Attention:     

John Paul Raygoza

Dear John,

 I am writing to you, because I am very frustrated and disappointed with the way your company has treated me. I have made many requests for your business to rectify the situation I will describe below. Some emails have been shortened for editorial purposes and relavance.

 On 06/24/2009 Ruel Mitchell from your company phoned me, and said he represented Incfortune, a company that specializes in free traffic.

He said Incfortune has been training people to earn an income on the internet since 2001, and are currently earning 3 – 5 million dollars a month.

He asked if the calls can be recorded for quality purposes. When I agreed, he asked me to right down the following;

For a $10,000, Incfortune will do all the work for me, set up a website, drive free traffic to this site, and my weekly net income is guaranteed to be between $3 to $5 thousand dollars per week.

For a $15000 investment I will have an income of $9 to $13 thousand per week

For a    $30,000 investment I am guaranteed an income of $15,000 to $20,000 per week

He was so specific about these figures, that I was becoming convinced that this could be a solid fail proof system. I was still somewhat skeptical.

I asked him if any further investment was required. He said no, as Incfortune specialized in and has perfected a free traffic system of a million visitors, that would be directed to my site every day. I will not have to pay anything extra.

He then asked me how I would like to receive payments if I qualify – cheques or telegraphic transfer. I said TT.

I said I am interested in the $30000 position, but will only have the money in 30 days

I looked   up   www.incfortune.com   and all looked legitimate. At the bottom it even has copyright from 2001 – 2009, giving the impression the company has been around since 2001

I also searched for scams on Incfortune, but could not find any. I reasoned that if they have been around since 2001 and were not legit, somebody would have exposed them.

Little did I know…..

The next day Ruel phoned me, and said if I can come up with $15000, Incfortune will put up the other $15000, and Incfortune can start my business immediately.

Incfortune will keep the money for me that my website earns, until I pay the extra $15000

If I do not make at least $30000 in my first month, I will get a full refund.

This all sounded very legit to me, because Ruel gave me the assurance all calls are recorded and the records of   these calls will be available to me.

He sounded so full of integrity and professional.    I also saw that Incfortune has been doing business since 2001. It must be a reputable company.

 I gave him my credit card details ( Big Mistake)

 When I read the agreement, it was entirely a different story

It only offered 15% refund within 30 days, and did not guarantee any income. It stated it was effort based.

On June 28/2009 I phoned Ruel, and said I am not willing to sign this agreement, as it was vastly different from what he promised me.

He said that the agreement is drawn up by lawyers and does not state the true intent and agreement of the company. It is only drawn up to protect the propriety free traffic methods

When I asked him if I should write his promises on a separate paper and add it to the agreement, he said, no, the company cannot start my website unless the agreement is signed just as it is.

He assured me again that all calls are recorded, so I do not have to be concerned.

 I already paid, so felt committed, but also concerned. I sent this email to James Murphy on 06/28/2009.

(Some emails have been shortened for relevance)
 

Hi James,

I have signed the agreement with the understanding and assurance from Rule Mitchell, that I will recoup my investment within 2.5 weeks from the time I pay the second $15000. Rule gave me his verbal promise, that his company will give me a full refund if I do not recoup my investment in the stated time.

He also said the intent of this agreement is primarily to protect their copyright and propriety methods of marketing.
With this understanding, I submit this signed agreement. If I misunderstood anything, please let me know.

Respectfully,

John 

When James did not refute the above, I wrongly assumed that he was in agreement with what I have written down.

Little did I know, that he was fully aware of Ruel’s lies, but relied on the signed agreement to brush me off should I protest

  Silence can only be equated with fraud when there is a legal or moral duty to speak, or when an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading…. We cannot condone this shocking conduct.. If that is the case we hope our message is clear. This sort of deception will not be tolerated and if this is routine it should be corrected immediately”

  Ruel was so convincing and reassuring, and James did not deny what I wrote. I talked my wife into lending me the extra $15000.

Subject:   RE: IncFortune Service Agreement

Hi James,

After reading this agreement and signing it, I have some grave concerns, and hope you can clarify the situation for me.
Rule Mitchell assured me, that the intent of this agreement is to protect your company from anyone stealing your propriety
copyrights and systems. All the legal terms were drawn up by lawyers to protect your company. What he gave me his word on, is very different from this agreement.

He made the following statements 1. If I do not make my investment back in 30 days, yourcompany will give me a full refund, and not the 15% as per the agreement.

2. Even if I do no work or make no effort, I still will be on the $15,000 to $20,000 per week income level, as your company does the work for me.

3. If I put in effort, I can even earn more than that. He assured me that even though this is not in writing, all calls are recorded and monitored I have not recorded his calls, but I have written down what he said.

 Integrity is of the utmost importance to me, and I cannot be involved in any activity or business that does not have
transparency, honesty and integrity as it's basis.

I do like Rule very much, and I do like the professional look of you website. As I have not seen your products and protocol, or met you in person to verify all of the above, would you please verify that all that Rule said to me, is indeed supported and backed up by your company.

 If all of the above is indeed true as I believe it is, I look forward very much to be part of your organization
On this basis I sign and agree to abide by the agreement

Sincerely,

John

Here

follows the reply from James Murphy;

  Subject: RE: IncFortune Service Agreement

 Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 8:31 AM

John,

  What you have been told by Rule is indeed possible

( Fruad ) We will do majority of the work for you and have you generating revenue very soon. You will be flown out to LA next Monday; I am scheduling your flights today.

Thank You,

  James Murphy

 I received a call from Ana, a very nice sounding Lady. The same as Ruel, she asked if it is okay that this call is recorded. She asked to confirm our names, and the numbers of our credit cards. I stated for the record that Ruel have given me his word, and James has said that is indeed possible to get a full refund if I do not make the $30000 back in 30 days.

 We flew out to   Los Angeles , and were picked up at the airport by a limousine and taken to meet David Sipes, who took us to your   Malibu   Mansion . In spite of my initial misgivings, I felt more reassured. At the Mansion, I asked David if it is true that I can get the $30000 refunded if I don’t make $30000 in my first month.

He gave the same answer as James – that yes, it is indeed possible. ( FRAUD )

I still did not know who the real owner was. Only later the next day did I meet John Raygoza, the true owner of Incfortune.
Nobody I asked told me this before.

 In hindsight, I realize why your identity cannot be made known to prospective clients.   Reading   comments about you and Pushtraffic on the internet, is not conducive to good business. Had I seen that before, I never would have agreed to give you any money.

 Alan gave a lecture on copywriting and said his main website for making money is one on acne removal.

He said refunds are not really a problem, as most people are too busy or forget to ask for a refund. I was curious that Alan himself had quite a few acne. The remedy he was promoting was obviously not working for him.

Only later did I understand why.

You actually laughed when you said the remedy was to put some candle wax on the acne. You said whether what you sell works or not, is not really important, as long as our sales copy is good.

You taught us about advertizing on Google through pay per click. You searched on Clickbank, picked the highest converting sales offer, did not even look or investigate whether it had any merit or truth, and advertised it on Google.

I was disturbed by your lack of integrity, but thought perhaps you just were in a hurry.

 On Friday July 24 we turned up at your office in LA, and I waited for all the work to be done for us as was promised.

When I finally saw that we got the same website and opportunity that I paid $118 for in May, I was deeply shocked.

  You were not there, so I wrote this email to David Sipes.

 Hi David, It sure is a pleasure to get to know you as well. I need some help. When Rule convinced me to invest in your company, on my questioning him, he assured me verbally numerous times, that your company will put me on the $15000 to $20000 per week income level, without any effort on my part. He asked me to write down that your company will do ALL the work for me. He said it is all done by free traffic, and I don't have to invest anything more. He said if I put in effort and spend money on ppc, I will earn more than that. He also gave me his word, that if I don't make my investment of $30,000 back within 30 days, your company will give me a FULL refund. When I got the agreement to sign after I paid, almost nothing of what he promised was on the agreement. When I questioned him about the discrepancy between what he promised and the agreement, he said the agreement was drawn up by lawyers primarily to protect the propriety free traffic methods of your company, and did not reflect the true intent of what your company undertakes to deliver. When I asked him to put in writing what he promised, Rule assured me that all calls are recorded and reviewed by your company. He assured me that he cannot say anything on the phone, that can not be backed up by Incfortune. Rule assured me very emphatically, that he gave me his WORD on this.

He said these recorded calls are available to myself for proof and confirmation. I also expressed my concerns in writing to   James Murphy   when I emailed him the signed agreement back, he stated that it was indeed possible.

Teak is a wonderful person and very helpful. When I asked him about what Rule Mitchell  promised me, his response did not inspire me with much confidence either. He said we can talk outside. I love all the people I have met so far associated with your company I am very impressed with yourself, John and what I have seen so far. Integrity is hugely important to me, because I have to look at myself in the mirror every day. If all Rule said is true, I would love to promote your company and be a valuable asset to you. Right now, I have some alarm bells ringing.

What I need to know, is whether I was lied to and conned by Rule Mitchell just to get my money, or if what he assured me of verbally, is indeed the truth.

Would you please be so kind as to clarify this for me? Warmly and sincerely, John

  ( As of today’s date – No Response from David Sipes .) ( FRAUD )

  An hour later you turned up.

I immediately asked you for a refund.

You refused to honor Ruel’s and David’s verbal promise, as well as James written promise.

You said you will only give me 15% of $30000

 I said this was clearly fraud and Ruel had to be held responsible. You said that you were not going to hold Ruel responsible for his obvious lies. You said that you already paid him the commission.

