I did some research before buying the lenses from VR-Rock, but I still got tricked. I am writing this blog help make more people aware of their dishonesty.
Some comments on Reddit might come from real users, but a lot of them are actually from sock puppet accounts created by VR-Rock. They’ve got tons of accounts, especially from the Philippines. You'll often see them leaving comments on new posts about VR prescription lenses or even on really old ones. Usually, they drop two comments in a row across different threads.
I’ll share some real examples with you. While some comments might get removed by the moderators, most of them can fly under the radar unless you look closely. They might take down some of these comments after they see this blog, but the screenshots will show the truth.
After reading this, they might try other sneaky tactics to manipulate comments on social media, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up about how underhanded they can be. It's best to steer clear of them!"
Please help spread this so more people know the truth!
Example 1:
2 accounts commented on a 5 month-old post and get upvotes very soon:
It looks good so far eh, but click into their accounts：
2 VR-Rock related comments in a row in different posts. For other posts, they mainly replied in Filipino. As we discover more, you will notice this is not a coincidence.
Example 2 :
Reddit post link:
This Post has at least 4 or 5 VR Rock's puppet accouts. They interact with each other in the comments. Click on their usernames to find out.

2 of the newest commments were already removed by the mod as of January 23rd 2025. They commented in a 2-year old post and got 9 upvotes for each comment very soon.
There are plenty more posts like this, and I’ll keep sharing in my next blog to help others steer clear of the VR-Rock scam.
