ROFL, i don't know what would've been the editor's plight by now. ![[roll]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Roll.gif "Roll Eyes [roll]")
SUV under test caught by a telugu daily. Endevour or Force One
A leading Telugu daily spotted this car and published in their daily it looks like either Endevour or Force One.
The most hilarious part is he writes that anyone keep his car under cover whe parked at home. But these two riders covered their car even on road to prevent daily cleaning.

It seems I made a mistake. Apologies. Re-uploading the image:

Re: Pragmatism by MM - Mahindra’s Social Media Team Putting Fake Comments On MotorBea
Has it been officially investigated from Mahindra's end? There had been instances of Mahindra's marketing team using pics of owner's cars without consent and later on clarifying on the same. here is the proof. Moreover, why did the concerned forum did not take an action at the first instance? Why did they wait for 4 months?
Is it possible 4 different people using same IP? or is it one person using 4 identities? What is the need to promote a product unethically? This kind of thing makes me think that periodically we at TAI should also run a surprise check on the profiles. Though we have been carrying it out on reporting, can we also do surprise check on IP addresses too?

Since initial post by new members is moderated, spam is largely filtered out on our forum before it even appears. But I can confirm that we've too observed such instances by a couple of automakers and offending profiles were dealt appropriately.

@ akash - it will be the same person using different ids. what are the chances that 4 people sat on the same computer and wrote about the same bike :p
anyways just saw the that incident and many more mentioned related to mahindra. not a good way of doing business.

I believe it could be some sort of hacking of IP (if possible) by some people either to promote product or to malign the image of brands.
Sad and uncalled indeed.
@Vibhor, Thanks for the reply. I am relieved!![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

1. Many DIFFERENT people posted reviews using the same modem. This can be the case if the people used their office computers, because even if there are 5 different devices accessing the internet using the same connection, their public IP is one and the same -- the modem's. Most organizations (probably) have static IPs. This MIGHT be possible if some company gifted the employees some Mahindra bikes...
2. Many people were miraculously allotted the same IP address, and all of them owned/reviewed Mahindra bikes. This is not even a possibility unless I win the lottery 10 times in a row. And that's impossible because I don't buy lottery tickets.
3. Different people used the same cyber cafe to post reviews of their bikes. Same as point #1, but more unlikely.
What are the odds of the above?
BUT, there's another possibility. Just like Mr. Akash said, someone, likely a competitor, used the same connection to try and spoil the brand image of Mahindra.
But if you ask me, not many people will give a crap. Did anyone when Maruti failed the crash tests? Did anyone when Volkswagen failed the emission tests? No, not in India. Everyone just moves on, or doesn't care, in the first place.
Hope this will not be deleted, it's rather
Mod, hope you please understand

I have made an effort to bring this incident in notice of the concerned officials who are looking after media relations/media interactions of Mahindra. Lets wait and see what the outcome is.
