RipOffReport.com Reviews

Ripoff Reports reviews are not written by people who don't exist! I have a right to get on a website such as Ripoff Reports and tell of my bad experience with a company. I am not a person who does not exist! I don't think online companies should be able to wipe out my bad reviews of companies that don't treat me fairly, or take my money and never send my product. Other people have a right to know what kind of business they are thinking of dealing with. I have a brain. I know how to pick between legitimate complaints and ravings. Some of the people who are complaining about sites that contain reviews sound more like raving than the complaints themselves.

We came across a review a competitor posted about us. You can tell it's our competitor since the same say and time that was posted maybe 20 minutes later I get an email from this competitor claiming he's suing me for infringement. This guy thinks I'm dumb not to figure it out, but anyways back to RipOffReport they claim that they post everything and it can't and won’t be taken off. But talking about lying scum, I posted a rebuttal almost 10 days later and it's not posted. I've submitted a few more and still no posting of my rebuttal.

I'm just going to make this simple. My husband was defamed, called names and has seriously been so beaten down that it's just beyond me why people are so hurtful. My husband might not always make friends but even then there are no reasons to make inaccurate assumptions. I am so sick of these people and their "fake reports." No one can do anything about this??? I would never pay 2k to "try" and hope that this imaginary person would be cordial enough and remove this crap. Unfortunately this wouldn't happen because people have no heart and would kill to see others fall for their benefit. Some people need to be taught some manners and I would LOVE if the court system would take this slandering crappy no excuse website off.

My company has a false statement which has affected my business and we've done nothing wrong. We have an executed agreement and POA from a client so that we could pursue unclaimed government refund money for her. The client got the refund that's been owed since 2009, admitted that she donated it all to charity and refuses to pay. Now that she knows our firm is pursuing her legally she has posted FALSE and very slanderous statements against our company. RipOffReport.com claims that if you give their 3rd party arbitrators $2,000 they will potentially remove the false statement. What a SCAM. I've got some money to burn and would love to perform a Class Action lawsuit against RipOffReport.com. I'm also willing to team up with investors in an effort to create a website that authenticates people and business, not some garage that RipOffReport.com allows.

A false and slanderous report/complaint was filed with RipOffReport.com by an unnamed individual on 2/18/2015. The unidentified individual stated the VLM Capital Consultants LLC is a fictitious company and that a Chase bank account did not exist for this company. The unnamed individual was allowed to publish this false and misleading statement also stating that the Company and its business banking with Chase Bank was nothing more than a scam. It is obvious that VLM Capital Consultants is a legitimate Company and it does have its business banking account with Chase Bank. Its publishing of a false complaint is slander against our Company and has caused a loss of credibility for our Company. Most probably a tremendous loss of business.

They make phony posts, never using anyone's real name - if someone ripped me off, I would definitely use my real name. They do this because they can't get sued because they supposedly didn't make the posts and for whoever did it's freedom of speech (because that's the American way - baseball, apple pie, law suits and the right to say whatever the ** you want about whoever you want to say it about). This site was founded by Ed Magedson, December 1998. It's operate by Xcentric Ventures, LLC in Tempe, Arizona. What they basically do is slander companies and people by these posts supposedly put out there by the real people, but it's kind of funny that real people don't use their real names - that's kind of odd.

The statements on Rip off Report had nothing to do with consumer relations. It was all based on a personal made up opinion of us by someone we never had a business relationship with. It was referring to a fine for clerical errors. That does not harm a consumer. I co-signed a lease for ex wife and children, which the landlord tried to charge $6800 for painting. Again, did not harm a consumer David ** , David ** , Regal Online Mortgage, Host LA Real Estate Group, Host Cars LA LLC, do not have any consumer complaints against them.

This is to follow up the false statement that is reported on Rip off report. This event never occurred! This is false accusations and a dishonest website That is trying to ruin people's reputation while trying to make a buck on doing so. Can you say "Extortion"... What a scam of a website!! How do we live in a society that has this type of abuse towards good people. This is a defamation of character. The rip off report is the true Rip Off!! You want to charge an innocent person $2000.00 to remove lies?? If anyone has purchased a used car from a dealership everyone knows they offer free car fax reports that shows the cars' entire history, accidents and all!

Rip off report is criminal and lies, False reports. This site is not just about businesses but person also. I had a guy rip me off and take a dog he was suppose to buy but never paid for, I had to repose the dog and charge him. When I sued him in court he slandered my name all over ROR to get back at me. He died several months after being charged for taking a third ladies dogs. While he was being sentenced to jail he had a heart attack and died on the spot. I can't get him to remove anything as he is dead, like he would anyways as he was mentally not right and had it out for me.

