** Forbes Article

I believe the reason for the inability to put the actual link in might be because, the author's last name is a banned word here on TOTV (Cart...with a 'K').

Sorry for the confusion.

There have been cleanups in 27 countries so far by 4Ocean. The count is at 1,113,228 pounds of trash removed as of this writing. 4Oceans is operating out of multiple countries and employs more than 150 people around the globe.


As for sites purporting to identify 'ripoffs/scams,' here's an example...that's pretty interesting.

Ripoff Report

Quote:
According to the site's Terms of Service, users are required to affirm that their reports are truthful and accurate, but the site says that it neither investigates, confirms nor corroborates the accuracy of submissions.
In other words, you can sign up, just 'give your word' (no one lies about these things, or has an agenda...right? )...to possibly having your opinion posted.
