Complaints Board is owned by Dzianis Beltyukov, in Riga, Latvia. Beltyukov is Russian, and beyond the reach of U.S. Courts. Complaints Board lost a lawsuit to a legitimate complaint site in Arizona via summary judgment, by not even showing up to dispute the charges of theft and fraud. Numerous legitimate merchants have tried to get the FBI to close the site due to egregious death threats and false legal information posted on the site. Up to 90% of the postings are either stolen, made up by writers in Russia, or posted by competitors and disgruntled employees, often taking multiple identities to “pad” the complaints. Making decisions about a merchant based on Complaints Board comments is, simply, believing lies. There are posts on the internet that claim Complaints Board is owned by Elizabeth Arden cosmetics, many calling for a boycott of Elizabeth Arden. The Melbourne ISP that hosts Complaints Board says they have never heard from Elizabeth Arden, and that their payments are from Latvia, and the emails from the “editor” are from gmail, at:
[email protected]. We have contacted Arden a number of times and they will not answer questions about Complaints Board, which makes one wonder what their involvement is? We think it is premature to boycott Arden until more facts are known. If Arden was really involved, they would not have allowed two other lawsuits to go unanswered, thus going to summary judgment against them. We’re guessing CB themselves started the Arden rumor to take the focus off of their real identities, and we would encourage Elizabeth Arden’s General Counsel to get out in front of these rumors immediately. If Arden was involved, the plaintiffs that won judgments would have immediately gotten them, and this is not the case at this posting.
