Steve Villanueva of Gente Bien Magazine, wherewasi.com , Hollywood Talent and Associates Is well known for ripping off models, promoting night clubs, fashion photographer and media scams with the newest venture Gente Bien Magazine. Steve squats in a dirt hole strip mall in Clairmont, San Diego. I was a friend of his about 6 months ago and gave him some of my business contacts to advertise to and he mislead each and every one of them and had taken monies from them.
Isreal Rivera aka Rivers is one of San Diego's biggest scam artists who takes money for advertising in a magazine that is franchised to a man in Canada who had it stolen from him by Israel Rivers aka Rivera. To top that off he has not published for almost one year and continues to take monies, hire people without paying them and creating vendor bills without paying them and failing to produce any magazine.
He also fails to report any of his income and the IRS is looking for him. He has so many lawsuits against him they are like ants crawling from the walls. He is homeless and lives in the office that he squats in at 3200 Adams ave suite 103 and 105 he will never answer the door because he is a hunted man for so many reasons.
He was convicted of assault and battery and is on probation. He is a known felon. He never pays any of his sales people and sexually abuses them. He is the worst kind of predator there is. Police are looking for him and many of us in Canada and the US hope there is an arrest soon. If you know of his many crimes please call the San Diego District Attorney's office for a complaint to add to the many crimes that he has committed.
Grand theft
Forgery
Racketeering
assault
battery
merchant theft
petty theft
bad checks
bank fraud
they are so many to mention we are sure you will have your own
also Barter of America is a fake company not registered to do business in California and is operating illegally and the checks he writes are fake and bogus and cannot be cashed or traded and are a violation of the treasury departments rules and complaints are filed.
This guy needs some training on what the rules are in America and Canada maybe he will find a safe haven in Mexico where he is wanted by his locals for cheating them only if he goes back they may just take justice into their own hands down there. Please post any and all of your complaints here as well