I could not understand why you would be so comfortable in not holding your sales staff responsible for such blatant lies and deception.

You said that you were aware that your sales people told lies. That is why you protected yourself with the lawyer’s letter.

I asked to speak with Ruel.

You accused me of being a criminal instead, and ask me to leave your office.

I was deeply shocked.

 On July 27 I wrote this email

Subject: RE: IncFortune Service Agreement

Date: Monday, July 27, 2009, 12:07 AM

Hi John,

It was unfortunate that I left your office on such a sour note. With all due .respect, calling me a criminal because my clinic was raided for healing a sick boy with cancer, was a bit low.

 I wish to extend the hand of friendship one more time. If you read this entire email to the bottom, you will realize that the agreement I signed, was attached to this email, I did not fax it through on its own.

This entire email is therefore the basis of me signing your agreement. and that will stand up in any court. I would recommend you show this email to your legal counsel if you have any doubts.

Rule Mitchell did tell the truth as he knew it, simply because you have trained all your salespeople to say the same things. I heard them repeat the same things to other prospective clients while I was in your office. What I now ask of you, is to back up in action what Rule promised me per your instructions. and what was written in this email

You emailed me to visit you office again, and I turned up on 8/5/09 as agreed. In your defense, you did apologize for calling me a criminal  You then wanted to make a video of me saying how much I endorse your company and products, and upload it on my site.

 I said that I cannot lie, as your company or products have not worked for me.

 You replied;

 Quote “

Ethics And Marketing Don’t Mix

.” End of quote.

  David Sipes agreed and said I have to fake it till I make it.

When I refused to lie so openly, you both lost interest and said you will fly me out to LA again at a later date

In spite of all the previous evidence I was deeply disturbed and shocked again that it is your standard practice to deceive the public without any regard to the harm you are causing, and obviously breaking the law.

 On August 12 I wrote this email

Hi JP,

I had some real excitement when I got back.

 My wife threatened to call the police and report the $15000 I borrowed from her as stolen, as what Ruel promised me is almost all lies, and I talked her into it believing what Ruel promised me to be true.

When no reply I wrote this on August 14

Hi J,

I really need help.

My wife has nearly driven me mad.

Would you please, please give me the refund as Ruel promised?

Can you kindly let me know ?

J

As of today’s date – no response.

 On August 15 I wrote this email

Hi John,

I have honestly tried my best to find a solution to

make this work for both of us, but I have come up against insurmountable

obstacles.

When I visited your office on 8/5/09, you asked me to record on video

saying how great this business is to me. When I said I cannot lie, you

said ethics and marketing don't mix.

David Sipes said I have to fake it till I make it. In other words I have

to lie till I make it.

Frank   Liggett   contacted me, and said   Joseph

Murphy   promised him

$15000 to $25000 per week for $10,000 - virtually the same as was

promised me, but I had to pay $30,000.

It was not stated upfront that I have to pay $20,000 extra for a

limousine ride, more luxurious accommodation and half a day extra with

Taek to put up my picture on my website and open a face book account. I

am very capable to upload my own picture and set up my own facebook

account as I have already done that .

Ruel   also

assured me that I have to pay no extra money, as ALL sales are generated

by free traffic.

When it came down to implementing your system, you clearly said the most

effective way to get a list of buyers and sales is by   pay per

click advertising

Had I known that, I obviously would never have had my cc overdrawn by

$600, and borrowed $15000 from my wife to pay for your program.

I have no way of paying extra for advertising.

On top of that, at least 50% of your own adverts are condemned by   Google   as being inappropriate or

irrelevant. That fact did not inspire me with much confidence either.

You have also ignored my repeated request for the contact details for

Ruel.

When I requested a refund from you because it was obvious Ruel had

blatantly lied to me, you asked me if I have received the plane

tickets, the limousine ride, stay at the   Malibu   Mansion , and chef prepared meals.

Nothing was mentioned about the money that was promised to me.

I wanted to straighten this out with Ruel, as he made the promises.

 I phoned your company to get Ruel's contact details. Patrick said

he no longer works for your company. Ana also said he left about a month

ago

When I visited you on 8/5/09, you said Ruel was there to meet me, but had

to leave early.

Your staff obviously told the truth in this case, you obviously lied.

According to the law, if you cover up a known criminal act, you are part

of it.

As I have written when I submitted the signed agreement, I cannot be

involved in anything unethical and without integrity.

As you have stated that you do not regard ethics as important in

marketing, and also train your affiliates and sales staff in deceiving

the public to get sales, I simply cannot encourage anyone to do business

with you, as I do not wish for anyone to be treated the way I have been

treated by you and your company.

I simply am not willing to sell my soul for money and knowingly deceive

the public.

I will be breaking the law, and will make myself vulnerable to be

criminally prosecuted

Based on the above, I cannot promote your products or be part of your

organization with a clear conscious.

There is therefore no way for me to recoup my investment being associated

with your company.

If you can understand this and give me the refund as Ruel gave me his

word your company would do, plus confirmed in writing by Joseph Murphy

that it is possible, plus confirmed by David Sipes at the Malibu Mansion

that it is possible, we can part as friends, and I will forget the

emotional trauma, embarrassment and waste of my valuable time.

 If you feel that my request is unreasonable,  I am sure you

can appreciate that I will have no other option but to draw up the

necessary   documents, and

ask appropriate authorities and media to assist me.

Please understand, that time has run out on this issue.

If you ignore this email or do not respond Within 48 hours in a way that

is fair and equitable to me, by lack of responding you agree that all of

the above is accurate and I am entitled to a full refund, plus

compensation for being knowingly and intentionally deceived and lied to

by your company.

Looking forward to your favorable response.

Yours sincerely,

John

Your reply August 15

John,

We want to resolve this matter and it’s going to require us to talk over the phone with Ruel. What time is a good time for you?

John Raygoza

 When no phone call with Ruel eventuated, I replied on 8/17/09

  Hi John,

I am so relieved you want to resolve this matter.

 I wish to extend one more courteous opportunity to your company, to correct what has become a very unfair and difficult situation for me.

 Here are the simple facts and truth.

 When I submitted in writing to   Joseph Murphy   what Ruel promised me and assured me of verbally, he clearly knew that Ruel lied to me and deliberately and intentionally had deceived me. As part owner or at least CEO, he knew that what Ruel promised me is not standard procedure and he also knew that you would not support that. He chose to be part of the deception, by not telling me and yourself immediately that Ruel had lied and committed fraud.

He was relying on your very clever and highly "slanted in your favor" legal agreement, to use as leverage to brush me off and ignore me should I ask for what Ruel has promised.

David Sipes did exactly the same verbally, by saying it is possible.

They all knew form past experience, that most consumers are ignorant or helpless, and do not have the time, money or resources to fight you in court.

Like you said, you have been in court seven times in one day.

Ana also chose not tell you immediately that something was wrong, when I clearly recorded that a full refund was promised to me should I not make the $30,000 back within 30 days.

You yourself also did not blink an eye when I told you about Ruel's deliberate and intentional deception and fraudulent statements.

Instead, you immediately checked whether I had signed your agreement, which makes it virtually impossible for anyone that has been cheated by you, to win in court.

  American Express   and   Paypal   have a reputation for being on the side of the consumer, and will not stand your deceptive practices. The fact that you do not accept any of those reputable and widely acceptable payment methods that is offered by most reputable companies, is further proof that you know and are comfortable that you and your staff knowingly deceive the public. When I said I will have to ask my cc company to reverse the charges, you looked very smug when you told me I can do that, but I will see the charges back in two days.

You know that   MasterCard   and Visa require a lot more proof, and it is more difficult to get them to reverse the charges.

 

“The confidence a company has in the quality of their products, is reflected in their guarantee”

Quote - unknown

From my 28 years of business experience, I know that to be true.

As you have only 15% confidence in the quality of your product Incfortune, it would have been unthinkable of me to accept your 15% refund offer.

It is the lowest refund offer I have ever encountered anywhere.

 Only Reul's verbal assurance that the agreement is solely to protect your "copy written free traffic" methods, and the fact that he very empathetically gave me his   Word   on it, and Joseph's written statement that it is possible to get the refund, and Ana's acceptance of my recorded statement, made me go ahead.

As of today's date, I have had no free traffic or any sales.

Teak, who is supposed to do the work for me, has also not sent me the passwords to the website.

 This conclusive evidence clearly provides indisputable evidence and proof that it is standard and normal practice in your company to intentionally and deliberately deceive the public on a large scale.

There are at least two people, Yeun Young David and Eileen McCutcheon  among the many that I found on the Internet, that have felt so hurt and damaged by your deceptive actions, that they are considering a class action law suit against you.

This is only a partial list of your fraudulent and deceptive actions that I have recorded and noticed. I will only reveal the rest as a last resort.

 You can prove the above statements and facts wrong very easily.

Give me an immediate and courteous refund within the next 48 hours, and hold Ruel Mitchell, Joseph Murphy, David Sipes and Ana responsible for deliberately and intentionally deceiving me, and or condoning the deception and fraud of Ruel.

In defense of Ana, I must admit that she was the only one that sounded a bit surprised when I mentioned the refund guarantee.

From my experience, she could be one of the few honest people in your office.

 However, I wish to give you and your company one more opportunity to act as ethical, honorable and decent human beings.

If you refuse to do what is right and fair by me and give me the full refund within the next 48 hours, you leave me no choice but to take the next step. 

