Beware: Morristown Indoor Golf Club
I wanted to share my experience with the Morristown Indoor Golf Club to save anyone else a headache.
Last month, I got a random Instagram DM from Morristown IGC- which I assumed was either spam or accidentally sent to me- stating, "Please delete your fake google review so we can avoid sending a demand letter from our attorney. Thanks." I hadn't even heard of this place, let alone been to it. Nevertheless, I double-checked that I did not in fact write a fake review while sleepwalking or drunk. I ignored the message.
Next thing I know, I am getting calls on my work phone, transferred from our main office. The name on called ID is Morristown IGC- so I decline. They continue to call from multiple numbers, demanding to speak to my supervisor. After the first call, I see they sent another DM saying, "OK, demand letter to your work it is I guess."
Then they called from a private number, and I picked up since I had no idea if it was a legitimate client or not. It was the owner/proprietor of IGC, demanding I take down my review. Once I very impolitely told him that he had the wrong person, he hung up without an apology.
Then I finally found the "fake review" that I supposedly wrote. It was a 1-star with no explanation from someone who has the same first name and last initial as me (e.g. John S.). That's all. That was their "proof" and justification to harass me at work. Thankfully, my workplace was very understanding and helpful in this, but that is not always the case.
As the cherry on top, after looking up the owner's name, I found multiple articles about him getting banned from his own daughters' middle school because he was handing out anti-trans flyers and harassing faculty. Take your business elsewhere!
TLDR: Owner of indoor golf club falsely accused me of writing a fake review and harassed me at work.
