Rip-off Report:
RipOffReport.com
CORRUPT and UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESS PRACTICES..
Let's See how high this page will go in Google. Since it
has the same type of keyword text and meta tag keyword violations that Rip
Off Report uses against business owners they are trying to extort money
from.
Rip Off Report will post Bogus complaint pages and get them ranked
high in Google web search pages, usually right under the website that the
Bogus complaint is about. Then they contact the owner and offer to take
the page down for a Extortion fee.
Google lets RipOffReport.com get away
with the practice of spamming their search engine and lets them use
branded, copyrighted names in their meta tags. You can check the by
going to on of the complaint pages then left click your mouse and right
click on view source. Then in the meta tag you will see the name of the
business in the meta tag along with other info about the business.
Here is an example with the names highlighted bold and red. Let me
explain how this works, you type in any combination of those words while
trying to find (All Tune and Lube) and you will find more than just
their information, you will also see the Ripoffreport pages that have
been posted and spammed.

Now here are the problems with these
post besides the FACT that Rip Off Report wants you to pay to have the
page removed.
- No one investigates the reports to see if any of the
claims are true.
- A disgruntled employee could have posted the
complaint.
- RipOffReport Could have posted the complaint to extort a
payment.
- A competitor could have posted the complaint.
-
- Web companies that get paid to try and
remove complaints can post them.
- And then the biggest reason: No one really know
who posted the complaint or if it's real at all.
- Plus they are costing
business owners everywhere millions of dollars each year.
Now do a Google search and type in
Rip Off Report into
the search box, then take a look down the pages of all the
complaints about them. There isn't a website or business that even
compares to the complaints that RipOffReport.com has listed against them
in the search engines. From fraud to extortion they have it all along
with being sued 40 or more times. They say the owner Ed Magedson, founder
and editor of RipOffReport.com has been the target of (Internet
Terrorist). Gee, I wonder why anyone would want to terrorize such a nice
guy.

Urgent!
LEGAL NOTICE!
Don’t believe anything you read about ANY COMPANY listed on the
infamous RIP OFF REPORT.COM website!
The owner, Ed Magedson, is apparently a WANTED FUGITIVE by the FBI and
also allegedly facing numerous Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuits from
numerous companies WORLDWIDE!
This is how the Rip Off Report SCAM works:
Ed creates very damaging phony “consumer reports” on specific
businesses that are very “reputation sensitive” (i.e.: Doctors,
Service Businesses, Realtors, Attorneys,, Auto Dealers the
Entertainment Industry, etc.). Once he’s complete, he submits the
bogus report through numerous search engines (i.e.: Google, Yahoo,
etc.).
Rumor has it that he, in some cases, will have one of his sleazy
staff members actually visit a specific company to get details on
how the company operates. This helps add validity and drama to his
report. Thus, the Extortion plot becomes even easier! He allegedly
also will take his self created defamatory report, copy and paste
it, and submit it to various other Websites, Blogs, etc., to make it
APPEAR that the company has numerous disgruntled customers, further
damaging the company and, again, increasing his chances of Extorting
money!
PER AUTHORITIES: Don't be duped by this CRIMINAL!
Within 24 hours, anytime a prospective customer of that business does a
web search, which many consumers these days do, they will then see
the defamatory link appear on that business, usually on the first
page of the search engines results, which then will lead them to a
very disparaging report on that business. That consumer may now have
second thoughts from doing business with that particular company
because of the bogus self created report. That’s exactly what Ed
wants to happen! That’s how the scam starts!
So, why is Ed doing this? It’s called Extortion!
What he then does is approach the business he’s damaged (defamed) and
offer’s his fraudulent “services” to remove the defamatory
commentary, which usually means the business PAYING RIP OFF
REPORT.COM about $50,000 upfront plus a $5,000 per month “monitoring
fee” for a report THEY created! What a way to make a living!
Is that a scam or what?
Apparently, many companies have pursued legal action against Rip Off
Report and won!
However, to this day, we are not aware of any judgment obtained against
Rip Off Report that has actually been satisfied. It appears this
company is very good at keeping one step against authorities! Rip
Off Report operates on line and its exact location has been hard to
pinpoint by authorities.
So, what do we know about our ‘friend’ Ed Magedson? A lot!
THE FTC (and the FBI) IS NOW AWARE OF A PATTERN OF
COMPLAINTS AGAINST MAGEDSON AND THE RIPOFFREPORT SITE!
If you have been slandered and defamed on Magedson's sites, extorted by
Magedson or have been the victim of an attempt of Extortion by
him, PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT on:
www.ftc.gov. They are opening an investigation but we need
more accounts of his Extortion illegal practices! The more
complaints the quicker they'll take out his web sites and arrest
him!
FILE A COMPLAINT NOW!
