[This email is spam because I did not opt-in for any newsletters or other mailings from Ed or his Ripoff bunch to my knowledge. And there was no opt-out at the bottom. It was a straight spam email. See the CAN-SPAM act. You know he is getting blocked after this one…]

Last, but not least, read this link from SEO MOZ’ legal eagle about Ed and his RipOff bunch:


SEOmoz | The Anatomy of a RipOff Report Lawsuit

is that Ed Magedson has indirectly told you that he is responsible for ….. Ed Magedson is responsible for a huge loss of business for my company since 2003. …. Proof of ROR’s SEO tactics violations on Google’s terms of service.3. …

SEOmoz | RipOff Report Responds: You Be the Judge

And that’s all I have to say about Ed Magedson and his RipOff. Make up your own mind, come to your own conclusion.

But I tell people to go file your complaint on the dozen-odd other complaint forums rather than Ed’s. There’s a great deal more support from the communities there for whatever scam you were involved in. Using a third-party to try to get your money back is almost as effective as the BBB (who has a success rate of less than 50% refunds if you get anything at all.) Don’t throw good money after bad.
