“Their service is invaluable”

Greg R.
3/16/20

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.

“This site has allowed a deranged lunatic to post false...”

This site has allowed a deranged lunatic to post false things about me and my family for years. $30,000 is what we were quoted to have the lies removed. Anyone can post any lie they want with no proof. Its nothing but an extortion scam.

I reported world truth.org to complaint board because I was bullied by two individuals in this social media. One of the representative provided their opinion than resolving the situation. My advice is to try consumer affairs instead because they have very good rating so far.

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!

Tip for consumers:
They do not accept positive feedbacks, but I am not sure it'sa dsadvantage. It's more like their special feature...

The ComplaintsBoard.com should definitely be shut down. The site is full of threats, defamation, libel and the website owner won't do anything to remove defamatory content since he makes money from the Google ads. They also allow users to create multiple aliases to fake negative reviews against companies. Something should definitely be done about this company. That site is harming many innocent people.

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.

After five attempts to provide detailed review information of a complaint (without bashing the subject company) I keep getting the same reply from ComplaintBoard that my review is incomplete, without clarity of missing information. I followed their guidelines. I'm done with this group. Save your energy. Not worth spending a minute it with this site/group.

Complaintsboard.com and Merareview.com are not to be trusted. They are a very shady page and operate in hiding. Together we can shut these guys down for good. They post fake and unethical "reviews" for the sole purpose of obtaining traffic and extortion. They have no care in harming reputation and could care less about their innocent victims. Not fair and balanced web site. Don't even bother clicking on their page... They are a waste

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.

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.

I want to thank this wonderful site for helping me resolve my conflict with my bank. I found out that about 200 dollars disappeared from my account, and the bank denied any complaint of mine, so i decided to use complaintsboard.com and it really helped to communicate with the bank in a different way. I got my money back, and everything is OK. Thank you once again!

I disagree with those people who are posting a bosh here.
I am very thankful to complaintsboard.com for giving me a chance to get a refund from a scam company. I got all the information needed, and I also a had a chance to get in touch with other users.
So, instead of making unreasonable judgements, better rely on your own experience!

For over a month now, I've tried to post the same complaint about Fisher Investments without any success (only wanted to post the one complaint, one time)! To find out what, if anything, that I was doing incorrectly, I E-mailed the editors about a week ago. To date, I have not received a response. I have since learned that this website may not legitimate -- it may be accepting payments from persons and /or companies to not post negative comments about them.

complaintsboard.com is an extortion website! They tell u they will moderate false complaints but this is a straight forward lie! They ask to be paid, for the service of "checking" into complaints that they have submitted. Shame on them. Complaintsboard is a rip off operation.

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.

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!

I'm seeing signed-up users who have less comments and less to no complaints. What am I seeing here, really? Sorry, I'd stay away from this crap.

EDIT: One of their users has been stealing my reviews. Let's get these guys and their staff off our internetz!

I received my first negative review on SiteJabber today for my business from a person whose name I did not recognise as purchasing from me within the past few months. I have also never had anyone contact me regading a problem with an order which is strange.

Weirdly, 10 minutes after responding to the review I got an email into my junk from complaintsboard.com which I have never heard of before. Upon researching it, a lot of people link it to fake reviews and then this company charge you to have them removed. I'm presuming this is what the strange review is that has appeared against my business today - too coincidental not to be.

I can't believe people would try and scam others like this - and leaving fake negative reviews against people's companies. Absolutely shocked!

They never take anything down unless you pay them, its blackmail, they are purely in it for the money. They are only interested in bad reviews, if you post some good information about a company it simply wont get on the website as they cant make any money from that.

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.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Don't be intimidated by the owner or by the people that use the site to write trash about you.
If you decide to take legal action, do it without announcing it online.
It definitely helps when you bring peoples' awareness to the site if you are a company and if you choose to expose the site for what it is.
We placed a warning about it on our website and all of our customers understand that none of the reviews are real and that they have been written by our business competitors.

The staff of this website was very helpful when i had problems with filling a complaint against a local company, that refused to give me a refund, after the wifi router the sold me broke down in 3 days after the purchase. I think most of the people that are complaining about them are either scam themselves, or just don't know how to behave.