By refusing to give me the full refund of $30,000 within the next 48 hours, your refusal will serve as indisputable proof, that you and your staff have knowingly and willingly deceived me, and that you also encourage and allow your staff and sales people to do the same to the public.

This evidence will be submitted to the appropriate authorities. 

 I must admit, I’m very disappointed with what has happened and unhappy that your

business has not resolved this problem in a fair and equitable way.

 Looking forward to your favorable and honorable response now.

Sincerely,

John

 Your response August 18

John,

 

Let’s setup a conference call for today at 4 p.m. PST (9 a.m. Your time).

Unfortunately Ruel cannot be on this call because he’s traveling at the moment, however, we don’t really need him on the call. Especially since this matter is between you and IncFortune.

Now, I noticed you’re trying to advise us of other customers – however, we are not dealing with their issues, we are dealing with your issue. Let’s keep it that way.

As far as   Amex , Mastercard, or Visa is concern – there is no way Visa or Mastercard will favor you in this case so we are not scared of a chargeback. We’ve processed millions online and we’d be “complete fools” if we didn’t know how to secure our money.  

Moving onward, we have also stated that we want to help you make money online – the kind of money Ruel was talking about. It’s all possible but you need to participate in the process – it seems as if you’re trying to get out of doing the work (just my opinion).

That being said, I want the call to focus around “making money” - rather than trying to get a refund. We are not interested in giving you a refund; however, we are interested in helping you make money online.

What do say John?

 

Re: Breach of Contract

Thursday, August 20, 2009 8:42 Pm

Hi John,

Yesterday I was so relieved to hear you say that

you and Joseph will deliver what Ruel has promised. You said you will

draw up a new plan and call me today.

I postponed my other duties and waited for your

call.

As of this evening - nothing - no plan, no call,

no correspondence.

With all due respect, I want to bring it to your

attention that you are currently in breach of contract. 

Failure to fulfill what you said you would do by

tomorrow evening, will constitute and confirm an acknowledgment on your

part, that you are in breach of our contract.

 You mentioned that it is your opinion that

I do not want to work. Yesterday Joseph also asked me the same question.

In case you still harbor that opinion, may I

answer it this way.

 Just imagine for a moment you take your

Mercedes to be repaired, and the mechanic says it is going to cost you

$30,000. You agree and pay him up front. He then says for his company to

begin the work, you have to sign an agreement. What he promised to do and

what is in the agreement is vastly different. When you object, he

assures you verbally that the agreement is drawn up by lawyers to protect

the company's repair methods, and not to worry about it. If your car is

not repaired to your satisfaction, he gives you his word you will get all

your money back.

 He sounds trustworthy, and assures you all

conversations are recorded. Because you have already paid, and want your

car fixed, you trust him.

 When you come to collect your car, the

mechanic is nowhere to be seen. The owner however turns up, and entertain

you lavishly with chef prepared meals and accommodation which you enjoy

and accept, waiting for your car.

When you finally see your car, nothing has been

done.

 When you ask the owner to complete the

repairs or give you your money back as the mechanic has promised, he gets

angry, mentions all the entertainment he has done, and accuses you of

being a criminal.

He also refuses your repeated requests to speak

with the mechanic.

A week later he invites you back to his

workshop.  He apologizes for calling you a criminal. Then ask you to

state on camera how happy you are with his service. 

When you object to lying on camera, he says

repairing cars and ethics don't mix.

A week later you still don't have your car.

When you ask him for a refund again, he says it

seems as if you are trying to get out of doing any work.

 The above story might sound ridiculous,

but there are others that seem to have had the same experience.

 I quote a former client of yours:

"The sad

thing is that they never did any work. That's right--- they did nothing

and yet expected to get $2399 for doing nothing."

John

Columbia 

With all due respect, your opinion that I do not want to work, is

simply without merit and I find that offensive. My track record proves

that.

 Furthermore, Joseph asked me questions

about my life that were a bit strange and made me feel uneasy. Like why

did I want to buy a Gas Station with the money I earn, when we just walk

on   the

island ?

This morning when you did not call, I became

more suspicious.

I could be entirely wrong, and if I am, please

ignore this. If Joseph tried to trap me into saying something that later

could be used to defame me or against me, I make the following

disclaimer:

"Anything that was said to Joseph yesterday

during our conversation, does not necessarily reflect my believes or

opinions, and all liabilities are limited to that."

 If I do not hear from you by tomorrow with

a solid, ethical plan to be on the $15000 to $20000 per week income as

Ruel and you promised, you leave me no other choice but to start on the

next step.

Sincerely,

John

  INTERNET SERVICES CONTRACT SUPPLEMENT

 This agreement between John (hereinafter customer)and IncFortune, Inc. (hereinafter company) is made as a supplement to the contract between the two parties entered into on 

July 10, 2009.    That original agreement remains in full force and effect and is incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein. 

 The customer agrees to waive any further claims for any refund either full or in part.      In exchange for said waiver, company agrees to go beyond the terms of the original agreement by providing customer with the first 1000 leads for his internet business. 

 This supplemental agreement is made in the spirit of reigniting the relationship between the parties in their search for internet business success.                                                                          

                                                                                     

                This new offer is for 1000 leads that according to you will cost you $300. That is not what I paid $30,000 for. Neither is it a solid plan for myself earning what Ruel has promised.

I was very disappointed that I had been lied to once again.

 On 8/22/09 I wrote this;

  Dear James and John,

Thank you for the new offer. I have to decline this, due to the following reasons.

You are now clearly in breach of contract. 

1. The basis that I entered and signed your agreement is that everything I do, must be ethical.  John has asked me to lie on video. When I objected, he said ethics and marketing don't mix. He asked me to break the law.

BBB have given you an "F" rating for Pushtraffic. These are their comments;

  "We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints,  

their advertising is grossly misleading , they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements,  

their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices."

As pushtraffic is owned by John, the same applies to INCFORTUNE.

"The way we do anything, is the way we do everything"

Quote  Harv T Ecker.

That plus the numerous serious complaints of your clients on the internet, proves that that you are habitually breaking the law and deceiving the public

This in itself is a criminal act, with very serious potential ramifications.

 The information above, is indubitable evidence of your willful misconduct

 I would remind you of Paragraph4

1.    INDEMNITY:   The User agrees to defend, indemnify and hold INCFORTUNE,   and it’s officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, instructors, coaches and their related companies harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs, losses, expenses, claims, and/or judgments, including legal costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, and disbursements which any of them may incur or become obligated to pay arising out of or resulting from (I.) the activities of the User pursuant to this agreement  part of INCFORTU (with the exception of willful misconduct on the part of INCFORTUNE ) and (II.) the breach by the User of any of its representation, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under this Agreement (with the exception of the breach of/or a default under any other agreement, instrument, order, law or regulation applicable to INCFORTUNE or by which it may be bound), and claims of injury or otherwise arising from the sales of any products or services pursuant to this Agreement.

  2. Verbally it was promised by Ruel, and confirmed by Joseph and David Sipes as being possible, that your company will set up my business so that I will earn between $15000 and $20000 per week.

It is now more than 60 days after my initial investment. I have earned Zero money as of today's date

That is willful misconduct - Ruel intentially lied to me, and David and Joseph did not correct that.

3. Joseph has written it is possible, David have said it is possible, and Ruel has given me his solemn word, that I am entitled to a full refund should I not make my investment back within 30 days.

I have written that condition as the basis on which I have signed your agreement, and you have accepted that.

 You have continually refused my request for a refund

 That is willful misconduct

4. In your agreement, you state that you will provide service and help for me to build my business.

 The only person that is qualified to teach me, is someone that is currently earning between $15000 to $20000 per week himself or herself

Teak, the man you have given to help me, is not qualified to help me, as he is a technician. He has no experience of earning money on the internet

He has so far had 2 sessions with me.  Ten days ago, I asked him to send me the login details of my accounts that he has setup - as of today -no response.

That is willful misconduct

5. Ruel Mitchell has promised me that all traffic for my site will come from free traffic, and I don’t have to spend any more money. He also gave me his word that I will get a full refund if I don't make the $30000 back in 30 days. He also said I am on a higher income level, because I paid more. Those were all blatant lies. The other participants at the  

Malibu   Mansion   paid $10000 for the same promised income level.

Your sales staff are all trained to tell the same or similar lies - by Incfortune, Pushtraffic or Jumplaunch. As you have never denied that, it is an undeniable fact that you are fully aware of.

 That is willful misconduct, and breaking the law intentionally.

 Under paragraph One you have this statement.   User agrees the amount of the liquidated damages for breach of the confidentiality agreement is $25,000. 

What is good for you, is also good for your clients, wouldn’t you agree?

You have breached the contractual agreement, by breaking the law and willful misconduct.

 Your breaching of the contract has caused me considerable physical, mental and emotional trauma, as well loss of time and income by having to focus on resolving this issue.

By not resolving this issue to my satisfaction within the next 48 hours, you agree that $25000 will be fair compensation to me, above the $30,000 to be refunded.

Sincerely,

John

 Your reply on 08/23/2009

  John -

At this point we feel as if you’re playing games with us. We are no longer interested in revising any existing written agreement between YOU and “IncFortune”.

IncFortune has nothing to do with PushTraffic, Inc, nor the “F” rating.

Therefore we have contacted our processor and attorney and we are prepared to enter a dispute if you elect to do so. Keep in mind after the dispute is settled in our favor we will no longer service or support you since you breached the contract.

