Biggest rip off senice the park was put in place.They took away the office that had been ruined for over 10 years by the same people without any trouble,except the low life's that wasn't clean up their mess,and people taking up 2 and 3 lot without paying rent. I've lived in this place since 2003 now I'm ashamed to call it home. Liars,theirs and drug dealers.
I provided emails proving that someone posted a FAKE review for someone else without their consent. We had already resolved the matter with the real customer.
The website ripoffreport.com is a scam site where anyone can post anything include and mostly abusive, harassing and defamatory content about anyone the site then extorts the victim by telling them they must pay to take down the post. Courts have ruled that what they do is considered extortion and racketeering. Please report this site to the FCC, you states attorney generals office and make a complaint to godaddy who is their hosting provider
Site frankly has no business even existing. It's effectively nothing more than an extortion platform. Where the owner demands large sums of money to delete unsubstantiated accusations. You can write anything about pretty much anyone, the only way it'll be addressed is if you attempt to write something slanderous about someone who could harm the website (For example, a google executive).
It's useless for consumers, because no claims on the site are verified or investigated in anyway. You can go file a report on anything, even private individuals, and write absolutely anything you want about them. It serves no purpose for businesses, as it's entire business model is built around digital extortion.
Cash App is pure Ripoff of an app letting deposit money but anytime you need to cash out a charge to get the cash into your bank instantly almost $8.45 to get you $480 back to your account otherwise wait 6 days to get your money free of frees. What a real Ripoff service.
By the way the online help desk is useless.
It's really funny that Ripoff Report is asking for non-tax deductible donations to maintain their "Free Speech platform" the fact of the matter is that the reason they are where they are is because they choose to let trolls and liars abuse their platform and refuse to remove or ad a notice that the review/report is unsubstantiated. Free speech doesn't need to be "free $$" and since they prey on people who likely can't afford a proper lawsuit that wastes everyone's time then when they actually do get a company that can. It only adds to the circus acts.
Just like they want people to pay for VIP treatment to get bad reviews looked at they should add the option to have reports PAY to also be verified. Any reports made in such a website should also be a seal of verification to make them look more legit. They can charge for this if they want to seeing as the entire website is just pretty much a troll paradise anyway, if Ripoff Report also made their numerous trolls pay for the bad slander and "free speech" even just a couple of dollars, it would greatly reduce the number of fake unsubstantiated reports being posted and they won't need to beg people for money since people don't believe a site that's known for not verifying the legitimacy of any of the reports posted on their site anyway.
I was reading their explanation of "you gonna sue us? Please don't" and it sounded like Trumper begging to be able to do whatever idiotic thing they've been getting away with since before verification was a thing online... 1998 and hasn't changed. Ripoff report needs to adapt, As they say in the world of business... "Change or Die" at this rate due to their stubbornness of the "American Dream" (of letting trolls go unpunished, aka "free speech") they will go and join defunct sites like Geocities...
RipOffReport (and the owner alleged con artist ED MAGEDSON) are an alleged fraud and an online extortion operation seemingly backed by some weird US laws that need to be urgently changed. The RIPOFFREPORT allows completely fake, false and anonymous "authors" post absolute lies, defamation and libel against individuals and companies who did not let themselves to be scammed and abused by those fake, anonymous posters, called "authors". ROR now has a new feature (in green font) called: Author Confirmed, where they state the author is real and confirmed, while in all cases known to me those authors are completely fake (fantasy names used) and anonymous spreaders of lies in order to hurt the individual or company and then for ROR to extort thousands of dollars from them. Ripoffreport and its infamous owner and an alleged con artist ED MAGEDSON allow and accept absolutely fake and anonymous unverified posts and now they will upgrade the filthy posts with "Author Confirmed" after you don't pay them the $2000 that they ask by emailing you in multiple messages that they ask in order to push the listing down, so it can not be found. Once the ROR realises they won't be paid by you the victim, and the victim of ROR can not be fooled, they resort to marking their fake post as "Author Confirmed". That is an alleged criminal behavior and the country supporting it through its laws is criminal den as well. Interestingly enough the victims of this fake "review" extortion business that ROR is do not have complaints posted on any other internet complaint websites, only on the ROR. That says something! Don't take ROR seriously and they should be shut down and the owner should face international court of law by a massive class action.
