Woman Fined $3,500 For Writing Bad Review Of Business
LatestPeople. When we’ve come to a point in time when good citizens are no longer free to bitch about unsatisfactory shopping experiences online, utilizing a multitude of caps locks words and lengthy rows of exclamation points, well, that’s the time when you can just stop this crazy rock and let me off.
A woman in Utah is facing a $3,500 fine (!!!!) after doing what pretty much most of us do when we have something to say about a business—leaving an online review.
In 2009, Jen Palmer’s husband bought her some Christmas gifts from KlearGear.com. When the merchandise still hadn’t arrived a month later, PayPal closed the transaction and refunded her money.
Palmer tried to contact the company to inquire about the order, but couldn’t get in touch with anyone. Frustrated, she wrote a critical review of the company on RipoffReport.com and moved on.
OK, so far sounds pretty normal! Except, oh wait. Holy shit.