If you elect to work together, then we need your undivided attention and cooperation.

Best,

John

  From your response, I was satisfied that you have no intention to act in an honorable way, and decided to draw up this document.

 With your site   www.infortune.com   you became even bolder with your willful deception of the public.

At the bottom you display this - copyright @ 2001 - 2009

Fact – You started work for a hosting company in 2001, but Incfortune was only started on 18 January 2009 (whois) This was also verbally confirmed by you.

This is yet another irrefutable example of your twisting the truth, with intention to deliberately deceive and defraud the public

When you go to your other website   www.jumplaunch.com , the following buttons are on display at the bottom;

BEST WINNER 2007,    TOP PICK    2007     and    EDITORS CHOICE

 During our training on your   Malibu   mansion, you laughed and joked that you yourself actually voted and picked your own service as the best.

 At the time it shocked me that you were so comfortable, and even found it funny that you intentionally lie and deceive the public.

The following testimonials of your costumers, makes it obvious that they do not share your sense of humor.

Push Traffic Scam and John Ragoza Scam

I gave $2400 to this company. The same night red flags started popping up [after they had my card info]. When I asked to talk with the man that signed me up they told me NO. I thought this was odd as he had just told me that he would be the one working with me?!@* What the heck#*!

There were other flags as well-- so I decided to ask for my money back. I wrote a letter and called PushTraffic. No one bothered to call me and email me. However - just as soon as Visa got my money back they started calling. What a joke. They even called on Christmas Eve.

The sad thing is that they never did any work. That's right--- they did nothing and yet expected to get $2399 for doing nothing.

Stay clear from both John Ragoza and Push Traffic unless you want to part with several thousand dollars and get nothing in return.

John Columbia

 PushTraffic are definitely ripping people off.

 

I got scammed for a ridiculous 5 figure amount. AND they DID promise to a lot for me. Ted Molina said he would set me up with an autopilot income. After I paid, he would not answer my emails. Another 2 sales guys bled me for more money to design websites I never got plus pre-paid Google PPC campaigns. When I got angry JPR himself offered a credit that I still haven't received.

Don't get sucked in by these smooth talkers!

Henry Sydney Australia

hey charged me over $10,000 for services which were never done. I have emails and contracts delineating what they will do, yet nothing was done. I answered their ad in fall of 2007 to get traffic for my new affiliate website. The ad said there would be a monthly fee for service. Then John called. He was so nice, I agreed to an upgraded plan and paid him $2348 for daily search engine submissions with reports, search engine optimization and a professional redo of my website.

None of it happened except for changing my website. They actually replaced my page with one for their business. They called weekly, gave me small assignments to do, which I did and kept promising me $7000 weekly checks. Never Happened.

Long story short, I gave them over $10,000. Then they stopped calling. I filed a report with the BBB who contacted him. He told them he had sent me a full refund. Well, that never happened either. Now, I'm going to find an LA lawyer and sue him for the money.

So, I repeat, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH JOHN RAGOZA or PUSH TRAFFIC

I believe there are enough victims out there for a class action suit against this guy who has the guts to go on video bragging about being a millionaire.

Eileen McCutcheon

emack321@gmail.com

 Push Traffic is one of the more expensive scams

on the Internet. After posting five figures I

received virtually "nothing." My coach was a joke that could not answer a single legitimate question about the company, or how I was to profit from the website I received (which promoted products you could get on your own for little or no cost). I called several times to get information, but to no avail. I will pursue measures to get a refund or take action to expose this company as the scam it is

Douglas

I was taken for over 6 thousand by push traffic. They took all the money out of my credit card and said I needed to be in the mastermind level in order to see results and that even though I am just a newbie to the internet that is what they said . Joel , the marketing director is the one who took my money and would not return it after I complained and John will not call me back or answer any emails or reply to my letters I sent him. I did enroll and agreed to 2400 but when the time came to start Joel told me he needed 3000 more and with out my consent took it out of my credit and now I am overdrawn and over my limit and in debt. As for the service from push traffic I get 1 hour every 2 weeks with a coach and have not made 1 penny form their help. I am at a loss as to what to do and how to get my 3000 back

Tim Everett WA

 
I urge you and ANYONE else who has been scammed by PushTraffic and/or its representatives to contact Diane (email provided in her Feb post - see above). I have spoken with Diane, and her experiences are similar to mine.

 

(They canceled a seminar in  Australia  without notice. They owe me over $US10,000.)

We now have 3 people who will (together) be taking our complaints to the authorities. The more people we can assemble, the more power we'll have. If you want your money back, then please email Diane. I will be meeting with her personally in 
Australia

to get this action started. Please join us.(You won't get any refunds from PushTraffic. I have been trying for over 12 months.)

 John Raygoza put $10,000. USD on my Credit card Oct 08 and promised me a website that would be up and running immediately and start generating income. He told me that I would have enough money made to pay the full amount of the credit card by the time I recieved the bill. Well, once he took my money it didn't happen. I tried to get my money back, but couldn't so I tried to get it back through my Master Card and they wouldn't do anything because they said I autherized the transaction. So here it is April/09 and I'm trying to make payments not on $10,000. USD but on $12,000. CD. In other words I'm screwed. They are nothing but a rip off.

Mary Richards

 I, too, can shed some light on this topic.but I'm suspicious about anyone who praises this crowd.

I'll let the FBI find out where Raygoza's real money came from, but that is not my subject.My concern is getting my money back.

Pushtraffic intruded into my life in May, 2009, and I have been shaking my head at my own gullibility ever since.

However, as I could see the company had a physical presence, it did not seem like a fly-by-night scamster from across the road.

I was intending to buy into the best level -$15k at a $7k discount.

I was assured the best mentoring, the best support.

I was given every imaginable assurance.

Even so, I wondered the next day about rescinding. I felt uneasy. I wish I had rescinded, though it meant finding an open post office on a Saturday. but then, even if I had rescinded, who would have guaranteed my money back?

Raygoza hates giving refunds. He would prefer to strangle his mother.

But the fact is, these Pushtraffic bastards have not met my goals. I won't go into details. But Pushtraffic customer service is the world's worst.

The mentors told me they could not meet the goals set out. They scoffed at them.have I complained? You bet. I have spoken to their lawyer. I sent two dozen emails of question and complaint.

they give me nothing but mentoring. i was promised flashy sales page, but nothing emerged.

Teri mentoring is crap.

This is not to say mentors are fools, but why would they work for a scumbag if they are capable of building $10000- a month websites?

If you think they can get away with anything and call it mentoring, then good luck. But all they have done in my case is show me what terrible, lousy managers- if not worse- they really are.

I take a dim view of a bunch of overpaid crap-artist that fails to answer emails.

I'm looking into legal action now. Numbers are strength. Let's give them hell.

PushTraffic definitely takes your money and doesn't deliver. I am taking out a 'class action' against them through the FTC and have an ever-growing list of victims.

If you want your money back, I urge you to contact me because the more complaints I can submit, the more chance of getting a refund.

Besides, it will help to stop these criminals.

 If you 've noticed all the praise for PushTraffic comes from LA, isn't that amazing? This company is

very clever the way they do business. Some of the people (who do the mentoring) if they have a conscience leave after a couple of months. I have received an email from 1 of them. He tried to warn me not to spend more money but he couldn't come right out and tell me because that would cost him his job.

I lost $7500.00 and I'm a senior citizen on a fixed income. They were so insistent and convincing that after you hang up you can't believe what you allowed them to sell you. I received nothing for my money.

I can't believe the Attorney General in Ca hasn't been alerted to their scam.

  John Ragoza Scam

by

  on Wed Feb 27, 2008 12:36 pm

PushTraffic-Scam I wanted to pass this info along so that others do not fall prey to a company called PushTraffic. These guys told me that they would put up a site for me and within 30 days I would earn around $2000. The price for setting up my website and driving traffic to it was $2400.  

I should have known to RUN when they wanted me to sign a form stating that I could not get my money back [1st red flag]. HOWEVER – I had them put a clause is that said I could get a refund in 30 days. I can tell you now that this meant nothing to them.  

Another red flag went up just as soon as I paid them. The same night I paid them they told me I would no longer be able to talk with the man who sold the program to me. This seemed odd as he had just told me that I would be working with him to set everything up. Can you say “red flag”? Then when I asked to be transferred back to this man, I was told NO. Can you imagine the knot I got in my stomach? I knew these guys where going to take me for a ride and I was going to lose $2399.

The next morning I sent a letter to PushTraffic addressed to John Ragoza and the man who sold me the program. I told them I did not want to go forward and that I wanted my money back. I also called and left messages to return my call.

Needless to say – you know what happened… not a thing. That is until they figured out that I had called Visa and had them reverse the funds! Then all of a sudden… PushTraffic seemed to “care” about me. WOW! Talk about customer service.

Here’s the deal. They wanted to charge me for services they never rendered. My account was never set up and they never drove any traffic and yet they wanted to get paid. Visa told me they were going to get my money back based on the fact that I never received anything from these guys.  

Let me tell you – my phone rang of the hook after that. John Ragoza and PushTraffic even called on Christmas eve. What kind of person interrupts you and your family on Christmas eve?  

The good news is that Visa did get my money back – but even this took 4 months. The guys at PushTraffic were determined to get my money and tried every trick in the book to keep funds that they knew they did not deserve. Thank God that Visa went the distance and worked this out.

