ComplaintsBoard

It seems like many reviews are not really legit.

I know people who have posted fake reviews to get back at people they don't like that work for companies. They then make multiple profiles and make comments. There is no verification and the website refuses to remove false information even when the police endeavour to get malicious and false accusations removed. The website then says you can get the person who wrote to say it's resolved but they will never remove the comment. The only option is to take this company to court. Who can be bothered with the expense and hassle. I'm sure the majority of people realise that this is not a credible complaints website.

They show a FAKE negative overview of our company which is harming the reputation.
Moreover, all requests for the removal of malicious postings are completely ignored.

This site is a scam and should be shut down. I am a new business owner and they stole my 5 star review from trust pilot and falsely claim poor customer service and quality when there is not one complaint besides the 5 star review which they logged as a complaint. I will be looking into legal action against them. After talking with Complaints board they removed my company from their site and the review which is great, yet was still very concerned about the summary of my company that they put up of multiple complaints on service and quality when there are no negative reviews and even if there was a legitimate bad review, one review would not constitute the slandering of such extent. I have voiced my concerns and hope they are more careful with what they say about a company in the future.

They are not following what is in the contract for their employees, like for the working VISA. They should be the one to shoulder it for the OFW from the Philippines but they are deducting it on the first months salary of their employees. They make their employees work for 12-16 hours per day but they dont pay their overtime even though in the contract it says that overtime after 8 hours should be paid by the company. They dont give the time card to the employees so that theres no evidence that they worked overtime without pay. They dont give the last pay of some of their employees and cancels the contract without any definite reason or explanation. Very bad company

Just compare the reviews for "regus.com" in SJ, BBB and Complaintsboard. Complaintsboard says regus is 100% legit. They use the bot replies to mark complaints as "Resolved", giving them a certified seal, while in reality they were never resolved. They also auto-resolve the complaints after some time, so if the fraud site is persistent in giving fake resolutions, it will eventually mark them as resolved.

Here's an excerpt from BBB, and another from complaintsboard for the same site;

BBB: "Customer Complaint: Due to the volume of complaints filed against this business, BBB only publishes the details for 25% of the total complaints filed."

ComplaintsBoard: "ComplaintsBoard has analyzed Regus and determined that it has perfect credibility and is completely trustworthy, with a legitimacy rating of 100%."

Update: Since writing this review our profile was fixed and information updated. So make sure you reach out to them to clear everything up.
Our company has a "profile" on this terrible website. It collects random information from different sources without following up on them or checking the information. In our case the " complaint " was taken from our BBB page. We resolved the complaint long time ago, but they wouldn't update it on their website. Websites like this should be banned since they are hurtful to businesses/consumers. If you run a complaints website, make sure to check your information. Not just still it from other websites.

Complaints board's complaints are always useful as well as the website itself, especially if you want to see the reputation of a company and what other people say. It's also clear what company cares and what doesn't; just judging by how often they answer, how many unresolved or resolved complaints they have and what they offer to resolve an issue. It's like a litmus test and is definitely reliable. I trust them.

Our website is listed on Complaintsboad.com with fake reviews. Some arepulled from this bugus site and some are completely fake or unverfied.

May 12th 2023 update:

We did some research and quickly found out that ComplaintsBoard is not headquartered in Riga, Latvia, as is claimed on its website.

It's actually registered and run by someone that lives in Moscow, Russia.

This is likely the reason why the website owner(s) are unafraid of any legal action.

Given the current war in Ukraine, we have advised all of our customers to stop posting reviews of our company in response to what are clearly online attacks by a few of our business competitors on the ComplaintsBoard website.

ComplaintsBoard earns some of its revenue from ad impressions.

Btw, the response from ComplaintsBoard to our review is utter nonsense.

Victory to Ukraine and let's hope these Russian scammers that run complaintsboard.com are enlisted into the Russian army - as cannon fodder.

----------------------

Complaints Board is a scam website, run by a guy from Estonia.

A couple of our business competitors have written "reviews" of our TEFL program on Complaints Board, and have then followed up with anonymous comments.

None of the reviews were written by any of our customers.

When someone adds a comment and has verified their email address with Complaints Board, they have a "Verified customer" label displayed by their comment.

Anyone can verify their email with Complaints board and then become a "Verified customer" without ever purchasing the product or service that they are commenting on or reviewing.

We are assuming that there would be a hell of a lot more complaints written online about Complaints Board, but most business owners are just too afraid to voice concern in case of reprisals from the guy from Complaints Board.

We feel that it is our public duty to warn people about the website.

I imagine that some of the reviews and comments about some companies and individuals are merited.

From our experience though, we would never base our purchasing decisions on the info published on Complaints Board because we know that it is a hotbed for competitor attacks.

