Kleargear goes into social media hiding

Remember KlearGear.com? It’s the novelty company that charged a woman $3500 and ruined her credit record after she complained to ripoffreport.com about Kleargear’s poor service. Since the news broke last week, KlearGear has protected its Tweets and canceled its Facebook page.

In addition, even though KlearGear has a “TRUSTe Certified Privacy” emblem on its home page, TRUSTe tweeted this morning that “@KlearGear is NOT @TRUSTe certified.”

And over at Popehat.com, Ken White reports that KlearGear.com had been displaying a BBB Accredited Business logo and BBB Rating A+. The BBB says that KlearGear.com is “not a BBB accredited business and the BBB rating is not A+.”

According to Inc.com, KlearGear’s revenues for for 2012 were $47.5 million.