I only write this to inform anyone looking to use PushTraffic to stay as far away from this group as you can. Can you say… PushTraffic Scam – John Ragoza scam  

I encourage you guys that have lost money to blog more about these guys. I hate thinking that other innocent people are going to lose their hard earned money.

  Hi There

I signed up with Pushtraffic on 13 August 2008, I paid $1500. The made lots of promises in the process of trying to get me on board. I duly received my first "coaching call" of 1 hour, but quickly realized that my knowledge was more advanced than what their system was aimed at. The caller even looked at my own website and said that he would feel embarrassed to put up their free site for me, as my site was way better than the one they offered me. I then contacted them and requested my money back on the grounds that the product was not suitable for me and that it was falsely presented to me by the salesperson. It is now three months since I requested the refund, but apart from the initial few useless responses, I have had no responses for a very long time, they are simply ignoring me and it is evident that they are not going to give  

my money back.

So, I paid $1500 for someone from the   USA   to make a 1 hour phone call to my house. If you think that is good value for me, feel free to hand your cash over to these guys.

To me, $1500 for a one hour phone call is plain theft. I have nothing to hide, anyone is free to contact me at   mailto:bassonc@gmail.com . In fact, if other people out there have been scammed by this bunch, please contact me, I am gathering as much info as possible to follow up with some legal action.

(((Redacted)))

Within the last week someone at PushTraffic, Inc tried to defame one of their victims. It was a real piece of sleaze. These people have no shame whatsoever. I suspect it was the CEO, John P Raygoza, but I can’t prove that at this juncture.

The perpetrator placed a blog on (((Redacted))) that claimed the victim said she needed her money refunded because she had cancer.

The victim did no such thing. She demanded a refund for PushTraffic’s failure to provide service as promised. Of the $15,000 she paid PushTraffic, John Raygoza offered her $7500. I don’t know, but $7500 seems like a great deal of money to pay for about 30 minutes of coaching (especially by someone who Raygoza in a recent statement said was not an internet marketer, but a ‘technician’).

There was a rash of comments following that outrageously lying post. Some, obviously posted by PushTraffic people chastised the victim. Others, recognizing the slime of PushTraffic came to the victim’s defense and pointed out discrepancies in the chastisements as well.

The victim complained to Apsense and they immediately removed the putrid post as well as all the attending comments. Apsense also removed a second blog post by another victim that went up within a day to counter the offensive first post.

It is really sickening to see how low the PushTraffic CEO and his crowd will stoop. Whoops! These guys can’t stoop. Sneaky snakes don’t have legs.

I told you in an earlier post the I filed a   LA Better Business Bureau   complaint against the PushTraffic Swindlers. The following is the latest on that.

Complaint ID: 98428684 Posted with   Los

Angeles   Better Business Bureau 7/7/2009

A synopsis of my complaint is that I paid $5000 to PushTraffic for internet marketing coaching services. Within the first 28 days they failed to meet coaching appointments two out of three times.

Owing to the disposal of a large sum on this disgusting outfit, I am now under financial pressure. Pushtraffic has brought stress into my life and unhappiness to my household.

How I curse the day I ever heard of them.

If I had known that BBB rated them an F, I would never have touched the nest of viruses.

I can relate to all the complaints. Poor responses, abysmal customer service, phony promises…

I complained and demanded a return of my money and they refused. They sicked their attorney on me who attempted to intimidate me. When he failed at that he gave me three options: 1. Continue without assurances that service would be improved or that the coaching would meet my requirements. 2. Accept a refund of my money less 15%. 3. If I did not accept either options 1 or 2 by the end of the telephone conversation I would get nothing.

None of those were acceptable and he hung up on me.

All of my efforts to settle the above matter amicably have been unsuccessful. My numerous calls have not received the courtesy of a response. Pushtraffic personnel have been told not to speak to me.

The LA BBB sent me an email on August 5, 2009 with the following information included:

“In the absence of any response from the company this complaint despite our two requests to them, we are closing our file on this complaint.

This unanswered complaint will become part of the information we report to the public on this company for the next three years. Should any government agency request our files on this company, your complaint will also be included.”

So now it’s just one of the 46 complaints BBB has on PushTraffic and John P Raygoza, and one of the 22 they haven’t answered.

Well, it won’t affect their BBB rating. That is “F” and you can’t get any worse than that!

Go to   Los Angeles Better Business Bureau   and search for PushTraffic. Why would a company have so many complaints filed against them. Ah, it’s a conspiracy, DECENT folks are ganging up on them!

I was smooth-talked by Ted Molina, who assured me that PushTraffic would help me set up a membership site for actors plus an custom designed affiliate site that would run on autopilot bringing in at least $30,000 a month. For $5,000 I would receive 12 months (weekly) coaching about anything I needed to learn about internet marketing. I would also receive a ticket to a seminar scheduled 5 months later in   Australia .

At that time I was relatively new to internet marketing and was frustrated about not having someone to answer questions. This plan excited me.

Ted & I spoke for hour and he offered to speak to Denzel Washington, who he said worked out at the same gym that Ted went to. He said that he might be able to persuade him to do a short welcome video for my membership site.

Too good to be true? Sure was. The coaches knew nothing about my planned membership site and instead railroaded me in the direction of an affiliate site for PushTraffic.

The existing site I already had was taken down by PushTraffic and replaced with a disgusting, cheap & nasty squeeze page with a picture of their CEO relaxing with his laptop on the roof of an LA building.

The text said something like “I swear that I have made a lot of money with this program” (I can’t remember the exact phrase, but it was a blatent lie, as I made nothing.)

PushTraffic said they would blast out emails and send the page to all the search engines resulting in a big list of subscribers which I could do anything I wanted with.

Their coaching program was definitely not for beginners. Firstly, I wanted to know how to use aweber and they directed me to learn it myself through the aweber videos. I wanted to understand the creation of a squeeze page. No luck, they said I already had one.

I demanded they restore my website, as at least I’d had some success with it. Their page did nothing at all. That was about all they did for me. I asked for instructional videos. The coach said he would try to make some, but the first one just stalled and would not play.

When I complained that their estimated income hadn’t started and that we were no closer to getting started, they told me that I should invest in their Inner Circle which would mean that I’d be coached by the CEO himself (John Raygoza) who would meet me for a private lunch during the Australian seminar and discuss how they would make me a huge success. I would also receive a second seminar ticket, so I could bring a friend, or sell it on eBay for $5,000.

They continued to instill hope & excitement but I was still skeptical. Mr Raygoza came on the phone and reassured me that I was in excellent hands and that he would JV with me to success. I bought it (foolishly) and another $5,000 was billed.

The only difference now was that I got messages to attend an online webinar each week, but unfortunately these live events occurred at some ungodly hour in the morning here and I could not attend as I had to go to work. So I missed them all. When I tried to get a re-run, they said “the webinar has ended”. I wrote to PushTraffic and asked if they could record them but got no reply.

I was looking forward to the seminar, as the coaches had difficulty in calling me due to the time zone difference.

Soon I got a call from another salesman trying to sell me the same program all over again. I got bad vibes and told him that I’d already spent $10,000. I was angry and upset and complained bitterly that in over 3 months I still hadn’t received my promised web design, nor any answers from coaches, who just kept telling me that I wasn’t putting in the effort in affiliate marketing.

I told him that I was not given what I paid for. He was lovely and assured me that my website was almost finished and that it was looking fantastic. If I paid a further $5,000 the whole thing would be taken care of and it would be marketed for 12 months through PPC. I told him I already had my own Adwords account with money in it. He said that they had to use their own account as they would get a better price and they were PPC experts. The $5,000 would make me back thousands of income per month over a period of 12 months, by which time I would be an expert.

He was so warm, understanding and reassuring. He said that he would personally make sure that everything was handled with priority and that my financial situation would turn around dramatically. He also said that I’d receive another seminar ticket, which I didn’t want! He said he would get one of the girls in the office to call me to help me sell it on ebay. (She never called and when I asked about it nobody knew anything)

I didn’t have any more credit left on my cards, so he asked me to get an increase. He asked which bank I was with and he rang them from the US on a conference call and when they answered, told me to go ahead and ask for the increase (while he stayed quietly listening in the background).

Of course they wasted no time in taking the money and yet again a coach rang me to set me up for the third time, I got the feeling that I’d been duped and demanded my money back. I wrote to Raygoza and I quote his reply:

“After reviewing this I have decided to refund your account $5,000.00

Please do not spend anymore money with PushTraffic – you have paid your dues.

I hope to see you at my seminar.

Additionally I have had a talk with the parties involved and rest assured they’ve been reprimanded for their actions.”

So there is the CEO’s own admission that I’d been ripped off.

Unfortunately, in my haste, I’d canceled the credit card, because I didn’t want them to know the number. So the credit bounced back to PushTraffic.

Raygoza offered to “cut a check” but I wanted a bank transfer. He then offered PayPal payment but later reported that the payment wouldn’t go through as it was too large.

Meanwhile the month of May came and went. NO SEMINAR took place and I could get no information. None of the staff knew anything about it. I knew then they had ripped me off.

Later, after many emails, Raygoza got sick and tired of my gripes and sent me another email, saying I would get nothing. Well, I could tell you many more things but I’ll leave that for my own blog.

These guys are slick, smooth criminals.

I strongly recommend any would-be entrepreneur to stay well away from Pushtraffic.

I'm a customer,and I know. I am also aware of an increasing number of contacts with credible stories (I checked some of the facts and names) who report a tale of woe.

