What is the Rip Off Report ?

Aggrieved individuals are asked to submit their complaints at ripoffreport, and, those statements are posted online with the expectation that public exposure will apply pressure to the targeted businesses. The administrator of rip off reports, solicits descriptions of scams and poor customer service claims and publishes those reports as examples of corporate fraud.

This website is being bombarded by competing companies making false complaints against good companies because they can’t compete fairly. removeripoffreport.com should be discontinued
I added your blog to bookmarks. And i’ll read your articles more often!
Perhaps a petition should be started to remove this rediculous site…
“Rip off report” sites are illegally posting slanderous/libel/deformatory content. This is illegal, and it is especially destroying the smaller business owners and is affecting the larger corporations by allowing just anyone, especially ruthless competitors to post false, slanderous lies with absolutely no proof from the criminals who are making these false statements. Something has to be done regarding these sites. WHY is our government allowing these sites to continue the work of Satan? What can be done?
Can’t get anyone to respond from this website. They have a false complaint about me on this website from a lady.
Free speech is exactly that folks… free speech.
I totally agree with everybody. Ripoffreport has been a place for my ex-employee’s and competition to slander my company. I could do the same to them but I don’t do business that way. What is everybody doing to get Ripoffreport taken down?
While a great number of the complaints on this site are frivolous, there are genuine and legitimate gripes from consumers. I would like to say that while many of you people are chomping for the removal of this site, remember a few important things:
1. If you are being stalked or harassed, that is what the LAW is for. Call an attorney and sue the idiot.
2. When you start demanding that free speech only apply to you, eventually, it will not apply to ANYONE. You may not agree with a person’s opinion, but they have a right just as you do to express it. Take their right away, and you take your own away.
3. There are people on this site who know BS when they read it, me being one of those. There are people who call it out and refute the BS claims. So not only are you ignoring the law when you need it, trampling on your free speech, you are allowing people to bad mouth companies with no rebuttals.
4. While you are nailing CB to the cross, remember that there are several more sites out there for people to post their gripes. Just google ‘complaints’ and you will have a whole lot to choose from.
These whiners will simply find another avenue to complain. At least on CB, we had a chance to call them out.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Andrea,
In today’s world, everyone wants to be an “authority.” Your brand (ripoffreport.com) of freedom of speech is let anyone make an accusation and in the response the truth will eventually emerge. You (ripoffreport) state by taking away their freedom to complain, we as an injured party lose our freedom to set the record straight. I don’t know what journalism school you (ripoffreport) went to but that line of think perverts the first amendment. If ripoffreport wanted truly to be relevant, it would verify each complaint for legitimacy and accuracy. Not just repeat unfounded and unsubstantiated rumor. Yea, that’s hard. But that’s the difference between an legitimate news organization and a legitimate resource site versus someone in their underwear in front of a computer pretending to be Clark Kent. At worst, it’s a genius scam to post fake complaints about one company and charge them to remove them by another.
Company’s should be proactive in their reputation management. If they wait until they have to react they will always be at a disadvantage.

Maybe you don’t get it, but ripoffreport.com is being used as a marketing tool…if you have a problem with a company, call your states Attorney Gerneral or the BBB if it was that bad, otherwise, don’t sit on your dead butt and whine and act tough behind a computer.
There are legitmate companies being hurt by this website…period.
Understand that these types of sites get many false complaints that hurt many businesses…and if you don’t understand that, then continue to work at McDonalds and make sure my fries aren’t burnt when I stop by or I will complain about you.
Some whack job lady who got angry with me when I decided to end a relationship I was in with her as a ROOMMATE, states that I am a narcissist, that I owe her money, and that we were in a relationship as lovers…all lies!
Take my name off there now, or I will take you to court!
Rip Off Report is nothing short of pure evil. It has been proven in several defamation hearings that authors many of the libelous comments on their own site. Clearly they are choosing when to abide by their own consumer advocacy paradigm, and when not to.
I like to sue the rip off report …..They are not responding for my mails also, then what the hell the company is running for … when they can’t able to do proper service , if complaint is geniune they can accept this is full of bull sh*t , where no proper contact details and no proper verification … its full of humbuckl…
We had our competition slander our company on ripoffreports and even posted links to their websites in the complaint. Even though it is a violation of their terms of service, ripoffreport won’t remove them. They posed as customers who claim to have purchased from us but when we looked up their names in our system we see that they never placed any orders with us. They even said in the complaint order numbers which are numbers we have never used for any transactions.
Thanks for this interesting information! I found it very useful =)
