Mike Hughes and his wife ripped us off for over $20,000 with lies of zero cost joint ventures that produced nothing. It happened so fast we didnt know what hit us. Mike and his horrible wife are scam artists with a horrible lewid past. Mike was a failed comic in New york city and lived on the streets with the homeless people. Mike turned to prostitution for money to survive. Mike would get abused by many of the transient people that paid him five dollars for his services which included anything sexual. Mike even enjoyed being deficated and urinated on. It wasnt until Mike answered an ad in the paper for a clean up man for a local TV station that he got out of his perdicament. Mike learned a few scams after hours when all the big shots went home. Mike went to work trying to figure out a way to make money. Mike copied a scam he learned that was going on from the station. Mike then took his act to california were it is now called marketability inc. This scam business promises the moon and delivers nothing. Mike and his wife have ripped of hundereds of people to live the good life. Mike also became a regular at the chicken ranch in nevada were prostitution is legal. If you have ever seen Mike Hughes you would know that he must pay for sex. The chicken ranch is were Mike met his current wife Anita/Nancy. Anita/Nancy was one of the most poplular women even though she wasnt very good looking. Mike had the bright idea to make her his wife so he wouldnt have to pay for it so she agreed. To keep her living the good life Mike had to perform by bringing home so cash so he decided to ripp people off with his well perfected scam. Mike now drives around in his Volvo (leased) and thinks hes a big man. Marketability is under investigation by the FTC and other government agencies and will soon be shut down. Class actions suit are in the making as of now as there are dozens of people signing on. More to come once people realize a sit like this is available. I have been keeping track of Mike hughes ever since he ripped us off and want to warn others. Dont do business with this scam artist as you will lose your money!! GUARANTEED!!

We apologize Mr. & Mrs. Hughes for "Anita" who is really our partner Matthew D. Peck, Matt "The Imposter" Peck aka VIP Health Success Coach.

AUTHOR: Peck's Partners - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 01, 2008

Poor Mr. & Mrs. Hughes they got caught up on a feud between product promoter partners, but most of us on all on Mr. Hughes's side as you'll see not on th eside of Matthew D. Peck or "Anita" as he prefers.

Anita is actually Matt Peck "The Internet Imposter" weight loss scammer. Peck's just a teeny little bit stupid cause last time he wrote as "Anita of Walnut Creek" about Mike he said he'd paid Mike $12,000 now he's madder today so he's saying Anita paid Mike $20,000 and she's the one talking about defication not Matt Peck. Right Peck. We are all as stupid as you. And Peck sometimes has difficulty remembering is "He" "Anita" or is Mike's wife "Anita?" whatever? When he wrote as "Joe" he couldn't remember if he was himself or his own brother-in-law he switches stories so much. So enjoy a good laugh is you like reading about aliens in the White House or wierder things - like Matt Peck's actual brain.

We are Matt Peck's partners in his Weight Loss Patch scam once we turned on Peck for screwing us with his phony Weight Loss Patch he can't hurt all of us so he's taking it out on Hughes and now his family. Peck ain't got no family or anyone who even can stand being around him. We work with Peck at the GM plant where he runs his scams on work time.

Meet the real Matt Peck muscle bound moron of the century right here because everytime he writes anything here or anywhere as any of his "Imposter Characters" we are going to paste who he really is right here there and everywhere until Matt Peck is the most laughably famous scammer "Imposter" on the internet.

Here is the real story of this "Anita" posting: we know becasue we are Matthew Peck's partnerrs in Michigan but we are tired of him blaming his being a failure on everyone else while swindling money and telling people to "Choose to be Great" to get your $2,000 bucks before he trashes you on the internet to get more money from you all the while he's a frikin factory rat like the rest of us at the GM plant.

If you enjoyed Matt as "Anita" read more of Matt Peck's thoughts in his books Ageless4Life and How to lose 27 Pounds in 27 Days. We all get loans from work so I'm sure GMAC Financing will love to finance his next condo when they get a load of the real Matt Peck's mind.

Matt is the founder of the FTC banned Weight Loss Patch fiasco. He wishes he was Mike Hughes wife because as you can read for yourself he is obviously a sexual pervert in addition to every other mental illness he enjoys when playing characters like his newest pose as "Anita", or "Joe" or "Charles" or a GM Engineer, or as an author, or as a poo poo eater. Meet Matt Peck in lip stick and high heels as Anita. Meet Matt Peck as Joe

Everything Matt Peck writes or says to communicate to another human is a lie but this time they are pretty funny lies about Peck's secret doo doo fetishes.

We are all just so d**n mad at Peck for falling for that stupid wieght loss patch the government banned.

Here's the real story on "Anita" aka Matt Peck obviously anybody can see Peck's trustworthy.

We are Matt Peck's real partners in Michigan in his Weight Loss Patch scheme and we deny all the lies he has told about us and Mr. Hughes on this web site and all the illegal stuff he done to to get money.

Peck claims to have set the record straight in his retraction but really he just told more lies. The ONLY true reason Matt Peck's Weight Loss Patch TV commercial never aired is; it was Red Flagged by the Federal Trade Commission as a fake product. Peck never had the scientific evidence the right people asked for, to show that his weight loss products work. Then, the FTC investigation determined that Weight Loss Patches do not cause Weight Loss, banned it from sale and imposed heavy fines. Read the FTC's final ruling you'll find here.

The "Red Flagging" by the media people and the FTC along with the ongoing investigation into the Weight Loss Patch by the Federal Trade Commission is the sole reason that Peck became too afraid of facing heavy fines to air his Weight Loss Patch TV commercials Hughes produced for us. Any other reason Peck gives is only to get Hughes to pay for Peck's own stupidity and product mistakes. Matt Peck has proven himself to be a criminal in everything he tries - product fraud, extortion even physical violence threats. He ain't ever done nothing else I know of except work as a pipe fitter in Michigan. From now on we are cutting all ties with Peck. Our wives hope that helping Hughes stop Peck might save our jobs or keep us all out of jail along with Peck.

