</abbr></cite>In 2009, Jen Palmers husband bought her some Christmas gifts from KlearGear.com. When the merchandise still hadnt 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.
But as KUTV reports, KlearGear.com resurfaced three years later and has turned Palmers life upside down, slapping her with a $3,500 fine and reporting her to the nations three major credit agencies.
"This is fraud," Palmer told the station. "They're blackmailing us for telling the truth."
Heres what happened. Tucked away in the agreement language almost no one ever reads, was a clause stating that anyone who buys something from the website agrees to never publicly criticize the website.
