How to Remove Reviews and Contents from BigScam.org

Finding your business listed on BigScam.org can damage your reputation immediately. The platform’s name alone—”Big Scam”—carries devastating implications. When someone searches your business name and sees a BigScam.org result, they often assume guilt without reading further. Understanding how this platform operates and what removal options exist is critical to protecting your reputation.

What Is BigScam.org?

BigScam.org launched in May 2023 as a consumer complaint platform that allows anyone to post reviews and scam reports about businesses. The site claims to be “privacy-focused” and operates with “the highest standards of security in the world,” yet every complaint posted becomes public and searchable by Google.

The platform claims 3,500+ consumers have used it to file complaints and resolve issues with businesses. Unlike forum-style complaint sites, BigScam.org doesn’t require user accounts—anyone can submit a complaint by providing basic information, and it goes live without editorial review or verification.

The Permanent Record Problem

BigScam.org’s official policy is brutally clear: complaints become a “permanent part of the Big Scam record and will not be removed, even upon request.” This is stated explicitly in their FAQ, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and multiple pages across the site.

Their FAQ states: “To maintain the integrity of this record, posted information on Big Scam will not be removed. By posting information on Big Scam, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Consumer FAQ, and Business FAQ. You also understand that the material you post will become a permanent part of the Big Scam record and will not be removed, even upon request.”

This policy creates unique challenges compared to other complaint sites. Even people who post complaints cannot remove their own content later—which means if someone posts false information or changes their mind, they’re stuck with it permanently.

What BigScam.org Will (Maybe) Remove

BigScam.org will edit specific personal information from complaints if you follow their exact protocol, but they won’t remove the complaint itself. Here’s what they’ll consider:

Personal Information Editing: If your complaint contains personal information you don’t want public—home address, phone number, email, photos—you can request editing by emailing help@bigscam.org from the same email address used to file the complaint.

The catch: You must specify the exact information in a precise format. Their FAQ provides examples:

  • Correct request: “Please remove the following from my complaint: [123 Main Street, Apt 4B, Springfield, IL 62701]”
  • Incorrect request: “Please remove my home address, my name, my phone number”

Requests not following this exact format “will not be considered.” This creates an intentionally difficult process designed to discourage removal attempts.

Account Deletion: You can close your account and remove your personal data by emailing help@bigscam.org. However, complaints and comments you posted remain live on the site forever, even after account deletion.

Resolved Complaints: BigScam.org claims that if a company responds to a complaint and the complainant doesn’t reply within 7 days, the complaint is marked as “resolved.” Their file-a-complaint page states “We delete the complaint. Win-Win for all of us on the internet!” However, their FAQ contradicts this, stating content becomes permanent and won’t be removed. It’s unclear whether “resolved” complaints actually get deleted or just marked differently.

What Doesn’t Work

Direct Removal Requests: Emailing BigScam.org asking them to remove a complaint because it’s false, defamatory, or resolved won’t work. Their stated policy refuses all removal requests.

Legal Threats Without Action: Sending cease and desist letters or legal threats without following through won’t accomplish anything. Like most complaint sites, BigScam.org relies on Section 230 immunity and ignores removal demands that don’t come with court orders.

Posting Rebuttals: While you can reply to complaints on BigScam.org, posting responses often makes the problem worse by adding more content to the page, making it longer and potentially ranking higher in Google.

Section 230 Protection

Like RipoffReport, ScamPulse, and similar complaint sites, BigScam.org operates under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This federal law provides immunity to platforms for user-generated content, meaning BigScam.org cannot be held liable for false or defamatory complaints posted by users.

Section 230 states: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” This means even if a complaint is completely false and damages your business, you typically cannot sue BigScam.org—only the person who posted it.

Contact Information and Response Times

BigScam.org provides one main contact method:

  • Email: help@bigscam.org
  • Response Time: They claim 24-hour response times, allowing additional time on weekends and holidays

Based on their policies, expect minimal help with removal requests but potentially some cooperation with personal information editing if you follow their exact format requirements.

The Hidden Ownership Problem

BigScam.org provides no clear ownership information on their website. Their Terms of Use say complaints are governed by the laws of “[Insert Jurisdiction]”—a placeholder that was never filled in. This suggests the site may be operated with minimal legal oversight or accountability.

The lack of clear ownership, combined with hidden domain registration (likely using privacy services), makes it difficult to pursue certain legal remedies or negotiate directly with decision-makers.
