We just received some interesting news from Dave in the comments section. Thanks Dave! Of course we would like to elaborate a little on what’s going on with Aware Bear Computers but first, here’s what Dave had to say:

Amusingly, Aware Bear has claimed their Google Places listing and reported their name as “HP Computer Repair and Service Rochester NY”, rather than the actual business name. Now not only are they in the business of copyright infringement, they apparently have decided to try their hand at Trademark violation too! They don’t appear in a search of HP’s authorized service providers database. Check it out at THIS LINK HERE.

Looks like yet another attempt to manufacture credibility where there is none. I love to see small, local businesses succeed – especially in the crowded and competitive IT sector – but when companies do these kinds of dishonest things, they lose my support.

If you follow the link provided above you will immediately notice one of the reviews saying;

Aware Bear is NOT a “certified” HP service center and their techs are NOT “factory trained”. You won’t find them in HP’s authorized provider database, but you will find a lot of very unhappy customers if you do a quick Google search. Let the buyer beware!‎

Feel free to check it out yourself and you will find that it is absolutely correct. Once again Aware Bear and Andre Leite Alves are playing the “big pretender” game. But that’s not the only thing that is really interesting about the link because, also ONCE AGAIN, Andre Leite Alves has exposed himself as writing his own reviews. Pay close attention to the reviews and you will notice that they all make the same grammar mistakes that Andre Leite Alves himself is known for (not being a native speaker of the English language). Did all these people study at the same place and learned to all make the same mistakes?

Another thing you will notice is that a lot of the reviewers have ONLY posted reviews of Aware Bear and nothing else. Funnier than that, though, is that “Kim S”, one of the review posters, both reviews Aware Bear for its so called computer repair activities as well as their wedding photography activities. Both reviews are dated December 6th. If you read them you will notice that “Kim S” not only got married a few days before it and alleges that Andre Leite Alves did their wedding photography, she also had her computer fixed by Aware Bear at the same time. Right, if you believe that blatant fraud I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

And why do all these people that post reviews all use the slogan that Andre Leite Alves have always wanted to coin for Aware Bear Computer Repair? All those people using the same words in the same sentence? How telling, Andre!

And just like Andre likes to name his alleged employees, many of the reviews are posted under names like “Tony V” and “Tommy D”. Then again, as we have already shown on this site, Andre is really into abbreviating surnames by just a single letter. Maybe he’s addicted to doing that and forgets he leaves trails as tick as BP’s oil slick to follow.

And if that’s not enough, Andre Leite Alves and his Aware Bear photoshop tricks are once again evident if you check out THIS LINK where he PRETENDS to be a “Certified Dell Repair Services Rochester NY Aware Bear”. Guess what, Aware bear is NOT a certified DELL repair center and they aren’t certified by DELL for anything. And the picture on that page? Yes, you guessed it, another crappy photoshop job by Aware Bear, PRETENDING to be more than they truly are.

You’ll also have to love the very short review posted by “Juliana”. If you check this site in detail you will not require a lot of attention to discover that to be Juliana Camy, related to Andre Leite Alves.

It’s difficult not to roll around on the floor laughing when looking at the latest feeble attempts by Andre Leite Alves to bombard search engines with a lot of gibberish in the (idle) hope of getting rid of many of the negative and critical exposure of Aware Bear Computer Repair.

The most recent attempts include Andre trying to frantically and fanatically putting out a lot of unreadable gibberish on a blog hosted at BLOG i360, using an old domain he’s got for AA computers USA (go ahead, you can find it if you try). This host claims that “By automating traffic-generating functions, making site content management 6th grade simple, and integrating pushbutton easy online persuasion tools — now you can finally have a web site that works hard FOR you; giving you more time, more money and more of the freedom every business owner wants”. You have to wonder just how well this works for Aware Bear Computers because certainly it doesn’t seem to, and won’t. Not now, not ever. But I guess Andre may have different ideas about that. Or, at the very least, high hopes. You’ve got to love the way Andre also uses BOLD and ITALICS to emphasize things to search engines.

Please feel free to look at the unconventional and funny way that Andre elected to use tags for his computer repair ‘business’ in Rochester. Also notice how Andre attempts to add new names into the mix to make the ‘business’ look like it has actual employees (something that clearly isn’t the case unless you consider passing the phone along and trying to fool people is the same thing as having staff). Adding names like Mike James, Mike A, Matt P, etc.

No, those aren’t abbreviated to protect the hapless, these are the names as added to what Andre passes off as “articles”. Single letter abbreviated names, just like the media has standardized on when mentioning suspects and potential criminals in newspaper articles and on TV. That sure makes Aware Bear Computers look a lot better. Or perhaps Andre is being more honest about the alleged criminality that the abbreviated surnames imply.

One has to wonder when Andre Alves is going to finally realize that there is really nothing he can do about all this. Especially when trying to do so with a total lack of understanding, insight, and knowledge on how search engine optimization really works. Of course, when he finally can figure it out, it’ll be in vain yet again because there’s always someone more skilled that will undo any ranking gained from Aware Bear’s spam blogging.

Instead, let’s look forward to the next series of attempts. After all, while it may not serve any of the intended purposes that Andre “Aware Bear” Alves passionately hopes and begs for, it sure serves the purpose of frequent laughter  (at the expense of Andre, but that’s by his choice).

Anyone who can stand to read through even a single “blog post” written by Andre Leite Alves would probably tell him to not give up his day job because writing is certainly not an ability. Of course, many others would argue that Andre should give up his “day job” because there are already too many dissatisfied, disgruntled, and conned former customers of Aware Bear Computer Repair. You can stay away from Aware Bear Computers at 5 Monroe Ave in Pittsford NY (585) 473-7035.
