Re: Express Press Release www.express-press-release.com

Hey guys

What you guys are doing here surely is very beneficial to the general public, but it seems sometimes you are publishing negative information for legitimate businesses and organizations…just like the case with EPR appears to be, here you should have something been misled, in my view ...

express-press-release.com is nothing but just free press release distribution site, just like marketwire.com, prweb.com, prleap.com, free-press-release.com and tens of other smaller free press release distribution sites. It is regularly used by tens of thousands of legitimate businesses and individuals every month, including our lawyer firm, from time to time…
If ever you or any of the members of this forum have seen information there that could be classified as negative is, once again, nothing but a press release submitted by an individual or a company and the only party responsible for the content is solely the author.

And not last, EPR disclaims any Page Ranking material or content published on the site...

What's the fraudulent story here?

Thanks

Al Bismark,

You asked the question What's the fraudulent story here? Well, from the naked eye, there appears to be no fraudulent story. One can conclude that the post is a smoking mirror. We should have provided some explanation.

What the post is trying to point out is that we have observed a significant number of fraudulent sites issuing Press Releases using the website Express-Press-Release.com Like so many other innocent businesses or business models around, scammers are exploiting any vulnerability. Careerbuilder.com , Monster.com and qchex.com and other sites are perfect examples of business models that have exploited.


I will amend post to reflect your concerns and move it to the Consumer and Business Alert category of this forum.

Thank you for pointing this out to us.
