Hi Christi,

I just posted about this topic on BeadHell.
I am curious how something like this is supposed to work?

How is it going to be monitored? I can see a lot of problems with this.
Although it'd be nice to have a list like that, how can you be sure you're
getting the "real" story?

or what if you end up on there out of spite? And didn't do anything wrong?

You might want to check out http://www.ripoffreport.com/ it's free and you
can post pretty much any gripe you have with anyone doing biz either on the
internet or regular retail.
It's amazing how many con artists there are out there. This forum also
allows the company/person being complained about to file a rebuttal, so the
reader can be the judge of who was right/wrong etc.

Just my 2 cents, hope this helps!

Thank you for posting this. This looks to be a much fairer way of going about
it.

something I did not do.

Yeah. I know a few people who would love to see my name there. (Even though
I'm honest, and fast about paying)

Unfortunatley, I've seen the wrong side of ripoffreport as well, and the
people monitoring the site, havent been very forthcoming. I've had friends
be listed as complainers, when someone else used their name to file the
complaint.


I belong to a yahoo group called swappers_friends, a database is kept and
people list swaps etc that they had been in with the person. People are also
given the chance to give a rebuttal etc.

The group is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/swappers_friends/

Betsey