What I report is the most uncooperative bunch of useless bastards that every occupied an office building anywhere. Their customer service is a bad joke, but it ain't funny.

Either they are lousy managers, incompetents or just crooked. Maybe a bit of each.

Come to think of it, if you can call that stuff mentoring and get away with it, let's all become mentors.

If the Federal Trade Commission lets Pushtraffic continue, then street crime will be obsolete. You see, all you've got to do is get hold of people's credit card details, slug them for big fees, then hold them off by saying, as JPR says: "we sell coaching, we don't give away money." Simple!

If you never make any money, Pushtraffic's nasty little attorney -prostitute will tell you off by saying you need to do a lot more work,

Pushtraffic is without products or systems of its own, PT do not have any of the high-conversion sales pages they said they had, and they do not have traffic expertise. If they do, they keep it a big secret from their own clients.

Pushtraffic is poison. Keep well away from that bunch of phonies.  

he scam artists at Pushtraffic, Inc cold called me using a name of a person I had bought products from in the past. Trading on that trust I had for that person, they talked me into giving them $5000 of my hard earned money for a coaching program. They missed two of the first three sessions. When I called to complain I was told that they didn't have to do any better.

I demanded my money back and they sicked their attorney on me. He tried to intimidate me and bully me into accepting. When I insisted on getting my money back he said I could either continue with things the way they were, get a portion of my money back, or get nothing if I didn't accept either of the first two options.

There is a class action suit in the works against them.

Frank Servin: His name should be spelled RayGOONza. He is a crook, and as he calls people who complain about his comany's business methods, a LOOSER!   

It is amazing that someone is speaking good of Push Traffic. I had a very bad experience with them. They scamed $6400 out of me. They promised me the world but did not do anything. They contacted me 2 times after I paid them and then the coach left them. Since then I never heard of them again. To try and phone or cantact them is useless, they do not respond. I will work hard once I know how to do it. I am a newby in internet marketing and only wanted to learn how to promote and sell my own product. I am not attacking them. I am telling you. They are big scammers. Johan

Is Push Traffic Mentoring a Scam?

It's been 9 months since I signed up with Push Traffic.

When I was contacted by Matt Alhouse (who is no longer there), the sales pitch he gave was that the program he was offering was by invitation only. I wouldl be given a free money making landing page while I worked with a coach who was going to teach me how to generate an income online.

The first thing he had me do was take a look at their website. The sales pitch there sounded good so I went ahead and signed up. My initial payment was $5000.00, but the next day he called and said I needed to pay an additional $2000.00 in order to maximize my return. So like a dummy, I paid the additional amount.

A few days later, I was contacted by Joel Lansky who assigned me a coach and told me they were going to start "pushing" traffic to my landing page. Interestingly enough when I asked my coach about that, he was totally baffled by the whole thing and got someone else on the phone that explained to me that I had to pay for the traffic. OK so I was lied to right from the start. I really didn't know much about internet marketing at this point, so whatever they said, I believed.

My first coach (Dave Baxter) spent about 3 weeks with me before I was passed on to another coach (David Lee). He lasted about a month, when I was passed on to another coach. By this time, it was already January. My last coach (whose name I will withhold) was only able to schedule calls every two weeks because Push Traffic was recruiting tons of new clients. I was happy with the progress we were making, but suddenly I stopped hearing from him. I sent him numerous emails, but wasn't getting any response back.  

April and May were pretty hectic since both my husband and I lost our jobs the end of 2008, and were in the process of selling our house (which we lost). We were busy looking for an apartment, while also packing that I lost track of time. When we were finally settled into our new home, I realized I hadn't had any contact with my coach. I finally dug out the "contract" I signed and proceeded to give them a call. I explained that I hadn't had a coach call in 2 months!

(My last coach eventually contacted me and explained that he left Push Traffic because of their unethical business practices. Talk about a big red flag!!)

I was directed to Harwood Hamilton who apologized and explained to me that my last coach had left the company and that the client files were corrupted. He promptly assigned me a new coach with whom I had 3 sessions. After the 4th session was scheduled, it was rescheduled. That was OK, but on the day of the rescheduled call, it was cancelled and haven't heard from him since. I have sent several emails requesting to be rescheduled, but I have since given up.

I contacted Harwood about the rescheduled and cancelled calls. He assured me the situation was taken care of and that my coach would be getting back to me. I still haven't heard back. I tried calling Harwood over the past few days, but my calls keep going to voice mail. I finally left two voice messages, but it's been almost a week and still no reply.  

If you are contacted by Push Traffic, take it from me, don't get sucked into their sales pitch!

(((Redacted)))

As a very unhappy customer of Pushtraffic, 
 

I have to say the discrepancy between promises and performance is big enough to fly a jumbo jet through.

Bottom line is this: if Pushtraffic's business model survives, then bank robbery will soon become obsolete.

Why risk your neck with an armed hold-up, when you can duplicate a Pushtraffic scam and fleece people of amounts up to $15k then hold onto their money, telling them "Your legal-binding agreement you signed ... It clearly states we do not guarantee results. The contract binds us to coach you, not to give you money."

Since I started this blog, I have had several responses from people who have either already parted with their money, or from people who saw the blog and thanked me for saving them from doing so. I have been gathering names and we are setting up some sort of group so that we can all add our own expertise and put these criminals out of business. If we can't get our money back, at least we can have the satisfaction of seeing them not making any more money. Let's spread the word, they are using the internet to steal from people, let's use the internet to give them a bit of their own medicine. John Raygoza and his fellow criminals deserve to be brought to justice. Contact me or post a response if you have been scammed by these guys.

HEllo,

 I received a call from a man representing himself as Jay Debolt whom I have worked with in the past and purchased the google slapper program from. This man tried to convince me that the push traffic program will fix the small problems I am having getting my sites viewed by consumers.

 The man stating he was Jay Debolt called from Push Traffic Inc, on 7/16/09 He told me he need to see which program I qualified for and began to list all the products I would receive for my membership which include:

 Advanced Training Sessions, Blogging mentorship, PPC Mentorship, Sales Copy Mentorship, DVD Training Videos, Instant Turnkey Website, (10) one on one coaching calls over 6 months. With 118.80 Bi-annual hosting fee attached.

 I was informed that I qualified for the $2000.00 program and before I knew it, my debit card reflected the purchase sending my personal account and mortage out the window and in the negative which I had to pay 350.00 for fees to the bank.

 The confidentiality agreement states if I breach the contract by telling trade secrets I will be charged the set value of $25,000, therefore; Since they have breached their portion of the agreement by giving me nothing in return they should be held liable for the same amount.

 I was told by Jay, that a representative and coach would call me later that afternoon, I received No phone call.

 I was told that Jay would call me Sunday evening to see how things were going, I received no call.

 I was called Monday morning by a man representing himself as Howard Hamilton, a very rude man who told me to "wait" for him to finish before I asked him any questions. Mr. Hamilton acted shocked when I told him no one had contacted me, and set up an appointment for the next morning 6:00 AM Hawaii time with my counselor Susanna, well I got my coffee and sat and waited, yup you guessed it NO Phone call.

 Later that week I received a call from Mr. Hamilton attempting to get me to Upgrade my membership. Are you freaking kidding me! I told him nobody has even contacted me, again he acted shocked. I told him I wanted my money back right now. He told me to write to Mr. Sipes and request a refund that is the only way I would be able to get my money back, I told him ok I will do that today, and he hung up on me in mid sentance. Now Im no expert, but this would appear to be a very bad business practices.

 I want these prople exposed for the frauds they are, I want these people out of business as it appears I am no the only one who has been scammed, I e-mailed Jay Debolt and he responded once telling me he would forward my letter to Mr. Sipes, and now I cannot even get a response from him.

 This is a scam, and I want my money back before they hide it all in an overseas account like most crooks do.

thank you

On 4 Mar 09, Danny Robbins phoned me, saying that John Raygoza of PushTraffic Inc / JumpLaunch Inc, informed him that I would like to build and own an internetbusiness . He mentioned that he had been mentoring several people and most of them earned 5-figure income by this time. The least amount was someone who earned US$6,000 in the first month.

(Last November, I signed up a 'review website' with JumpLaunch Inc / PushTraffic Inc, as promoted by John Raygoza in his webinars. However, the 'review website' was not properly set up by its Front Admin Panel. I terminated the account, saying it was not to my expectation of an internet business. I got a refund back instantly).

On 4 Mar 09, during his overseas call, Danny Robbins mentioned that I would NOT need to pay US$5,000 for the mentoring program right away. I need to pay ONLY after I have earned more than the fee amount. He asked for my credit card number and its expiry date, saying that the Agreement from PushTraffic Inc required such billing details for the registration process. I gave him my credit card details.

He later emailed the Agreement which did contain my credit card details. He phoned again and wanted me to sign, scan and email the Agreement to him right away. As I could not use a scanner then, he agreed that I was to email the signed Agreement later that day. The Agreement had the fee of US$5,000 stated. He assured me that I would only pay later.

4 hours after receiving the Agreement, I received a phone call from my bank, saying that US$5,000 was charged to my credit card! I emailed him immediately on such discrepancy.

I phoned him that day and Danny said "anyway I would need to pay one way or another, sooner or later". He wanted me to email the signed Agreement, which I refused to do so. His email reply was "you are going to pay it after 30 days so I do not know what the problem is".

