We believe that keeping you informed and connected is important. As such, while you can
always uncheck any
box now or modify the settings from your account dashboard at a later time, we have opt you in
to receive
communications relating to the following:
- Another victim may want to compare notes offline.
Periodically we
receive communications
from other consumers, just like you, who have been ripped off by the same person that was
complained about
in a Report. Sometimes these people want to reach out to authors in order to discuss their
similar problem
so maybe you can work together. We do not give out your information, we email
you
their information
so you can contact them if you choose to do so.
- A lawyer or consumer advocate might want to help you. We
receive
communications from
lawyers and consumer advocates who are either representing a victim or are otherwise
considering a class
action case against people or businesses that are complained about on our website. They
often want us to
pass along their contact information to you so that you can decide if you are interested in
contacting them.
Who knows, maybe they will be able to help you too. These lawyers might be able to write a
letter for you to
help or to file a lawsuit or include you in a class-action.
- A TV news station, magazine, newspaper or other media may
want to reach
out to you in
order to run a story about a situation that you have complained about to help further your
cause. Ripoff
Report constantly receives information requests from the media.
- A government agency might be looking into the situation that you
complained
about. Ripoff
Report constantly receives information requests from different government agencies who are
looking into
situations that have been complained about on Ripoff Report. Ripoff Report, since inception,
has made
efforts to helped about every government agency there is with investigations into bad actors
or connecting
them with victims of bad actors to help them get their money back or to prosecute those
committing criminal
activity. We like to believe that Ripoff Report is responsible for hundreds if not thousands
of convictions
by law enforcement.
