ComplaintsBoard Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company appears to be significantly tarnished by numerous negative sentiments surrounding its customer service practices. Many customers express concerns about the reliability and credibility of the complaints board, citing issues such as the prevalence of false reviews, lack of verification, and inadequate responses to legitimate concerns. While some users appreciate the platform for its role in exposing poor service, the overwhelming sentiment suggests a distrust of its processes and the potential for defamation. This has led to calls for greater accountability and transparency in handling complaints and user-generated content.

Complaintsboard is one of the best review websites. They are really good at what they are doing and they also keep on monitoring all the complaints.

Got my money back
March 20, 2015

I am really happy with their service. I've posted my complaint against a local store and got my money back. I was unable to get it back before the posting as the owner refused to even listen to me. I've got my refund within 2 days - and considering that the services are free, this makes complaintsboard.com a really valuable website!

Great website, with tons of complaints. Probably one of the oldest and most popular websites of it's kind. Perfect tool for finding useful information about shady companies.

ComplaintsBoard lets anyone say anything. They do not even validate. I responded several times to a bad review with no answer. What they do is that they have another company with different name charging people to remove complaints.

DOESN'T ANYBODY REGULATE THIS KIND OF COMPANIES?

Complaintsboard.com is for sure one of the new bred of online scams, Some faceless creature posted about me and a company I did not even work with. When i contacted Complaintsscam they gave me the run around asking for a URL, then requested I contact the online ghost and get him to remove it... Im not even in business, retired for 7 years. Then they emailed an option saying they could help to take down the post BUT there would be "Cost involved" theres the hook... I can believe ICANN's and the attorney general lets this crap go on. 100% scam, zero credibility. Shut it down!

PS; The people here that give this company 5 stars are either part of the complaints board scam team or some petty individual that just wants to rant. If they had a legit issue they would use a legit form of recourse... All scams..

This website is a complete SCAM. Complaintsboards.com DOES NOT REVIEW the comments as stated. They let any person with access to a computer put up false statements. Complaintsboard.com should be reviewed. Some of the comments I read were horrifying with Inappropriate words and name callings. I would not trust this website.

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.

This "website review" site is a scam. They partner with deletereviews.com who goes by several other names to try to get you to pay to remove the negative review from their site. I have contacted complaintsboard.com about removing a fallicious and defamatory review and just keep getting the run around. A class action is being initiated with the attorney general.

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!

complaintboard.com and deletereviews.com work together to try and get you to pay money to remove bogus reviews from their website. In my opinion, that is actually the legal definition of EXTORTION! They should be put behind bars.

Thanks to a complaint i've posted on complaintsboard.com, i've managed to get a refund, from the company, that was refusing to refund me the money i've paid for their fake services for more than a month! Will definitely advice people to post complaints there, if you got fooled by any fake companies.

The site is full of plagiarized "complaints" from other sites for starters. Whomever "runs" the site which is not in the USA uses third party contacts within the US to "offer" removal of complaints from their site for a fee, normally over $1000 for such a "service". Looking through the site shows how they target smaller companies and how many of those complaints posted are other sites and sometimes you will even find complaint copy and pasted to another company. There are truthful and helpful review sites on the internet but this is not one of them. It is nothing more then an extortion site. Look for yourself doing a search. I'm sure they have trolls on here telling how wonderful the site is, but the truth is out there, easily seen.

ComplaintsBoard is a FAKE review site, scammily posting fake reviews with a grin while posing as a legitimate looking review site (like ripoffreport). However, ComplaintsBoard is not ripoffreport, it is fraud. It is a way for some people safely hidden in their home countries to extort money from entrepreneurs in other countries. And Google does not care.

As everyone else has mentioned (but Google unfortunately ignores), ComplaintsBoard is a scam site that preys on small and medium sized businesses. Want to see proof on this very page? Scroll down to look at the 4 positive comments that were left on 12/20/13-12/21/13.

The good part is the owners/writers are so dumb they can't even write realistic looking good reviews (any more than they can write their fake negative reviews which usually reference services or products the businesses don't even deal in or are really vague like "I was really confused by this company, can anyone help, bad company").

Short story: Complaintsboard.com owners are pure scum.

This site does not monitor the complaints that are posted, we have had a fake complaint made about our company saying we had taken money and hadn't delivered an order, we had not received order or money and don't even deal in USA, there is no way of deleting the fake complaint, we have complained with no correspondence back to us. Reading other posts from people in the same situation who have mentioned the complaints board and subsidiary associated companies are extorting money from people to remove these fake comments.

What I find interesting about some people who are complaining about complaintboard.com is you are the business people are complaining about.
So why should I take what you say at face value.
When you are the ones people are complaining about.
Sounds to me that some people are bitter and lashing out.
Because there are complaints on other websites, they are really guilty of committing the thing's that are being said.
Also there is evidence to show a lot of the company's are not good.
We can also do a survey and talk to your customers to see if there happy with your service.
What I thinking that there is some people who don't like some of you companies.

The complaintsboard.com is a scam completely false people adding complete nonsense up there

This is the email of the editor of this board *******@gmail.com I thin kthat says it all it is not a legitimate review or complaints board and as people have said they are targeting companies by adding single compaints and posting them. The complaint about my company could not be any falser we do not even trade in the area they said we had stolen from them. SO who ever is making these things up should read a more. Defo should be removed from the Internet

This was the reply I received when telling them they were wrong

"Unfortunately, we do not remove posts from our website."

I will wait for the one asking me for money next

Scam website, writes fake bad reviews about companies and tries to get said company to "pay to get it removed". If you browse the site you'll see many mid-small companies with one review with the same generic bad review as the first review. Also has been noted by others that the site itself is unsafe to use, pop ups and such. Avoid
