History

The story behind PissedConsumer.com goes back to 2006 when one unresolved consumer issue led to creating a consumer advocacy platform that would provide a place for consumers to voice their issues and attract companies’ attention.

After experiencing an unpleasant situation when no one could assist him, Michael Podolsky, the CEO and co-founder, and his business partner started a project with only $200 of the initial investment.

A website idea once born in a kitchen somewhere in New York quickly evolved into a community of consumers who share their experiences and seek solutions with brands.

Today, the company grew to over 100 motivated employees who are passionate about the mission to help consumers and businesses build communication bridges and achieve successful outcomes.

Opportunity to Freely Share Experience in Reviews

We allow consumers to write reviews about their experiences, whether positive or negative, and have them published, informing others and bringing attention to their issues. Our platform is free from cherry-picking, duress, or unreasonable content policing. We fight for our users in court, defending their right to freedom of speech and expression.

Zero-Tolerance for Fake Reviews

Reviews on our website are left by real people who share real concerns. We have both a user and review verification process, which helps ensure users’ issues are taken seriously. All content posted on our platform is subject to two layers of moderation (AI-powered and human) using up-to-date review management tools that also check the appropriateness and relevance.

Provide Direct Contact Between Consumer and Company

We provide users with the verified contact details to reach out to customer service to address their issues and concerns. Consumers have an opportunity to contact companies using our directory of verified phone numbers, emails, and executive contacts. Our moderation and research teams manually validate contact details following our Data Verification Methodology to ensure our users get hold of the correct and verified contacts.

Consumer Education

Users of our platform have access to a Help Center of consumer tips, surveys, scam alerts, and a monthly newsletter that informs them of the latest consumer trends and issues, and educates them on consumer rights.

Publicity

We help our users spread the word about their experience via our social media channels. Our reviewers also have a unique opportunity to give voice to their stories via video interviews.