I emailed him to revert back the transaction on my credit card and he insisted that I should send him the signed Agreement in order that the billing department could reverse the bill. I refused to sign the Agreement as it would mean that I agreed to be billed per the Agreement.

Danny misrepresented the Agreement to me and refused to revert the transaction on my credit card. Also, how could any credible billing department bill a party without signed documents from that party? And, how could any credible billing department not reverse its billing after 2 weeks without the signed documents from the billed party?

As such, beware of ripoff from John Raygoza, PushTraffic Inc and JumpLaunch Inc.

On the 5th November, 2008, I received a call from a Frank Perez at Push Traffic offering me a program where he would set up a website and work with me one on one, I explained that I was not interested as I had my own website that I wanted to get  SEO  for. He looked at my website and was very impressed and asked me to give him 72 hours, to show me the amount of traffic he would get to my site. I checked with him what guarantee do I have if I paid the amount he was asking $10,000US. He informed me that I would have one month.

I agreed on the condition that they were doing the work, as I did not want tuition from them as I was going through information overload with setting up my website, and I had previously signed up for a coaching program with them which was useless and had been given incorrect information. He assured me that I would be impressed with what he could do in 72 hours. I paid with 2 cards, one debit $2400, one credit $7600 on the proviso that there was the guarantee.

He then faxed me an invoice for me to sign and fax back. On this it stated coaching, and tickets to seminar. I informed him that I was not signing up for their coaching program. He told me that's just how we invoice it, that he would be doing the work and would link to my computer so I could see what he was doing. He was running this program for about a dozen or so people and making huge amounts of money.

The next day, I received another call from Push Traffic, different sales person, now asking me for another $15,000US and continually asking me to give him my credit card details for this. He tells me instead of making $30,000 per month, you will make it per week. I repeatedly asked him what part of no does he not understand and I now want a full refund.  

Finally, somebody else took the phone (Danny) and I told him that I wanted a full refund. He assured me that he was going into a meeting with John Raygoza soon and would discuss the matter and that he would call me back the next day. Would especially come into the office. (Saturday) Never called.

On the 2nd December, 2008, spoke to Ted Molina, and he told me they were making me their no. 1 priority. He gave me his direct line phone number and mobile and told me to call anytime and convinced me to give him until the 1st January, 2009, to show me what they could do, otherwise I would get a full refund. I asked his name and informed him that I was recording him telling me this.  

Nothing happened, I tried to call the company virtually daily, no answer, through to messagebanks where nobody returned calls until finally on the 10th February, 2009, I receive an email from Joel Lansky of Push Traffic "I would like to speak with you about your bad experience with PushTraffic Inc."

After finally getting to speak with him on a couple of occasions, he offers me 15% of my money back, and wants me to sign a paper stating that it's my fault that I didn't make any money with Push Traffic. Luckily, I had informed my credit card provider of this problem and they contacted tried to contact the company, I think to no avail and did a reversal of the $7600.  

So Push Traffic still has $2400 of my money for which I have received absolutely nothing.

About six weeks ago I received a statement from AmerAssist stating that I owe creditor Push Traffic Inc. an amount of $10,300. I cannot believe the nerve of John Raygoza and that this company can get away with continually ripping people off like this. As you will see their are many complaints on different sites re Push Traffic Inc. and John Raygoza. Just do a search.

Conclusion

 Similar testimonials from around the world reveal hard to believe, shocking pictures of injustice, loss, theft, anger, trauma and frustration.

 They all contribute their experience to the outright lies and deliberate, intentional deceptive activities and false promises of your group, currently operating at  700 S Flower St. Suite 1410  Los Angeles CA  90017

You have denied that Pushtraffic has anything to do with Incfortune. However, Incfortune use the SAME methods of operation, SAME fraudulent marketing activities, SAME lack of service and SAME unethical practices.

INCFORTUNE is simply a new more sophisticated version of Pushtraffic.

 The only difference, is that you are getting bolder. You took me for $30,000.

 Lack of reprisal from authorities, your very cleverly drawn up legal agreement, and your success in brushing off and ignoring requests for refunds, has emboldened you to expand your fraudulent business.

No matter how vehemently you, your legal counsel and your staff denies any wrong doing, or try to blame your clients for your own lack of integrity, this small sample of shocking and often heartbreaking testimonials, simply cannot be so easily ignored or explained away. If there were only one or two cases, one could still allow for some doubt. Many more can be found by doing a search. I have not included the 27 complaints at www.bbb.org

  Fresh reports are coming in.

    Perhaps the most accurate description of your business model, was succinctly summed up by James Carse.

I quote:“I have to say the discrepancy between promises and performance is big enough to fly a jumbo jet through.

Bottom line is this: if Pushtraffic's business model survives, then bank robbery will soon become obsolete”.

As your current income according to you is between $3 and $5 Million Dollars per month, this could only be the tip of the iceberg.

I can’t help to wonder how many victims of your company, has simply been too embarrassed or lacked the courage and time to come forward.

Some that did have the courage to say how they have been mistreated, have been threatened, slandered or bullied by you or your lawyer.


Taking all the evidence and above facts into account, it has become a habit for you, and you actually find it amusing, that you can break the law, defraud and deceive the public so easily and effectively ,   without any serious recourse to yourself.

 Needless to say, this is not at all satisfactory. I wonder if you treat all of your customers the same way you have treated me.

I must admit, I’m very disappointed with what has happened and unhappy that your Business has not resolved this problem in a fair and equitable way.

 Sincerely,

 John

John Uys is lying - Company fulfilled on contract

AUTHOR: John Raygoza - (USA)

I was asked recently why I personally answer complaints from customers and why I waste time doing this stuff.

My answer is simple. I care. I care about the reputation of my company - I care about the reputation of my employees, and I care about my own reputation.

I'm glad that Ripoff-Report gives a voice to consumer - but I'm not happy with the fact that If my name is Googled it comes up as "Scam" or "Fraud" or what ever the user of RipoffReport.com intends on using as the title.

Nevertheless I was waiting for John Uys to put something on RipoffReport.com.

I'll give you the short version and let you (the consumer) decide who's right and who's wrong.

Ruel Mitchell - a consultant - for IncFortune did in fact contact John Uys to offer him a very exclusive offer of hangning out with me at the company's summer retreat in Malibu.

Ruel clearly explained what the trip entailed and what the services included.

In fact, Ruel made it clear what he was getting that's why he made him sign an agreement. Rather he had him sign a 4 page agreement, in which John Uys initialed in 5 different places acknowledging he understood exactly what was involved with the program.

Let's take a look at paragraph 3:

3.    EFFORT BASED:  The User understands and agrees that the value they will derive from the Trade Secrets products and/or services will be in direct proportion to the level of effort the User puts forth, their level of comprehension, his/her individual monetary investments, business experience, expertise, and level of desire and willingness to take action on the information provided in the package described herein.

John Uys said that Ruel Mitchell informed him that making money online with IncFortune is possible.

Well, duh...(Sorry John Uys, but you had it coming).

I mean we have several clients that make money through our affiliate marketing resources....that's how I got started.

FYI: I went above the service end agreement, and flew John Uys to my Malibu retreat.
We paid for his & his wife's flight, we had a celebrity chef cook him a world-class meal both nights, and I personally taught him how I generate leads online.
Here's a picture of John Uys and I at the event:
http://johnraygoza.com/Picture%201.png

As you can see, he seems pretty happy there.

This isn't it. I put John Uys up with our top marketing coach, Patrick Tuminaro. Patrick coached him for 2 days and after hanging out for a week with us, guess what he decides to do at the very end?

He request to have a meeting with me. So I head to my office in downtown Los Angeles, sit down with him and than he tells me something very shocking....

He says that he'd like to get his money back because Ruel promised he'd make $30,000 overnight. I said to John Uys did he really say that or is there something else behind this.....that's when he said the following statement and James Murphy was in the room with me when he said this:

"John, to be honest I want to leave my wife and I got desperate so I put all my money into the business and now I need to get it back because I want to move away from her."

So why am I sharing this with you? Because John Uys is attempting to damage IncFortune's reputation for his own personal gain. I spent over $8,000 in having John Uys and his wife out here, plus I created a web site and taught both of them how to generate leads.

I believe that John Uys participated in our program to get an all-expense paid vacation, dining, coaching, and more, only to come back later and ask for a refund.

You decide....

John Raygoza
CEO
IncFortune

P.S. I'm one of very few CEO's who answer complaints. I take them serious - If you or anyone is dissatisfied with my company, call me: 213.405.5322...yup that's my office line and I pick up most if not all the time....how many CEO's do you know who will do that?

Former Employee of John Raygoza - Great guy

AUTHOR: Danny Robbins - (USA)

First off -I'm a former employee - not scare to hide anything here so let me share with you some insight.

John Raygoza hired me when I was 19 - after several job rejections and nowhere to turn - I found him somehow. He taught me everything I know about internet marketing and I promoted his products very proudly. At 19 I made six figures working for him.

Now, the same can't be said for the previous poster - because unlike me he hasn't found a job. He's a dead broker loser, but he's one of those people that have to find someone to blame.

Just so you guys are aware - I still work with John Raygoza - I'm an affiliate of his and if not for him I wouldn't be where I am at today.

As far as clients are concerned - did somebody say that John Raygoza doesn't provide any service? And you don't call that a lie?
What's this then...
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+raygoza&search_type=&aq=f

Looks like dozen of video testimonials from real people, real clients, of John Raygoza.

Again, only a lowlife would post bad things about his former employer...only somebody who can't get hired anywhere else would do such a thing....maybe you can't get hired because you can't SELL the interview.

