Hoping you guys can help me out here. I have several defamatory and libelous reviews about me and my company on ROR, pissedconsumer and scambook. They are ALL 100% made-up and false and I know exactly who posted them (it's a company who I paid to do marketing for me and they ended up just stealing my money so I reported them to the bbb, consumer affairs, etc). I also posted a review on ROR because I googled the company and saw that someone else had posted about them on ROR (I had never even heard of ROR before this incident). I guess that set these guys off because they've since posted several false reviews about us. These defamatory and libelous reviews are popping up on page 1 & 2 of google when you search on my name, one of my co-worker's names and my company's name.
We are currently consulting with an attorney, but it will cost a small fortune to pursue this with them. We've also consulted with some of the popular reputation management companies, but those are expensive too and we just can't afford to pay them. We are a 100% legitimate and honest company, and we had a sterling reputation before this crook came along. It took us more than 10 years to build our online reputation and now these crooks have ruined it within a matter of days.
We really need help with this, and I would really appreciate it if you guys could help us out with some suggestions, etc. I have proof that these posts are fake (the guy emailed me to tell me that he was going to post negative reviews about us online), and I can point you to several legitimate websites with glowing reviews about our company. We are hardworking people who are the victims here, and we just want our reputations back so we can make a living.
