In case you’re not familiar with Ripoff Report, it’s a
consumer complaint website where anybody can post a “Ripoff Report” about any
business or person. The only assurances of truthfulness required by the website
are a valid email address!
If you’ve seen the four year old (from 2008) posting
about PhonyDiploma being part of the FBI please know that is NOT TRUE. We are
not, nor have we ever been part any government organization.
The SAME POST was also submitted to four other fake
diploma sites at the very same time.
Any, none of those other sites (yes, our competitors) are affiliated
with the FBI either
Unfortunately, once posted, the Ripoff Report is there
forever — and pages on the Ripoff Report have an uncanny ability to high with
search engines, especially Google. Even though
we have tried to have the original post removed by offering full verification
of licenses and legal paperwork, Ripoff Report won’t remove the original complaint.
Why? Well, Ripoff
Report claims it is immune from liability due to a federal law known as the Communications
Decency Act. This law says that websites are not liable for the content
posted on their websites by third parties. (The law makes sense to a degree—if
every time a person defamed another person in a Yahoo! chat room imposed legal
liability on Yahoo!, there would be no chat rooms.)
Unfortunately, the law also protects websites like Ripoff
Report that refuse to remove illegal content even after receiving notice that
certain content posted on their sites is false and requests it’s removal and declares
the report defamatory.
Such is the state of the internet. Please consider reviewing other review sites
for a more-accurate picture of the nature of our product and service.
