I'm not sure that blatant testimonial fabrication and deception is really cutting corners.

Not to mention using someone's likeness to endorse your product without their permission. I would imagine that is actually illegal.

I knew a professional photographer who loved it when websites used his images without permission, because he made a lot more money.

That is illegal — and it's why photographers need to get model releases

You cut a corner you shouldn't have.

Sorry that this bothered you guys and I took out the testimonials all together until I get actual pictures.

This site was created using a bootstrap theme that had her picture in there FWIW.

Adding fake testimonals really does reflect badly on the trustworthiness of your extension.