I called A&J Appliance Repair Service located in Stuart Florida to repair my dryer. I guess the biggest mistake I made was to take someone else's experience with this company and not do my own research. Dealing with them is one of the worst experiences I've ever had and I've been around a long time. My advise is to check out any company before making an appointment and to always use your credit card for protection. Never call A&J.
The owner of this site is the ultimate fat troll who gets off on posting unverified lies. Anyone can go on at anytime and write anything, even if you don't own a business. This site is absolutely ridiculous and shouldn't even be allowed to run.
Anyone who has been solicited to give this site money needs to report it immediately to the Dept. of Justice for Online Extortion.
Tried to leave a review about TerryWilson3 on the site RipoffReport and could not do it. The site would NOT let me register!
After some investigating i know why i couldn't leave a review.
Also, the negative review i had on sitejabber about Terry Wilson3 mysteriously disappeared and several glowing reviews popped up! Hmmm imagine that
Has Iowa posted the damages they had to pay to Rip Off Report, Iowa was propped up by some very bad players (Attorneys) who have a personal vendetta against the consumer reporting division. If a public prosecutor (District Attorney) has been violating his elected position by using strong arm tactics the taxpayers of Iowa need to determine if our money should be spent chasing down silly issues.
My name has been drug through the dirt by RipOff Report even though I never had contact with the person writing the Negative post. I asked to be removed since I never met the person and was mistakenly added to a list within the report. Matter of fact I think the report in itself is FAKE and a vehicle for EXTORTION. RipOff Report refused to do it. RipOff Report is a CENTRAL HUB for Extortionists trying to take advantage of innocent people. I suppose not all posts on there are fake, but this one was. The fact that RipOff Report refused to remove this post, or at least refused to remove my name from it (when it clearly shows in the post I never had contact with or met the person) shows that in the background they are running an unethical website. It also shows that the post itself is/was a vehicle for EXTORTION. The person posting has ZERO PROOF of anything! Why was my name posted for no reason? WTH is happening with people that they need to stoop down to this level? Still if people do thier research, they will realize that the person who posted the report is the sick one, the EXTORTIONEST. This is 100% SLANDER written out in black & white. How this site still manages exist it beyond me. The seedy business ethics of RipOff Report make my stomach turn. BobbieBardot
This guy thinks he can get away with magic by hiring multiple cheap lawyers and posting novel length comments or feedback but yet he is not picking up his phone or dealing with it like a proper individual. Stop hiding behind the curtain, grow a set and man up!
I've been using Ripoff Report for years. It helped me deal with a very bullish landlady, a boss who was extremely mean and sexist, a workplace that was wearing me down, a guy blogger who gets on my nerves, a cleaning fluid that is toxic, the same bullish landlady once again, and tee-shirt company displaying religious logo on underwear they were selling. All this venting really helped me think things through as well as possibly expose some things or organizations for what they are. RateMDs re-organizes their website and removes all their reviews; I couldn't even log in anymore. Not Ripoff. I also like checking out what some other people might have said about an organization or product.
The Better Business Bureau gave this an F rating. They have 51 disputes filed against them in which the business failed to respond. This is a phishing and scam site which uses personal information for malware and harassment.
I was told by a friend that I wrote a review on this website, Well let me tell you. It wasn't me! Apparently someone used my name to hide behind and wrote their BS story... This site is a JOKE!
This is a terrible website where anyone can say anything about anyone or any business. It's a place where people with grudges can defame whomever they like without repercussion.
