Anyone who does some deep searching on the public activities and behavior of Andre Leite Alves and his “company” Aware Bear Computers (that claims to do computer repair, software installations, computer recyling, home theater installations, programming of remote controls, and even wedding photography) will discover that many of the positive reviews that AwareBear gets on their various “yellow pages” type advertisements on the internet are riddled with the same spelling errors and grammar mistakes and often use copied sentences that are word for word identical.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Andre Leite Alves is responsible for posting his own positive reviews, something that over at RocWiki he has already been caught doing in the past. Maybe Andre believes that people he deals with are less intelligent than himself and would therefore fall for this kind of questionable and fraudulent business practice. And what’s with those blogger accounts he created in order to post even more advertisements for his “business” and alternating between Andre Leite Alves and Arthur Leite. I don’t think I’ve seen any such acts of utter desperation before, from anyone.

A very recent discovery was made by Jim and posted to the original blog post that started the many discoveries about Andre Leite Alves. Jim reported that, “They also have images on their site stolen from Alienware and Apple. I started looking into these guys over the summer, checked out their DBA and it was filed in 2006, so to say they’ve been in business for 15 years is ridiculous, they are in their mid 20’s. I posted a negative review on their yahoo local page and they somehow got it removed, and then 2 blatantly fake ones popped up. So I posted another, and they managed to get that removed also.”

In addition to Jim’s findings, it is also clear that misrepresentation is common to anything that involves Andre Leite Alves and Aware Bear because that listing mentioned on the yahoo local pages shows the year that Aware Bear was established to be 1993. That is proven to not be the case at all. Only con-artists, liars, and cheats, would lie about the amount of time a company has been around because that tends to instill  a level of trust and reputation. Well, that reputation is rapidly deteriorating as more and more people in the Rochester community are reporting their discoveries and experiences with this “company”.

Also, John posted a review on the very same page that reads:

“I decided to write this because the first three reviews are clearly fake, after reading an account of Aware Bear’s owner’s copyright infrimgment I decided to do a quick search for “Aware Bear” and found these reviews. While I am unsure of the actual service level of this demi-legitimate company, I do know that Mr. Alves and his company are highly suspicious and have continually acted in a manner undeserving of the reviews that are currently shown.”

Be warned!

Let’s see if that one also gets removed. Time will tell. It now also appears that Mr. Didak has posted his own experience with Aware Bear on the reviews page.

Tip: Read the reviews posted on various Aware Bear Computers or Aware Bear (Wedding) Photography carefully and notice how these “people” all lack an understanding of punctuation. Just like Andre Leite Alves himself. What are the odds of having all your customers that post reviews suffer from the same inabilities? You can stay away from Aware Bear Computers at 5 Monroe Ave in Pittsford NY (585) 473-7035.
