The short answer
Buying reviews on ItsMediaWorld is illegal: fabricating Google reviews is a deceptive commercial practice (up to EUR 300,000 in fines and 2 years in prison, EUR 750,000 and 5 years online) and a violation of Google's policies. The "non-drop" promise (reviews that never come down) does not hold up against Google's AI detection. OpenAvis collects real reviews legally, starting at €29/month.
ItsMediaWorld is an English-language service that sells 5-star Google reviews at very low, volume-based prices, marketed as "non-drop" (supposedly never removed) and without the listing password. It also offers negative reviews. These promises are deceptive: Google regularly removes such reviews and penalizes the listings. OpenAvis chooses the legal path: collecting real reviews, with no fabrication whatsoever.

ItsMediaWorld's low prices and "non-drop" promise are two classic red flags: the cheaper a fake review is, the more likely it comes from offshore accounts that Google detects easily; and no provider can guarantee that a fake review won't be removed. Many buyers watch their reviews vanish, when it isn't their entire listing that gets penalized. "Cheap" quickly turns very expensive.
ItsMediaWorld advertises very low prices, with volume discounts. But a review bought for a few dollars and removed by Google is money lost, and detected fraud can cost you your listing. OpenAvis costs €29/month (with a free plan to get started) for real reviews that stay online and genuinely improve your rating.