This is a real issue because you might be convinced into purchasing a poor product or service because the company has convinced you that its competitors are scams or not legit.

The solution to the issue would be if Complaints Board really did check each and every review to see whether it is from a real customer or not.

That would involve too much hard work and it is just easier for Complaints Board to see its traffic increase by publishing anything and everything.

Btw, we have seen a lot of reviews from people that have said they will proceed with a legal response.

The website owner makes it very clear that anyone can feel free to go ahead and do this, and that he is not intimidated by legal threats.

This is a mistake.
You can take the owner to court.
He is an EU citizen and is bound by EU privacy and data laws.

Every time I tried to reply to a comment says.
"SITE IT NOT WORKING"
The response I received was infantile and disturbing and now I cannot answer the accusations and the person blamed my mother for their own shortcomings.

According to statistics, more than 90% of customers use review websites before making decisions to purchase something. These are my personal recommendations. Never ignore what customers say.
My first website to check if there're any complaints about a certain company is complaintsboard. I recommend you to always do the same, especially if you're gonna spend a lot. Check what other people complain about and check if a company tries to resolve their issues. If yes then there's nothing to worry about, if no, then no one guarantees you won't be one of those complainants.
I guess it's their solid position, but actually lack of positive reviews makes this website trustworthy to me as they reflect the real situation and how a company treats their clients.
People rarely write reviews when they are happy. There's nothing to talk about if everything is perfect.
But if a company screws up, we usually do everything to let everyone know about it. And it's the company that should improve this situation and resolve your problem by any means. Not you.
So I really think that websites like complaintsboard are useful and should exist to avoid misunderstanding, fraud and deception. Those complaints can become a really important part of your shopping experience.

My wife has a dog breeding business with hundreds of satisfied clients. They love her and their puppy. But sometimes she decides that a prospective client is not someone she could work with, or is not in a position to properly care for puppy and refuses to let them adopt one of hers. These few people post abusive rants at Complaints Board. It is disheartening to see human beings venting their anger and hate in public. Complaints Board is a dumb idea! Ignore the vitriolic outbursts for which it provides a forum.

Just by letting any tom, $#*! and harry post comments about a company or a product without listening the other side, is a very nasty and vague way to malign companies and products. Complaints Board is in no way has any license or empowered to act as a judge to pass judgement on one sided comments by allowing such posts to be displayed without knowing about the issues and without hearing both the parties.
People have a habit of posting negative reviews more than positive reviews. ComplaintsBoard acts as a fuel to project the negative reviews posted by planted and fake people to purposely malign the good companies.
This system is itself defective causing more harm that being useful. Such companies should be banned as they do not serve any useful purpose.

The website should be more transparent, wan't lie and make people get more trust...

This site should be illegal. Absolute lies posted about so many businesses. You can't even respond or it will rank higher in the search engines. Hopefully someday they go out of business. Read real reviews on Google, Facebook and the BBB where customers are actually verified!

You can put up your complaint but you may have them respond back in language bordering abuse. This is if whoever doesn't agree with or approve of your situation. You can't remove your own complaint so before you decide to use them just beware.

Complaints Board is a complete online scam. It is a forum for sociopaths, internet trolls and bullies to have a free space to degrade any business or person they choose.
Not only does the site attempt to extract money once the review is published, so does the poster. Usually the poster hits all of the other sites too then demands money.
Complaints Board allows people to assault people's sexuality, character, looks, anything these bullies can think of. Then the company sends it out to other associated sites so that the person or business has this trash show up at the top in every search engine.
This is total blackmail and character assassination. I cannot believe a class action suit has not yet been filed.

Complaintsboard.com is for sure one of the new bred of online scams, Some faceless creature posted about me and a company. When i contacted Complaintsscam they gave me the run around asking for a URL, then requested I contact the online ghost and get him to remove it... Then they emailed an option saying they could help to take down the post BUT there would be "Cost involved" theres the hook... I can believe ICANN's and the attorney general lets this crap go on. 100% scam, zero credibility. Shut it down!

They seem to allow of a lot of obvious fake reviews/complaints about people and companies. This does not seem to be a reputable site.

I don't know how the US gov didn't shut this site down already, it is filled with fraudulent posts that they use to blackmail people and business all over the world to get them to pay a fee to remove these posts...

This website allows contributors to harass individuals even though it breaks their terms of use and members conduct!

I've reported this and still nothing has been done about it. I am now seeking a law firm to act on my behalf.

It's even more suspect that they have domain protection for ICANN Whois records. They protect their address!

I would advise everyone to read reviews on ComplaintsBoard before deciding anything. It's trustworthy. With honest opinions. What's interesting is that people share their negative experience only to show companies' worst sides. That's why I consider them to be reliable.
I really thank them so much for existing.