I have all the positive experiences with RipOffReport.com. I believe it provides a great platform for the general public to share their bad experience with the crook and con artist. This would put fraudulent criminals nothing to hide and would prevent more people fall into their victims.

I'm absolutely amazed that someone hasn't organized a class action lawsuit against this company and the Directors for defamation. Someone I don't even know, who I have never had any contact with, and who I have no business with, simply filed a "complaint" and made a permanent record that defamed my character, and as much as I would like to think that intelligent people don't consider such garbage, the fact of the matter is they do!

My company was the target of a disgruntled employee who posted serious and defamatory accusations about several employees and managers who he worked with. In the posting title, he included the keywords Liars, Scam, Extortion, Deceptive, and these words show when doing a Google search for our company, immediately under our website links.

I am really angry at this website where any one can write down anything about any business without verifying the truth and that they need $2000.00 to verify. What a scam. We should file the joint case in court by meeting together who are in same jurisdiction are. A hotel there was a customer who did not had enough money to rent room. Thinking of his situation that he is homeless and girlfriend kicked him out we gave him very low rate for room. When we asked him if he had any pet he said no. After few days we found place was full of rat and snake. When asked him to leave wrote wrong report on ripoff. Learned a lesson - never have mercy on any one until know them well. Is there anyone to help against this hoax.

I had an issue with a scam artist that was on RipOffReport. He had a warrant for his arrest and was dating my roommate who I asked to leave because he was a danger to myself and children. He doctor shopped hospitals for pain pills, etc. Well to get even with me and others that found out about him, he posted disgusting personal comments about all of us using our names, our children's names, and he put my employment and children's welfare at risk. I thought this site was for businesses??????? How come personal and disgusting lies can be posted about people on the site including the first and last names of minor children??? This site is made for the enjoyment of its owner to see people suffer.

I posted a complaint regarding my local Water & Sewer Department. An employee disguised as a consumer replied to my complaint in a callous and unprofessional manner. I immediately replied to his comments. When I requested that this user be penalized for pretending to post as a consumer and posting rude comments as his rebuttal, C/S advised that they cannot remove his comment. This user violated the site's terms and conditions. I realized right then and there that unfortunately their site is flawed. I like their site's purpose: a medium for consumers to voice their concerns and negative experiences and to prevent others from experiencing similar situations. Unfortunately any employee can pose as a consumer and reply with a rebuttal that includes rude and irritating comments if their offended by the initial complaint in the first place. I will not be using this site's services in the near future.

Ripoff betrays your confidence. Do not trust them! Ripoff report is not the website that you naively think it is. They mislead that they post all reviews and never remove reports from their database. This is not true. Companies paid Ripoff report not to post negative reviews. Their advice to you, not to reveal your real name is a trap, since they give it to the companies without your consent. You are unaware that the company knows your name. Behind the misleading Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, Ripoff report doesn't post the negative reviews. He gives your name to the company, and they contact you personally. The consequences could be very damaging for you and your reputation. Rich companies found the way to eliminate the negative reviews. Be careful never, ever write your real name when you create a profile and do not use your personal email address.

They make it seem as though you are saving the world by "turning people in" and you are protected so that there are no consequences. Little did I know, MY report was false. My report was not harmful in my opinion, not slandering, just false and I thought I was doing the right thing by helping others to not be scammed. Turns out, my scammer was not a scammer in any way just one that didn't approach me in convincing ways. I decided to take down my anonymously made post when I was threatened with a lawsuit. Once I was convinced this all was real, I tried and tried and tried. All you can do is add a rebuttal which seemingly goes unnoticed at the bottom of the page.

I thought RipOff wants to say the truth about a company and what I get from them is "Hey wait a minute - did you just make a report about a police department? We can't have that!” Is it because it is a police department??? And why are you being so biased? Why are you favoring a civil servant over a citizen? I have asked for your input about this but you refuse to respond to me or if you do respond you say something like my reports are way out of line!!! Is that because it is about a civil servant??? I thought I read somewhere on your site that you encourage people to report the truth! Well is it or is it not??? How many do I have now? I am not about to get down on my knees to count every character that I wrote to you about. So are you a flip or are you a flop?

