Woman Fined For Bad Review Striking Back In Court

Posted by Soulskill on from the jury-to-be-fined-for-unfavorable-verdict dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here's an update to the earlier Slashdot story about KlearGear.com 'fining' a couple for a bad review left four years earlier on RipoffReport: Not only did KlearGear report this as a bad debt to credit reporting agencies, but KlearGear is hiding behind a DomainsByProxy domain name to making finding their real identities harder. Now Public Citizen is representing the couple and is going after KlearGear for $75,000. The TV station that broke this story, KUTV, now reports that RipoffReport will likely be on the couple's side. The BBB and TRUSTe say their logos were used by KlearGear.com without permission, and credit reporting agency Experian is also investigating."

    All of the company staff will get IRS jobs. They've shown the proper mindset.

    I don't think so. A lot of people are into that sort of thing.
