RipoffReport.com for finding any negatives about a company before you buy Online!
Here’s an interesting site I came across today, it’s called RipoffReport.com and basically users can post any complaints about stuff they buy online.
Of course, I had this same idea too before so people can post complaints about a certain company. I think this site is great because it keeps the online retailers in check so they give customers better service.
Just think of it as the online e-store version of Yelp, which is review for mostly for local and physical retail stores.
Ripoff Report® is a worldwide consumer reporting Web site and publication, by consumers, for consumers, to file and document complaints about companies or individuals. While we encourage and even require authors to only file truthful reports, Ripoff Report does not guarantee that all reports are authenic or accurate. Be an educated consumer. Read what you can and make your decision based upon an examination of all available information.
Unlike the Better Business Bureau, Ripoff Report does not hide reports of “satisfied” complaints. ALL complaints remain public and unedited in order to create a working history on the company or individual in question.

I found http://www.ripoffreport.com a couple of years ago and agree that it’s a good place to check out before shopping today (cyber monday) or really any day. If you don’t see the company’s name right away, also be sure to try searching by the web address and misspellings of the name. Save yourself the trouble of a bad situation by checking it out BEFORE you buy!!

Interesting idea. But it can be abused easily I think. A competitor may try to submit false accusations and create negative image of the other company.
We all know that companies hire people to write reviews for them on sites like epinions.com and so on. This would be almost the same thing.
