The reviews of prosper were found using the search engines and reading articles written about prosper. We do run a company that protects reputations but we do not represent Prosper.com as a client. The review was done because of an article I read about Prosper.com and thought it may be interesting to write about. I guess our review seems to be a little off and I think I have made that known in this thread. The new review will actually be a more negative toned review as I have found other articles searching this website that I wish I would have found before. Our reputation company is smarter than to write client reviews especially in this day of transparency. I think I have been more than fair keeping up with this thread and hope to make the new review reflect the views of the people as a whole instead of the few customer reviews I read. I look to receive more information and hear more stories about your experience with Prosper.com to help with the review. I have edited the review already to not mislead any others who may be reading the review and thinking about using Prosper. I am keeping the comments section open on the page and I am going to try to get a new review done soon.
its not a joke that prosper has tried to stifle negative views. here is an example
http://www.chillingeffects.org/domain/notice.cgi?NoticeID=16686and the response to that if interested.
http://prosperreport.appdesigns.com/letter_to_james_gale.pdfthe owner of these forums has been contacted by prosper's lawyers over the years as well. fortunately, he came through unscathed.
another example of stifling negative views is the fact that a great number of people here have been suspended on prosper simply for posting a link to this website in their profile.
so in summary, there is whole side of prosper that it may be diffucult to uncover. this site is one of the few places where you will see that other side, or perhaps the only side after you remove all of inflated marketing prosper puts out.
