Joseph Nicoletti Consulting Ripped off of thousands of dollars by Joseph Nicoletti Consulting Laguna Beach California

Joseph Nicoletti scammed me back in 2012.  I've been afraid to come forward, but I am a stronger individual these days, and he needs to stop scamming musicians!

My case is very much like yours.  He gave me a 'deal' to sign for 3 years...over a thousand dollars.  Then, he said that he would help with my upcoming CD and get the artwork done and the manufacturing.  He sent over some fonts that I could use for the CD jacket, so I sent him the money thinking he was on his game...fifteen hundred dollars.

He does write incomplete sentences and does not use proper grammar...red flag I am now aware of.

He calls you a lot at first, but as the days, weeks and 1 month goes by - he disappears and does not contact you anymore.

Another red flag to me should have been that his company picture is of him and a famous musician - only it looks like a photo from the 1980's.  if someone hides behind their picture - red flag.

One time on the phone he said that my CD would be delayed because he bought a new car?  And he said it had nothing to do with me?  He took the thousands of dollars I gave him and bought a new car!

I also paid to have some songs 'mastered' to use in a film....five hundred dollars.  Never heard from him about this 'so-called' film.

I am sickened that there are people out there that take advantage of musicians like me...a musician looking for a consultant and instead getting a thief.

All in all, my grand total of money that I 'lost' to him was thousands of dollars.  Disgusting and disgraceful.  How do you live with yourself, Mr. Nicoletti?

Never again.  Lesson learned.
