There is a web site by a company located in the British West Indies which purports to be a consumer advocate. There are several Questions which consumers should ask themselves before initiating contact with such sites.

	Does the site have vested interests not apparent to those using its "services" ?
	Are the companies included in "Reports" provided legitimate avenues for responses to valid complaints? The web site you are visiting right now can help you to resolve your issues! Just contact us through E-mail, postal mail, fax or telephone to allow us to help you!
	Does the site benefit by selling ad space as a sideline business, regardless of the proximity to the so-called "Rebuttals" ?
	Are the "Rebuttals" actually rebuttals, or are they opinions given by anonymous individuals who may or may not be providing complete disclosure of factual and pertinent information ?
	Do consumers really want "Revenge", or just a solution to their specific issues with a particular business ?

Since most consumers probably are not aware that a fee is charged for each "Rebuttal" by a legitimate company, and since hundreds or even thousands of such rebuttals could be necessary to respond to each and every complaint - even if the "complaints" were questionable, or even unfounded, some companies might choose not to respond in this environment.

It seems that the potential for questionable business practices arises with such sites and the informed consumer should be
made aware of these specifics.
