rip-offs.org news™ - investigative journalism

Bookmark and Share

We spend each day researching issues of concern using resources that include:
  • submissions from readers who often provide early warnings about concerns and new topics.
  • professional, business, and trade publications that often have important health, safety, or financial information that is not covered in the general media.
  • radio and television
  • whistleblowers
  • government agencies
  • law firms.
  • blogs

Why pay for a subscription when there is so much free information available?
  1. Finding all of the information on a timely basis and establishing the validity requires a significant investment of time that few people have available.
  2. We research and edit information so that you do not have to sort through hundreds of comments on blogs.
  3. If you are not aware of a problem you are not likely to search for information about it.
  4. Our resources include tips from readers that are not likely to be available elsewhere.

One article in our monthly publication could easily save you many times the annual subscription cost of $18.50. Instead of blogging, we review submissions to determine their validity, accuracy, and importance to our readers. We avoid conspiracy theories and rumors. Before publishing information about these submissions, we investigate in order to provide our subscribers with information that is accurate and relevant.

We often contact the organizations complained about to determine the validity of the complaints. Our timely, concise, and insightful reporting can save our readers many times the subscription cost of $1.04 a month (3 cents a day). Instead of reading through hundreds of, possibly trivial or inaccurate, complaints on blogs, rip-offs.org subscribers receive professionally researched information.

We also provide the tools for you to initiate your own investigations through our readers anonymously. If you feel that there is an undiscovered story or a potential for a classaction lawsuit submit your information to us. It may match other submissions. Compiling that information allows us to write a new article, contact law enforcement, or work with attorneys on class action lawsuits.
