Ed creates very damaging phony “consumer reports” on specific businesses that are very “reputation sensitive” (i.e.: Doctors, Service Businesses, Realtors, Attorneys, the Entertainment Industry, etc.). Once he’s complete, he submits the bogus report through numerous search engines (i.e.: Google, Yahoo, etc.).
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!
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!
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.
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!