Plain and simple. I have had a ton of problems with people scamming me, especially over the last five years, or more. RIPOFFREPORT is a great avenue for the redress of business and personal grievance. To date, I have posted about 20, rather lengthy complaints about crooks, and abusers, liars, cheats and thieves, who have taken me for over $100,000 dollars, over the last seven years. My latest, for example, is a post against a phony internet provider, and another one, against the triple - phony installer, who came to my home, and installed the satellite dish to "receive" the internet service I was told, falsely, that I would receive, for a certain amount of money per month.

My company was the victim of identity theft. Once aware this was occurring, I immediately contacted local, state, and federal agencies. It was a home business scam. Victims of this scam have posted on Ripoff Report. I have submitted rebuttals but Ripoff Report will not remove the inaccurate information or acknowledge that it was inaccurate. However they do advertise a process to repair your reputation for a fee. Somehow their website claims this legal and they bear no responsibility for the inaccurate information. When my company name is searched, their inaccurate reports are displayed, misleading those who are looking up my company. This is wrong and should be stopped!

I have been the victim of a fraudster who used the Rip off report to post faux and defamatory statements about me using Allis. The publishers of the RRR hide behind the 5th amendment under USA law but do nothing to verify the truth of what is published by Trolls that use their site for personal revenge. Kind of make a complete mockery of what the RRR claims to be.

Ripoff report posted a "review" from an anonymous person. It states nothing but lies and made up facts. I searched a bit and saw it was posted from Arizona, where the company is located. We are in NJ. They will help you make the review positive IF YOU PAY THEM. It's a total scam. I don't know how anyone could feel good about working for a company like this.

A felon I know put up an Internet non-profit organization called Opiate Awareness Institute and made me a treasurer without my knowledge. When I asked him to remove my name, he blog me at RipOffReport.com. Calling me a drug addict and a gambler. A lot of derogatory remarks that's destroying my business. It is all untrue and no foundation of all that allegations. I contacted the RipOffReport but no response.

My name is Lenny ** in Topeka, Kansas. I am really frustrated about a website called ripoffreport.com A gentleman by the name of Dalton ** put a career damaging post on ripoffreport.com labeling me as a thief and drug user. They were 100% false statements with no documentation whatsoever to back up any of these blatantly obvious false claims that he made. It potentially can have a really bad effect not on my business but me personally. The gentleman that made the post about me has a very checkered past.

Stranger tried to destroy me personally on ripoff report - I lost most of my friends, my job. Not to mention anyone new I meet. Anybody who googles me gets this huge lie written by a stranger on page 1. I've asked to remove it and been told it's $20k to mediate, or $2k to arbitrate. Google won't remove it either, because clearly, they love Ed Magedson. I'd never even talked to the guy who destroyed my life. I listened to him talk once about some illegal things he was doing and decided to do some research, and possibly turn him into the authorities (Yes I have proof!). I discovered a ripoff report on him and decided not to do business with him. So the guy got mad when I added a comment to a ripoff complaint. The rest is history. I couldn't work for a long time after that and was in counseling for 2 years, battling depression, anxiety. The end is not going to be a happy one. There is only 1 way out, and that is Googlecide.

A mentally unstable neighbor who robbed our HOA blind by not paying her HOA fees launched a vendetta against homeowners and filed an erroneous Rip Off Report about my business with nothing substantiated. She used the excuse of being a neighbor (which she no longer is, having lost her home to short sale for not paying her bills) and having experienced anger issues directed at her by me. These untruths had nothing whatsoever to do with my profession and yet RipOffReport.com published a report that obviously had nothing to do with business. She even stated that I am honest in my business dealings but my 'anger issues' make one feel ripped off. Nothing about her badly written report made any sense nor was it about business since I have never had any business dealings with this whack job to begin with. Yet Rip Off Report published this nonsensical report from a disturbed mind and asked for no proof backing up her claims.

A disgruntled former employee posted lies about my husband and our company in 2006. Over time, other angry former employees contributed more untruths, resulting in damaged credibility with our customers and the eventual collapse of our business.

I owned a business helping people and Ripoff Report allowed an ex-girlfriend that never used my services to post a slanderous false report about my business without any proof of purchase or invoice. This should be illegal. The Better Business Bureau will not allow you to post anything to their site without proof of purchase or invoice from the business that you are reporting. My business and name are ruined now because of two parties. If my son ever gets affected by this, I will hunt Ed and his Employees down. If our own Government cannot protect us, who will?

I've seen quite a few other similar complaints by consumers in the same boat. How can I get my money refunded? Help me!

