]]> Comment on I Found You on Ripoff Report- You Must be a Rip-Off by Ed Madegson http://blog.beenverified.com/2012/01/18/i-found-you-on-ripoff-report-you-must-be-a-rip-off/#comment-298 Ed Madegson Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:39:56 +0000 http://blog.beenverified.com/?p=416#comment-298 Josh, Thank you for your post acknowledging the issues your company has had in the past, and your intention to correct them. The best thing a business can do is work things out with the consumer, make the consumer happy, and post updates on RipoffReport, as well as their own site, showing how they used good customer service to solve the problem. In this way, the business has a unique opportunity to show it has good customer service while the consumer is protected from behavior that may be interpreted as threatening. We commend your efforts to turn things around with unhappy consumers, and wish you all the best at improving your customer support practices. Please post updates at Ripoffreport.com, so that your customers can see the effort that you are putting forth. - ED Josh,

My name is Danny Testerman and I used your site to find my father and older brother who I had never met before and thought I would never meet. The way that your site lists possible relatives was the exact tool i needed for my search. Not only did i find my Older Brother but I also found a Younger brother and sister that I never knew existed. The process took me just a couple days to cross reference the names of relatives and make phone calls and check out the Social networks like Facebook and Myspace. Its four days later and i am already making plans to meet all of them in person. Its such an amazing story!! And none of it would have happened without you!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! -Danny Testerman San Antonio TX. Dear Support Team,

We agree access is better than ownership, however these #Collcons #Startups do ease the pain of ownership. That is why we started Fun2Rent. If you own a boat, a jet ski, snowmobile, or a similar recreational vehicle, there is a good chance that you use it only for a short time in the year. The remaining days, your vehicle remains idle, without being used by you or anybody else. An easy way to make some extra cash would be to rent out your vehicle to others and earn some money while you are not using it. To do this, the online platform Fun2Rent was created. Owners are using this extra cash to help with payments and tucking a little away to rent other fun stuff on the site. Fun2rent.com is the answer to the high cost, no insurance model offered by traditional rental outlets today. We provide a safe, insured environment where owners can profit on their vehicles and renters save 50% on average. Other Great Collaborative Consumption Startups are Getaround.com, Zimride.com, Thredup.com, Taskrabbit.com, and our friends at ToolSpinner.com. Great Article!

We are launching in 2012 so it would be a great new years resolution. I agree… while having your “Consumer Coop” I suggest you head over to ToolSpinner.com and rent out your power tools.
