SEO practitioner Gagan Ghotra alleges a UK PR agency — HQ in the British Virgin Islands, staff largely in the Philippines, payments routed to a firm called Review Rumble — runs a network of fake Forbes sites (Forbes Bahrain, Scotland, EU, Denmark, etc.). Citations from these fake outlets are reportedly being used as expertise evidence in O1 visa applications, exposing a loophole in authority-based credentialing.