Unbelievable what I've ready about Ripoff. The owner by his own admission has found "trouble" at every turn in his life. Have you ever known someone who has more than their share of drama in their lives? I'm concerned about the "rebuttal" process and any rights I may give up in a current case involving the person who defamed us and wrote on Ripoff. There is a disclaimer that says legal issues as a result of the original post and rebuttals are part of AZ.

I was recently contacted by a family member about some claims on a website called Pissedcustomer.com and also two on Rippoff.com. Here's the problem. The supposed customers who posted the anonymous complaints (most posted on the same day and the 3 consecutive days that follow) don't exist and never did. 5 postings were done on July 21st, 2013, suggesting it is the same person and also started on that 21st day for the first time in 13 years of business. One particular post on "Pissedconsumer.com" stating:

Ms. ** is Claiming someone is making a complaint against us yet refuses to give us any date, time, location or information on the when, where and how. She is claiming someone got sick "about 2 months ago" at one of our catered events. How does she know it wasn't from a dessert ordered from somewhere else (like a cake for a wedding)? She won't even pinpoint the date so we can verify if we even catered the event. If someone gets sick from food provided to them, they generally call the place where they ate and report it to the company... if they get no response then they call the health department. I can only believe that it's a false claim because she refuses to give us any pertinent information. Ripoffreport is just that... a RipOFF...

Upon doing a Google search, I found a "Ripoff Report" concerning my business from a **. First, I would think that if someone is going to file an honest report against a person or business that they would provide their "real name". The main reason for "Ripoff" is to improve Customer Service. How can you provide any Customer Service to someone who was never your customer in the first place? ** has never been one of my customers. The reason for the bogus name is that NOTHING in the "Ripoff Report" is TRUTHFUL!!!

I have been the marketing manager at a Home Improvement company for about 1.5 months now, after matriculating from being the marketing admin at a too-big bankruptcy firm. My new company has like 8 rip-off-reports on them....you know the one thing we haven't seemed to do in ANY of the 8 reports? Cause financial harm to anybody.....yeah, seriously, 8 rip off reports and NOT ONE OF THEM mention any sort of "ripping" anything "off" of anything. No financial issues. Nope....we have a guy who's mad we wouldn't meet with him alone and insisted that his wife was there, as if somebody who wants to spend 5 figures without their wife around is anybody upstanding. Other than that, we have a back and forth bicker session between a bitter ex employee and a not-bitter ex employee. Better suited for glass door.

Me and my family are being harassed and stalked by a woman that is using our business to defame and ruin our reputations and lives. We have 2 restraining orders against her and she does not adhere to them at all. Everything she posts has nothing to do with our business practices, she doesn't even live in our state. Ripoff Report wants us to pay them to have this issue potential resolved that does not guarantee removal of the posts. This company is not about protecting the public from bad business experiences. They are about extorting money from good people trying to protect their livelihoods from criminals.

Recently, I became aware of a bogus "Rip-Off Report" that was written about me by an individual named Dennis who has been stalking me online for the past 14 years. This stalker has made false claims that I'M the stalker when I am NOT. He has been maliciously peddling his lies and presenting them as truth all this time. I had previously filed a legitimate report about my stalker believing that "Rip-Off Report" was a decent place where I could get justice for myself. Unfortunately, I was wrong because Ed Magedson permitted a FAKE report to appear about ME on his sick website and now, I have a permanent mark on me which will NEVER go away. My reputation is ruined now and there is no way of recovering all because Ed Magedson saw fit to make sure my stalker was granted the power to cause irreversible damage to me on his fraudulent "Rip-Off Report" website!

I am an agent with Coventry Healthcare of Florida since the Affordable care act started on October 1, 2013. Coventry promised to pay commission by the end of February but has not paid as yet. They sent out one email in reference to commission since February and have not sent another one as yet. I tried to contact their commission department for weeks with no real success. I was promised on April 4th that payment will be paid the following week but guess what, the week ended with no commission payment. Coventry Healthcare of Florida is a total scam and only wants the government and clients' money.

A long time client was hurt due to Facebook and lashed out with false claims and no documentation to support her story. She is a self proclaimed WITCH and her business is about witchcraft and talking to dead people and dead pets. They used RIP OFF REPORT. My company had a sterling reputation for 3 years. An A rating with the BBB. The client then claimed she wanted to resend her complaint as she was on drugs when filing her claim with RIP OFF REPORT. I have all the emails she sent me stating this. My business was destroyed because of RIP OFF REPORT. All of my clients have urged me to share my story. Sadly, it makes people stay away from the internet. I have learned a huge business lesson from this. Hope this helps other innocent people. I’m a fighter. I won't give up... especially from evil people.

