RipOffReport.com Complaint - Fake RipOffReport Complaints

Posted by Ponie on 2009-01-12:

It's not the first time I've heard this about ROR. You don't take their 'complaints' with a grain of salt--you use the whole box! When life gets too serious, I sometimes peruse that site for comic relief. Hope things worked out OK for you.

That's why I don't visit that site any more. I hear the guy who runs it is pretty unsavory.

I'm still waiting for someone in government to grow some and see this cyber-rag should not be able to hide behind the first amendment while committing RICO acts.

I tried to respond to some complaints that dealt with companies I was associated with and was surprised that they want to charge you to print anything counteracting the negative reviews. Not a valuable tool

I couldn't take that site seriously after noticing they allowed users to post defamatory comments about people who were identified by full name and the area where they lived. Of course it is an internet gripe board, so there's at least a 50% chance anything posted is going to be filled with lies and embellishment.

The ripoff report is nothing more than an extortion racket.

ED Magedson sold my personal information to the company I made a complaint agaisnt on his Rip Off Report! This is BS and now I am scared. I filed a ROR report on a company that was a scam business 3 months ago. On January 4 this year I got a letter in my mailbox at my residence from the owner of the company I complained about on ROR. He told me he was sold my personal information by Ed Magedson for 2200.00 and now he can come to my damn home and harass me.

This Ed Magdeson and his ROR is a true scum site. You think your information is protected when you make a report on his site and Ed turns around and sells your contact information to the business you reported on

That's the way Ed rolls...he also keeps slithering out from under lawsuits either by settling, not showing and subsequently not paying the judgements against him, and even winning some.

Why would anyone pay $2200 for your personal information?

Posted by BokiBean on 2009-02-17:

They pay for ed's "advocacy" program. Ed will let them know who posted the information, at the same time doing damage control on his site by way of editorial comments, etc. BTW, $2200 is a deal according to the cases that have made it to court...

Here's an indepth article from the Phoneix News (ed sued them for it then dropped the suit later):