I have reported a bunch of companies on here, which have all screwed me over in some way. Most of the time, my intention was not to have the issue resolved, but, just to settle the score with some good old, sweet revenge!
By exposing what the company and what they did to me or someone else to the world, it may not solve the problem, but, it will hurt them in other ways.
First of all, anybody that reads my complaint will think twice about going to that company again. That means, they will have that many less customers to rip off! These people will also tell their friends and relatives not to go there. That will hurt them a little more, because they won't be able to hurt those people and rip them off.
For every customer I take away from a business, they will lose anywhere from $1 to multiple Billions of dollars! So I'm not just hurting that company's reputation, but, I hurt them financially as well!
Vigilante style revenge is so awesome!
The site Sometimes even works as it is supposed to. That is when a company actually is informed of a complaint somebody has submitted about them.
Then the company contacts the consumer to make things right. When this happens, the two parties come to their own agreement on how to solve the problem, usually without going to court.
Most of the time, the offender, usually a company, will offer to make things right to the victim, either by fixing whatever it was they broke, refunding the person's money or doing whatever they have to do to make amends to the customer and keep them happy. After they resolve the problem, they will usually insist that the person who submitted the complaint must immediately remove it from the site.
There are a lot of companies, however, that just don't seem to care and they simply don't get the message. For example, if you look up Just Brakes on this site, you'll see over a Thousand complaints! This is a company that just has no Morales! They couldn't care less if people post more complaints about them!
So, this is a good site, on which you can research a company and find out if they have a bad reputation. If they have more than 50 serious complaints, don't go there, or they will screw you to!
An example of how this site has worked for a friend of mine:
My friend from work was sent home one day by the Manager, because he didn't have. A company tie and another part of his uniform. The Manager was very corrupt and he told him that he needed to buy his own tie and anything else he needed for the uniform.
My friend said, "No, that's not right! The uniform was issued by the company! Anything that goes with it, you have to supply!"
The Manager sent him home and said, "Don't come back until YOU buy the accessories you need for the uniform!"
He refused to spend his own money for the company uniform. So, he stayed home and was off duty for two whole weeks.
Then, he wrote about the incident and some other things the company was doing wrong on Rip Off Report.
The next day, the Manager was received a phone call from Rip Off Report. They told him about the complaint that an employee just wrote about him and the company.
The Manager called my friend into his office to work out a deal.
The Manager was waiting in the office with a tie and all the other things my friend needed for his uniform.
When my friend got to the office, the Manager gave him everything he needed. Then, he said, "Lets make a deal, I will give you full pay for the entire two weeks you've been off work and here's an extra $300. But, you can only have all of this and keep your job here, IF, you remove your complaint from Rip Off Report!"
My friend said, "Fine. I'll do that. But, if you do something like this again, I'll see you in cout."
The Manager told him, he had to remove the complaint right away. He had him use the computer in the Manager's office and the Manager watched him remove it.
By letting the employee keep the job, paying him for the time he was off, giving him what he needed and giving him an extra $300, the company probably saved Thousands, if not Millions of dollars. Because, if that report had stayed on Rip Off Report and tons of people saw it, nobody would of done much business with the company ever again. Then, maybe somebody would have even put it on the NEWS.
BTW, the company I'm talking about here is: "SECURAMERICA, in Orlando, FL. Don't ever contract that company out! They've screwed me and a bunch of other people! In fact, they have screwed the LITERALLY ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES! They cut everybody's pay and treat people like s#@t! Don't ever work for SECURAMERICA! You've been warned!
Overall, this site is great, evn though they don't resolve ALL the problem that people report, at least it's a good way to get a little revenge!
Good site for those who know how to sort information from misinformation.
Answer: Everyone who has been a victim of this site needs to report it immediately!
Answer: Don't post anything on that website; it is not a consumer protection website; the owner uses the complaints to get money from people and businesses complained about. Essentially, you file a complaint, he contacts the company and asks them for money to EDIT the complaint. You get nothing and the website gets everything.