Posted damaging and false information. Somehow they also manipulated the #1 spot on a Google search when my name is googled. I never owned a business and have been retired from education for 6 years. It is a malicious act by some unknown individual. Ripoffreport.com ignores requests to remove the damaging and hurtful information. Please help me and a lot of other people whose have had unfair, untrue and damaging experiences with this website.

I went to that site to post a well-deserve trashing review on Hibu but I didn't like something about the site, I don't know, so I didn't post it there. (I did here, find it, it's inspiring). Now, since I was there anyway I typed my company's name just for fun since we lost only 7 customers and only because they moved to area we do not serve so there was no way there could be a bad review on us. Well, it wasn't. Fast-forward 2 weeks later and I get an e-mail from someone offering to help me with the bad review on my company on...ripoffreport.com. Checked out the site and yeap, it's there, a fake review on us ("called them for help with my invoice and George cursed at me, run away from this business").

I was a recent victim of criminal libel and filed a report for cyber harassment. People use the site to bash others with the knowledge that nothing will be done about it. They cannot post anywhere else because they are banned and booted from other sites. They are internet trolls who don't have lives, and most of the people have obsessive compulsive personality disorder among other disturbing traits in their personalities. It is because they are not on the right path in life; they probably don't believe in God, don't work, harbor a lot of ill will and hatred for one reason or another, so the website cannot be relied upon because it be exploited by these people.

Anyone can write something about you and that is just what happened to me. I opened my business in 2008 and things were booming and I had an old rival that is considered a competitor that bashed me on the site. She was even stupid enough to post threads on there signing in with her real name and then signing the bottom of the statement with another name. This is how my attorney busted her. She is now in some serious trouble. She wrote false things about my personal life that had nothing to do with ripping someone off. She, in the law's eyes, would be the criminal. Ripoff Reports is no other than a cyberbullying site. Anyone can post ANYTHING about your business or personal life.

RipOff Report allows anyone to say anything they want about your business. Then they want $2,000 from the business to remove the accusations. I don't believe they should allow anyone to post without checking into the accusations made. This is just a way to mislead the public. If we sell 1,000 vehicles a year and have two complaints, that's a very small percentage. New car dealership with new vehicle has more complaints than we have.

Ed Magedson has taken defamatory excerpts from a rebuttal complaint from the business owner who I complained about for committing fraud and deception. He posted defamatory statements and put these statements on Google search results. He did this instead of posting excerpts from my complaint about this business that subjected me to fraud and deception. The New Times newspaper of Broward Beach, Florida also committed a similar violation. Thank you.

It seems to me that the real rip-off here is this organization Ripoff Reports. They claim to be advocates of good business practice yet post anonymous claims against any business as they are received. No verification, no investigation, no justification. They go so far as to admit this on their main page: “While we encourage and even require authors to only file truthful reports, Ripoff Report does not guarantee that all reports are authentic or accurate.” They further state that they never remove reports, presumably even when those reports are false, slanderous, or just plain dishonest. Yet a quick search on Google shows several companies that guarantee Ripoff Report removal for a fee.

Within 24 hrs of Donna G. putting a false statement against me on both site, I received an email requesting $$$ upfront to remove the complaint, and repair my reputation and business. Since then, the same person Donna G., Amelia V. has put up 2 more complaints and more than that on x-com-plaints.com. I have lost almost all my income, and have almost lost my home because of this lying slander that neither of these sites will take down. You see both these sites have servers that are overseas, so they can not be made to take the complaints down! I have suffered a huge financial loss because of this. My reputation will never be restored and my business is at a huge loss which will never be recovered.

Ed M, with his nauseating ripoffreport.com, is so clearly no more than an extortionist that only confuse consumers who would pay attention to him. If M were what he claims, fighting for the truth, he would take off all reports that are unfounded, when proven so. But he never takes them down. Ah, even if it is the truth?! Then, isn't his purported motivation just a lie?!

We are a worldwide company. Three days ago, we stumbled on a fraudulent report from **. The judicial system in the USA is not capable to deal with Magedson-types. Attorneys are stumped. FBI told us that they know of this thief, and recommended we filed with www.ic3.gov.

I have communicated with this company to no avail. I have yet to receive a response. We have been in business for over 35 years and just recently started to market our company on the internet. We have notice as well as any potential customer that there is a slanderous and an absolute lies put on their site. I can only recite our policy because there is no reference to which e customer or account it is. This is so unfair how can I get this incorrect information removed from their site?
