RIPOFF REPORT VICTIMS!
What to do if attacked by Ripoff Report, Ultra Dns, Puregig, Prolexic [snip]

1. Ripoff report was set up to be a site that is beneficial to consumers, but it is much more than that as you know. it is set up to also extort money from companies. Ripoff Report (ROR) takes anonymous complaints with no regard to the truth,slander or harassment and post them on the internet.

Then ROR puts YOUR COMPANY name in Meta tags and submits it to search engines. (with out your permission). That is how it gets a high rank on search engines. Now if anyone types in your company's name in a search engine Ed's ROR pops up. Only way to get fixed is to pay ed. that is extortion!Join ed's consumer advocacy program(LOL).

2.Contact Arizona attorney general office.
RE: CIC 04-21090 Magedson, ED
(602) 542-5763
[snip]

3. Contact his service providers and sue them. they have a responsibility for their clients. If one of their clients had a site that promoted terrorism or child porn they would remove and have liability for servicing site,servers, or provide bandwidth. IF they didn't know about the content in site then they would stop doing business with ED. Now, ROR is not as harsh as the two examples above,but it is harassment, slander,liable and illegal. If ED or the service providers throw up The 1996 act that suppose to protect free speech on internet it does not fit in this situation , but it does not cover extortion or any other illegal activities. Why do service providers have TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENTS or ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES with there customers. It is very clearly spelled out what they tolerate. Your lawyer should have filed day with this one unless they like long drawn out legal battles. You can call personally too sometime you cna do more than lawyers.

    **yawn** your rant is getting quite boring. dont you get it? nobody cares, nobody believes you. the only reason you are whining like a little girl is because you were exposed as crook(well deserved im sure) i can picture you sitting in the corner throwing a temper tantrum and holding your breath. its your own fault perhaps you should look into being an honest company.
    Realize this, with these juvenile rants all you are doing is giving RoR publicity and hits, you make people more curious about RoR and they go there and expose more backwards companies.

    *Yawn* Readers here's the routine. Someone complains about the rip-off report. ROR plant and shill Silent Assassin comes flying out of the closet calling them crooks. He gets slapped with evidence he is wrong, then still calls others liars while he turns around and pretends to be someone else by using a different ID. He gets called out for using multi-handles, and then he says they are "business associates". Do a search here for other rip-off report complaints. Silent can be found singing the same babble on all of them.

    Silent_Assassin (08/19/2005)      
    you've been defeated, mental. time to take your walk of shame. you have not provided proof on:
    1) im a plant
    2)that i was pretending to be someone else(i explained the situation to you and ADMITTED it was me if i was trying to fool people i wouldnt have done so)
    3)still havent provided proof that rebuttals were deleted.(if you were smart you would have screen printed when you posted a rebuttal that what most people do)
    all ive done is show people that the people that complain about ror are ones who were exposed as crooks and are crying about it.

    until you provide ALL proof, you need to walk away while you still have an ounce of dignity... more >>

    "Most" people screen print what they type in a forum first before submitting?? So on the last ROR complaint where admin had to delete your last over-the-top posts, you can show us "screen shots" of what you had posted here huh? Wacko!

    Slimjim (08/19/2005)      
    BTW liar, you did NOT admit it was you. You said Superscoop2005 was a "business associate" who was working with you at your office. You can't keep your own lies straight yet you come here calling others liars wanting "proof"? Get bent loser.

    Silent_Assassin (08/19/2005)      
    oh my god mental, do you not listen? i said I WAS AT A BUSINESS ASSOCIATES OFFICE AND HIS ACCT WAS LOGGED IN. and by the way dumb a$$ its supersource not superscoop. and nice backpedaling, keep it up you just make me look better and better.
    the reason you are backpedaling is because you CANT prove what I asked.
    god im good. go beat your wife or something you're prob better at that than debating with your superior

    Slimjim (08/19/2005)      
    So you hopped on someone elses WORK computer at another office who just happened to be a my3cents member AND loggin in?! A member who also happened to pick an ID that implies he has inside information? Well I guess that explains it-liar!

    Silent_Assassin (08/20/2005)      
    yea moron because he reads posts here too. hes the one i get the majority of my info from. you aren'tto smart are you wife beater? you must be a redneck

    Slimjim (08/20/2005)      
    So it's "supersource" who is ed, and you're just the mindless drone.

    what a surprise! Attorney crimi-nal speth had a lot to say before but she hasn't answered one of the questions that I posed to her. Now, why would that be?

    An Arizona Fedral Judge just ruled that threatened extortion and mail fraud by the Rip-Off Report are predicate acts in well pled RICO claims. (Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations). http://www.bad-business-rip-off.com/12.05Dismiss.pdf

    3/23/06: Looks like they are still out to try and intimidate me from telling the straight story. They've posted personal information about me and my wife online in the hope that I won't continue to tell the world that they are extortionists. on 3/19/06 Magedson published a rip-off report about me for no other reason than to retailiate and harrass me for telling the truth about his so-called corporate advocacy program. At least one Federal Court has ruled that mail fraud and threatened extortion were predicate acts in a well-pled Complaint raising RICO claims against the Rip-Off Report and its owner, Ed Magedson. You know it's true by Mag... more >>

    One of ed service providers . If we all call and send letters we can probably get liability on directnic, but you have to put them on notice first.



    they may not even know about ed extortion scheme. then they will try to distance themselves.

