From a lawsuit -- “Ripoffreport.com, Xcentric Ventures L.L.C., and Ed Magedson operate a website, www.ripoffreport.com. that engages in selling victims of reports on ripoffreport.com a program called the Corporate Advocacy Program (CAP) for $7,500 plus a month monitoring fee of $100 a month for a minimum period of three years. According to Ed Magedson he has forty salesman telephoning victims of the reports on his website to purchase this CAP program. “
It seems to me that the real ripoff here is “Ripoff Reports” & Ed Magedson. 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. If a user has a change of heart, RipOffReport will not allow them to remove that they wrote. Yet a quick search on Google shows several companies that guarantee ripoff Report removal, for a fee. Could these companies be somehow related? That would be extortion as I see it? Against federal law as I understand it. Could that be the reason the Ripoff Report server is located in Turkey? They do have a PO Box in Tempe, Arizona, perhaps a mail forwarding service of some type? I do not know. Smells funny to me.
Ripoffs by ripoffs.com seem to be quite a growing concern, so much in fact that their web page even has a section on why it would be foolish to sue them. Let me add my own opinions: 1. It is hard to sue a con man. They often have the angles figured out. It is their occupation. 2. It is impossible to sue a PO Box. 3. It's very difficult and expensive to sue someone in Turkey if you live in the USA.
