lower-priced examiner!
Client chose to not use the offensive examiner who asked him to lie to Yelp, saying he was notifying Yelp of her deceitful unprofessional instructions. He also wrote to the offended examiner, offering to be a witness if the unprofessional examiner was to be sued.
Note: Sadly, similar 'make phony Yelp complaints' have been reported about her in the past.