    RIPOFF REPORT

    Why does Ed and his people go all out to get post removed that are negative about ripoff report ,but when someone post a anonymous, slanderous, malicious ,or hurtful Report on RIPOFF Report he says he does not remove any post unless he is paid and you join his consumer advocacy program(LOL). He has went to extremes to get post removed. Why so hypocritical? Well it does not matter we will get the message out about ED and his rip off report. I will not stop until I get ed out of my life!

    I've read the various threads posted on the worldwide web, here, on ripoffreport.com, and other websites and could not be more disgusted by this excuse of a man. In his early day's, extortion was his method of scamming money from businesses. Now he has the sick audacity, the balls to ask for charity!? Are you kidding me? I am a victim of this fool. As he allowed ANYONE to make libelous statements about me and my family, including allowing my personal home address, the ages of my children, deeds to my home, to be posted..... (How about posting your personal living address ED!? Your too much of a coward!) I attempted to rebut the filth Ed (aka ... more >>

    The Quality Report (08/19/2007)      
    I have read all the evidence and have to say that Ed is a ripoff. I started a website for the COMPANIES so consumers can have their say rather than having "good experiences" blocked from sites like ripoffreport. My site is www.TheQualityReport.com

    LilyN (03/21/2008)      
    Here is someone who apparently works in collusion rip-off report. From what I have heard, he actually partners with Ed Madgeson. The

    company he worked for is run down to the ground too. They tried fighting multiple reports against them but failed miserable.

    The man behind the reports was a salesman for them and to their surprise, they found that he was heavily involved in cyber terrorism,

    cyber extortion and was mentally deranged as can be seen from the reports. He was immediately terminated but is still tormenting them. He

    also had a collection agency background.

    Sharp Knife (12/09/2008)      
    Ed Magedson is such a terrible person. Seriously, I truly believe Ed Magedson is one of the worst if not the worst criminal operating in the United States. He finds pleasure if extorting monies from individuals and companies, he writes fake fraudulent listings to post on his Rip Off Report and then demand money from that person or business to remove the posting he created himself.

    This is not a good person, Ed lacks complete integrity across the board. No redeeming values of any kind. The most dishonest person I have knowledge of.

    Sharp Knife (12/09/2008)      
    There is not one single person or business that has the volume of negative complaints agaisnt them. Rip Off Report far exceeds any other person or business with what must be thousands of documented complaints on numerous sites across the internet. You would need a calculator to determine the number of listed complaints agaisnt Ed Magedson and Rip Off Report.

    Jesse James Is Gunning 4 U (01/06/2009)      
    My question is why hasn't anyone shot dirty pool with this guy? He likes to play dirty so why is everyone trying to use above board methods to deal with him? I think it'd be a small matter to hire a PI in AZ to hunt him down and spy on him. The guy has GOT to have dirt on him somewhere and everyone knows how much investigative reporters and prosecuting attornies love to have have that sort of information at hand. It would be a small matter for several peeps to go in together and hire a licensed PI to hunt down and trail this guy. Who knows what they may find out about him? Perhaps Ed is a closet child molestor? Or perhaps something equally as... more >>

    Tinaluvsu (01/30/2009)      
    Ed and Rip Off Report is running a new scam and has been for a while now. He is selling the identity of the ROR poster that made the complaint agaisnt the business. You heard me right, anyone that makes a report on ROR agaisnt a business assumes they are to remain hidden and their names not released by ROR. This is a LIE as Ed has found a new way to make double the money on each post. He extorts money from the business and takes the identity of the person making the ROR report and sells it to the business being reported.

    This ROR has gone from very very bad to the worst possible in terms of dishonesty and criminal. Ed Magedson has no integ... more >>

    Has anyone digested the volume of complaints agaisnt Magedson and Rip Off Report in all venues? There is easily 5000 complaints posted agaisnt Magedson and Rip Off Report a whopping 5000 and thats conservative

    Now, if this was anyone else would google give this ranking ability to a person or business with this incredible amount of complaints that all seem to share a common thread of fraud and extortion??? I didnt think so

    I honestly believe Magedson is the biggest fraud scam on the net worlwide and one of the top 10 criminals in the nation

    Beware of Jack LaLannes Power Juicer purchased on TV from Tristar Products Inc as they will scam you as they did me. They show and price a Classic PJ at a price of two easy payments of $49.90 each and an exorbitant S&H of $44.96. When the package arrives you discover that they have billed your credit card in the amount of $105.85 with a balance due of $59.95 as the 2nd payment. This amounts to hidden extortion. ($49.90 + $44.96 does not equal $105.85. If you pay the balance due and complain you can send it back for the same S&H. That amounts to being overcharged $20.00 plus 2-1/2 times the normal UPS charge for shipping. There are several oth... more >>

    Here we all are getting up early running our business or reporting to work for your employer. Then we have Magedson and Rip Off Report who lies in wait like a thief spending his day eating, writting false reports on thousands of businesses and demanding extortion money to remove his posting.

    Myself, I told Mr. Magedson to stick it up his rear end when he came to me demanding $15,000 to remove a posting that I swear to god he wrote himself. I turned my matter over to the FBI in Arizona immediately to investigate Magedson. Apparently from what the FBI told me when I filed my report is they were already much aware of Magedson and said they h... more >>

    I have a business friend that has been adversely affected by ripoffreports from a partner who lied. Daniel Tzvetkoff is a well-known sham businessman who has been has several criminal allegations against him and he is still able to post false ripoff reports. See:

    http://www.alanat.com/business/net-tycoon-denies-siphoning-off-35m/

    and

    http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/07/16/98451_gold-coast-news.html

    When people like this are able to post reports to the world then it really puts the credibility of sites like ripoffreport.com in question and makes us all vulnerable to damaging, unsupported rantings.
