Marketability and Con Man Mike Hughes are the biggest rip offs on the planet! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AND HERES WHY

My brother who is retired contacted Mike hughes about marketing a product. Mike hughes told him that all would be great and the product could be marketed. Mike even referred him and his wife to a web site that has every peiece of "Junk" that you would see at your local fair. Marketability markets its service as a service that finds "Zero cost" joint ventures meaning matching clients with business people that will market your product for "free" to you and then split the profits with you. ( Its a complete lie)

Well the scenerio went just like this;

Mike Hughes said he would evaluate my product to see if its worth marketing for $500 and if Mike could not find a "zero cost" joint venture client that wanted to market my product that he would refund my $500. After weeks of pump up converstations with Mike he pursuaded me to send hime the $500.

Two days later he calls me with his "bob barker" voice and says congratulations you've got "two" zero cost joint ventures. So obviousley Im thinkin I have two entities that will market my product to no cost to me and them split the profit. Oh how wrong was I.

Next step Mike discuss's how much his program costs. See the $500 and the hype (lie) is the bait. Now they tell you about the real costs. $1500-$7500. When you ask Mike what the difference is he cant give you a straight answer but im sure he came up with some bs since so many people are complaining. After you send Mike a check for $7500 you then get this "key letter" that is suppose to have all these contacts that want to see your product. It even says in the material that many of the people may not of heard of Mike hughes or Market ability becase of staff change ( yah right). So now its on you to seek out these people and push your product.

What a bunch of crap. Ok, now its time to cash in on you zero cost joint venture that he lured you in with. Guess what, your two zero cost joint ventures will cost you $1000- $1200 a piece. You know the ones the were supposed to be ZERO cost. This is such a scam I cant believe it. Mike then is suppose to represent you in trade shows. Yah, my bros first email was about how do deal with the "frustration" of being ignored and ripped off.

Then when you complain and ask for a refund Mike threatens you with all kinds of things. Mike Hughes is no more that a pompus Con Man that pretends to run a ligit business. You should read another report on here how bad he ripped off a Michgan man. Mike MO is threating letters, phone calls, and constant harassement.

I wonder if Mike wife and kids know that MIke makes his living from ripping off honest hard working people like my brother. Well third party reports that good ole Mike lives in sanfranciso for a reason, the young boys! Hey Mike whatever floats your boat. Mike maybe you and Michael jackson have something in common other than your name.

Anyhow, if your have been burned by this seasoned con man please contact me as we are gathering names for a class action suit. Mike hughes is more suited to sell used cars than pretend to run a business. So the bottom line is this: ZERO cost means $1000-$1200 per promised zero cost. $1500-$7500 is all for the same thing, Nothing! The key letter is just a bunch of business that never heard of Mike or marketability. Mike and his corrupt false company harrass you when you complain and threaten you with lawsuits, extorsion, and what ever else this arrogant idiot can think of. Hes a complete piece of s**t and so is his family!

Dont walk from this company and man RUN! Hey MIke if you want to sue me come get it! Im in the Oil business and I will eat your fat a** alive you p***k!

Mike did the same exact thing to me! I have done much research on him and his company and all it turns up is lies. He uses people and then throws them away like their garbage...I don't have a problem with his company anymore after speaking to their staff but he is still a complete liar and will use you at any chance he gets, BEWARE OF HIS TRICKS....  ?ta>

The only way to respond to a lie this big is with the whole truth!

AUTHOR: Mike Hughes - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, December 05, 2007

I've refrained until now from responding to Matt's complaint on this website because any place like this where a man, or a company, is judged guilty by a single individual with no evidence until proven innocent is unfair and truly Anti-American.

I fully realize that hate sites like this are a relatively new part of the internet. USAToday and Business Week tell us that we are all equally vulnerable now to unrelentingly vicious attacks like this so I do not fault you for visiting this site. But now that I fully understand its intent, I will never revisit it and hope you won't either.

If you wish to receive a fair and balanced truth about me or any company please do not look for it here or any venue like this for the sake of all honorable citizens and companies. If you respect fairness at all then rely only on legitimate American Agencies such as The Chamber of Commerce, The Better Business Bureau, The American Arbitration Association, or the American Judicial System. I support these organizations and institutions rather than a website that promotes unfairness and believes we should all hate and fear each other. I refuse to cower in the shadows of fear, anonymity or hate. I have absolutely no reason to.

I'm glad you already know my name because I stand behind it and I'm proud of it, where ever it goes, unlike "Matt" of East Lansing, Michigan, or his other aliases "Charles", "Joe", even "Anita" and more to come.

Thank you for all the kind support and helpful advice I've received from those who believe our company.

I now pledge to any reader that I will never waste another word of mine on this hateful site no matter what he does to me or says about me next. I choose to support the rights of all people by dealing only with legitimate and fair organizations.

We're an audio/video company so for the full truth please call us at 800-434-6275 and we can send you our video rebuttal. This will be the best education you can receive on what NOT to do in direct response marketing!

Sincere regards,

Mike Hughes
