America’s Troubleshooter
Meet Tom Martino
Tom started answering readers’ consumer complaints in a small-town New York newspaper in 1973. Since then he has reported for TV stations in New York, Florida, North Carolina and Denver, written for the Rocky Mountain News, and hosted the Troubleshooter radio show, helping to get justice for consumers who’ve been ripped off!

Referral List
Tom built his Referral List long before any of today’s “lists” and online review sites. It was the first vetted network of its kind consisting of merchants, contractors and service professionals, all adhering to a strict code of ethics.
Consumer warning
Sleaze Brigade
The flip side of the Referral List. Over his career Tom has exposed liars, cheats and rip-offs, and the Sleaze Brigade names the people and businesses he warns consumers to avoid.
