Consumers Union Wants You to Share Your Story
dcgirl20006 writes "Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports launched a new site to help consumers across the country who are dealing with phone bills, cell phone contracts, cable packages and Internet scams.
Consumers experiencing problems are not alone. The site is searchable and consumers can find one that most closely matches the situation in which they are in. We don't have all the answers to every problem consumers may face, but some consumers have shared solutions and suggestions."
Does this work with IRS tax issues? I'd love to post my issues with the IRS in there

...can complain early?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am ABDULLAH ALI ABULLAH i am from the republic of YEMEN,but live and work in Egypt,i am the acountant general of Arab Bank plc,and i am on a special assignment to Nigeria-Arab Bank for one year,to run the audite programme.
I have urgent and Very confidential business proposition for you.In august 29 1998, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National petroleum Corporation, Mr.Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars)this branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in our Bank. This sum of US$20,000,000.00 has carefully been moved out of the bank to a security company for save keeping purpose . No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5 (five)years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will want you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin. I am writing you because as a public servant (accountantwith the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than $1million. I therefore want to present you as the next of kin (the rightful owner of the fund) so that you can be able to claim it with the help of an accredited attorney. Finally, I urge you to provide immediately your full names, phone/fax numbers and your current mailing address so as to enable us commence the paperwork that will present you as the rightful beneficiary (nextof kin) of the fund. As soon as the money is ransferred to you 70% is for me while 20% is for you.then 10% will be set aside for any expences during the transaction.
Please reply immediately via my Email address. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details that will help you understand this hitch free (risk free)transaction.
Thanks and God bless.
ABDULLA ALI ABDULLAH
This kind of witch hunt is totally unbalanced! We need a Corporations Union (independent of Congress) that has a list of consumer tricks to get out of paying bills. Like bankruptcy - they're liable to claim that getting sent to Iraq is making them pay their bills too late to keep their spouse and kids heated through the Winter. Post your list of corporate concerns, like not enough return on campaign bribes, below.

make install -not war
Oh no! It's their servers igniting!
I expect to see a severe downgrading of the reliability of whatever brand it is they use in the next Consumer Reports, or at least the addition of a column for 'Slashdot survivability'.
Perhaps someone should post a helpful article on their site, when it finally comes back up.
I'm not wrong. You haven't thought about it hard enough.
I was about to dismiss online negative feedback based on your post, when I realized that there will always be disgruntled reviewers of online feedback, and so I can't give any weight to your negative feedback on negative feedback.

The shuffle was erratic?
Think about what was just said.

Thanks for providing the link - I can't believe I've never been to to that site before!
Culture is more than commerce
walmart told me so.
Meh.
1) Let everybody know about problems and share solutions. Build big database.
2) Once the site is actually useful, switch to a subscription model.
3) Profit