Must have been a chump salesman.

Get the lesson and move on!

Best,
D-rob!

P.S. Peace to my players at PT and Inc! Ya'll made me who I am today!

IncFortune Scam is the PushTraffic Scam Reincarnated

AUTHOR: Urlybird - Bexhill (Australia)

Why can't John Raygoza admit that he has been exposed yet again for serial scamming?

His company PushTraffic has a history of fleecing a plethora of clients of their money. I've never heard so many lies in my life! So many people did not get what they were sold over the phone by smooth-talking criminals who were simply after commissions. They'd promise anything to get your money.

PushTraffic have so many scam complaints all over the internet that a new company name was created - IncFortune.

After a few months the scam reports started appearing again under the new name of IncFortune.

Same owner, same staff, same lies, same scam.

Raygoza makes a habit of making up defamatory stories about dissatisfied clients. He did the same to me on Apsense.com but was caught creating multiple ID's to comment on his own story to back himself up. (His story and comments were removed by the site's administrators.)

The man is despicable and cannot be believed.

He says he spent $8,000 on Dr. Uys and his wife. But he took that out of the $30,000 that he charged Dr. Uys. That's a neat little profit of $22,000. That's no FREE holiday!

John Raygoza's reputation, along with that of IncFortune, PushTraffic and staff, is already tarnished beyond redemption. Their contracts are derived purely to protect themselves, in order to get away with daylight robbery.

I urge anyone considering doing business with Raygoza's organization to do their research first. Read everything you can find about IncFortune, PushTraffic, John Raygoza (don't forget to include the word "scam" in all the searches on the internet).

Then, and only then, take Raygoza's advice: "You decide".

PS. Other Internet Entrepreneurs charge a fraction of the price for much more diversified and comprehensive coaching. Don't be sucked in by a cold-call from a salesman selling step-by-step coaching. Search through forums and ask questions.

Attend a 3-day World Internet Summit (for only $97!) featuring many of the top marketing gurus in the world. (I've never seen Raygoza's name featured.) You'll experience AHA moments and come away with many golden nuggets.

Is John Paul Raygoza the real lyer?

AUTHOR: John - Saipan (Northern Mariana Islands)

 Dear John Raygoza,

 

Please stop insulting both your own and the Consumer's Intelligences

If you really took the time to read the report, you would have seen that you assigned Teak as my trainer, NOT Patrick! The only thing Patrick taught me is where the Restroom was located.

When I started my business career 28 years ago, my CEO told me he never tell lies, because it is too hard to remember all the lies. At the time I thought he was a bit weird.

By forgetting who was my assigned Trainer, you have proved him right.

Referring to my problems with my wife is really a bit low.

Even though I want to be on my own, I still care about her, and want to make sure she is financially okay. The money I lost was earmarked to set her up in her own business.

I sincerely hope that my painful and expensive lessons will prevent someone who is searching for "work from home" opportunities, from loosing their hard earned money, to you or anyone else.

 The most valuable lessons you and your company have taught me for $30,000.00 are the following;

 1. If anyone calls me again with an offer, the first thing I will ask for is a few names of other happy customers I can contact. If I can't get that, I will not do business.

2. Never ever again will I give my cc details before I get the promises in writing - no matter how tempting.

3. Read the small print very carefully before signing anything. 

4. If it is not in writing, don't believe it, no matter how convincing the marketer is.

5. Get the name of the CEO and Google it for scams

6. Check www.bbb.org for name of owner and company.

7. Make sure I do business with a company that have enough confidence in their own products to give a FULL refund in writing if I am not satisfied.

8. Let all I say and do, be done with Integrity. If it is not so, don't say it, don't even imply it. Once my name is tied to "scam", it is very hard to clear up. It usually involves more lies.

9. Never ever again do business with John Paul Raygoza, his affilliates, Incfortune, Pushtraffic, Jumplaunch or Youraffilliatesuccess, unless I want to risk being disappointed, ripped off, scammed and lied to.

10. If you wrestle with a pig, you begin to smell like him.

 Thank you for reminding me.

 I am going to shower and enjoy a cold beer, then move on to better things.

I'm the owner - Gail doesn't accept a refund

AUTHOR: John raygoza - LOS ANGELES (U.S.A.)

Gail - the person who posted above - was offered a refund but she refused. It's been 2 years since she bought our services but she still post lies and she will not accept a refund from our company.

Okay, the biggest mistake I ever made was allowing Gail to be coached by my company. She not only lies to our employees - but she will sign up under different names on forums and post dishonest comments about our organization.

Again, Gail was coached several times by our company (PushTraffic) but failed to do what was asked of her. Instead she said that "we promised to have a seminar in Australia" yet the contract she signed never stated that. So I offered to fly her out to a seminar in Los Angeles but she REFUSED.

Gail will post under the alias of "urlybird" - because she has disputed several transactions with her credit card company because she can't afford to pay back the bills in which she's endeavored.

She's threatened me several times by stating "If you don't give me a full refund I'll tell everybody on the internet that you are a scam"....quite honestly I don't think that's a proper reason to give somebody a refund.

Again, this is John Raygoza, owner of PushTraffic & IncFortune - 2 seperate entities (although Gail Fay is trying to claim I changed the name) although both entities ARE NOT the same company.

Best,
John Raygoza

If Raygoza was an honest man, he'd get rid of the liars that work for him.

AUTHOR: Urlybird - Bexhill (Australia)

Of course I would accept a refund. Why would anyone refuse a refund? It was the amount offered that I found insulting. I was offered $7,500, only HALF of my "investment".

The reason I wanted more is because the coaching offered was not what Ted Molina, the salesman, discussed with me. He spent several hours trying to convince me that the coaching would guide me through the creation of the business I was planning - a membership site for actors.

I'd had little experience back then (December 07) and was quite excited when Molina told me that PushTraffic were planning a seminar in Sydney Australia in May 08 and that a ticket to the weekend event was included in the price. He said I would learn everything I needed to know at that event.

It was on the basis of the seminar that I eventually agreed to sign up. When the order was emailed to me it did state that the seminar was included, but it did not mention the location.

A few weeks later a coach called me but when he started talking about affiliate marketing I queried it because I did not want to go down that road at the time. He seemed unaware of the discussions I'd had with Ted Molina.

So nobody could help me with the membership site. I tried to make a go of it by saying that there were a few grey areas that I'd like coaching for: eg autoresponders, FTP, squeeze pages etc. The coach suggested I look for videos on the internet!

I was very disappointed with the service and looked forward to the Australian seminar. In the mean time, I received about 3 phone calls from 2 coaches, but they continued to try to push me into becoming a PushTraffic affiliate. I was angry and again questioned what Molina had told me. One coach, Ankush became very heated and yelled "Just do as you are told!" He said I was not being cooperative. I tried to again explain what I had paid for and he replied that "you can't always believe what the salesmen tell you".

When I asked if I could speak with Ted Molina, he told me that I'd probably never hear from him again.

I have never lied to the coaches. Raygoza's reaction to all people who complain is to say we are liars. Molina AND Raygoza both lied about the Australian seminar. When the seminar did not happen, I suspected that the whole thing was a scam and after searching on Google, discovered that there were many people who'd been duped by PushTraffic.

I continued to complain for several months that they had scammed me and only then did Raygoza say that instead of a refund I should fly to LA for the next seminar - almost one year after I'd paid! The coaching calls had long ceased because I'd had to find a job to keep up my credit card interest payments. The time zone difference made it impossible to be available for their "coaching".

There was no way that I could fly to LA for personal and health reasons, but again asked if I could be refunded instead. I'd had next to no coaching. The calls were taken up with unanswered questions. Nothing had taken place - no coaching.

If Raygoza thinks that I received coaching, he's absolutely wrong. The coaches may have written down a few calls on their timesheets but I can assure him that no coaching took place.

I was deceived by Ted Molina. He lied - big-time! He told me that PushTraffic guaranteed their services 100%. PushTraffic charged my credit card BEFORE any paperwork was emailed to me.

There was no contract, just an invoice that said in small print at the bottom that I had read the terms and conditions. When I queried that, he told me that it was nothing to be concerned about and that I could read them later on the PushTraffic website. He hustled me to sign the invoice and fax it back immediately to get things started.

The whole point I am making here (to John Raygoza) is that if he ran a decent and honest business and a customer was lied to, he should listen and refund the customer, like EVERY OTHER legitimate company does.

He obviously does NOT stand by his staff's promises. By refusing to grant a full refund, he is implicating himself AND his companies as fraudulent.

This is not a competition that he is trying to win. This is a serious matter of lies, deception and breach of contract (whether verbal or written). It's Raygoza's word against scores of victims'.

If John Raygoza is so determined to save face, then why does he not listen to customer complaints instead of accusing all of us of lying. If his time is so valuable and worth $2,000 (or more!) an hour (in his opinion) then why waste his time scouring the internet for complaints that he personally wants to defend?

Everyone could get on with their lives and their businesses if he simply refunded the money and turned his attention to providing legitimate services as promised (and paid a high premium for).

IncFortune is simply taking over where PushTraffic left off - taking people's money without honouring the salesmen's promises. If I were in his shoes, the first thing I would do is question the salesmen & stop them from lying.

If Raygoza is as honest as he spruiks, then I challenge him to get rid of the sales staff that are sending his companies to the dogs.

Raygoza is being stubborn and unreasonable and cannot possibly be seen as genuine.