Read this investigation and report from the US Government and you'll see the only reason why Matt Peck won't ever run his Weight Loss Patch product on TV no matter what Hughes was willing to offer him.

Weight Loss Patch Manufacturer Banned from Selling.
Weight-Loss Patches, Will Pay $180,000

FTC: Products Worn or Rubbed on the Skin Do Not Cause Weight Loss
A company and its owner are banned from selling weight-loss patches in the future and will pay $180,000 to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that advertising claims for their weight-loss patches were false and unsubstantiated.
According to the FTC, Transdermal Products International Marketing Corporation and William H. Newbauer sold a supposed weight-loss patch to about two dozen domestic and foreign retailers, and provided them with sample deceptive advertising and bogus substantiation materials, including purported expert endorsements and clinical studies of their weight-loss patch by Marvin Kaplan. The retailers in turn used these materials to sell the weight-loss patches to consumers in the U.S. and abroad. The sample advertising made false or unsubstantiated claims about the product, including that it caused weight loss and that the main ingredient, sea kelp, had been approved by the FDA for weight loss.
The order entered against the defendants requires that they pay $180,000 in three $60,000 payments over 18 months. If they fail to make their payments on time or if they materially misled the Commission as to the extent of their ability to pay the order calls for a judgment against them of $900,000.
In addition to banning them from selling weight-loss patches, the order also bars the defendants from making claims that have been identified by the FTC as raising red flags for false weight-loss advertising, including that a product worn or rubbed on the skin is effective for weight loss; that it causes substantial weight-loss without reducing calories or increasing exercise; that it safely enables users to lose more than three pounds per week for a period of more than four weeks; or that it causes permanent weight loss. In addition, the defendants cannot misrepresent that the FDA has approved or is about to approve any transdermal product, dietary supplement, food, drug, device or cosmetic for its intended use. Also, they cannot claim that any of these types of products cause weight loss or melt or burn body fat or affect the body's metabolism of fat unless they have competent and reliable scientific evidence to back up the claim. Finally, the order prohibits the defendants from providing their trade customers with the means and instrumentalities to make false and deceptive claims.
The Commission vote to authorize staff to file the stipulated final order was 5-0. Senior District Court Judge Thomas N. O'Neill, Jr., signed the order, which was entered in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, call 1-877-382-4357.

We were Matt Peck's partners in East Lansing, Michigan before we all got into a big fight over our money with Peck because he conned us all just to make himself feel like "The Big Man" he's not. He's a total weasel.

Everything is only about himself. Matt Peck this and Matt Peck that. Matt Peck can do anything. Matt Peck is so great. Be just like Matt Peck he says. Matthew Peck is the big author. Matthew Peck is knows everything about everything. I'm surprised he didn't write that Matt Peck is an astrunaut too when he's not in the factory. There is no lie to big for this guy to tell about himself. Just look at his phoney web site about bein an author. Matt Peck, like us earns about 30 dollars an hour as a GM Factory worker. He is struggling to make ends meet in Michigan's failing economy and he is desperate and will say or do anything to promote his scams for money.

Peck is always talking about what a big deal he is and like he's better than everybody else at work. So he tells us he's got this secret formula Weight Loss Patch he discovered and he knows everything about losing weight and this is great so we can all make a lot of money. Peck asks people he knows around work if we can give him $1,000, the money he needs to put it on TV. He tells us he doesn't have any money since his divorce.

But with Mr. Hughes Peck's real straight and tells him about his engineering background and how he has all this scientific studies that the slim Patch works good and is guaranteed and everything. Matt tells him how great the Weight Loss Patch is and that he's a General Motor's Professional Engineer and all and a former Mr. Michigan and a lot of other titles too and that he has all this done research that it will help anybody lose weight.

So Mike tells Peck he can produce two TV commercials about the weight loss patch for $6,000. He'll run one of them on national TV and he runs the other one the internet on our web site and Matt can sign off on the script first. He said he'd get Matt the TV commercial he wanted for the weight loss patch. Peck tells us that seemed real fair enough. Especially since, Matt just found the product from some other product company online.

So after Matt gets six of us to each put up money because he doesn't have two nickles to rub together himself because of his divorce. Peck told us people are lazy and will buy anything from him because he's buffed, probably steriods. So he says he promises we'll all get our money back. So we all give Peck $500 bucks each for the TV commercials and he sends our $3,000 to Mr. Hughes to get him started. After we get the commercial and we all look at it and are real excited about it and all the money Peck tells us we'll be making on TV soon.

If Matt Peck tells anybody else you'll lose 27 Pounds in 27 days with his Transdermal Skin Patch - he's lying. That's how he hooked "his Partners" into investing our money with him by telling us he knew it was a great product and that he done all research and had actual proof that it worked good.

Just when were all ready to start to running the TV airings and start making the big bucks that Matt promised us all. One of the wives is smart enough to find out more about it than Peck. She found out Peck didn't know what he was was talking about. That bombshell hit us all like a ton of bricks and how the FTC had Red Flagged his weight loss patch as a fake and how we'll all probably get in big trouble if we try to sell it at all on TV. Peck had to know it was a fake. He says he knows everything about health products so we trusted him.

So now everybody is freaking out and mad as hell at Peck about being such an idiot while he's acting like he knows everything about health products and always is acting like he better than everybody. This was all Peck's idea and he's the one told he knew everything about weight loss and how he studies products all the time. Some guys are really pissed off because he got us so excited for nothing.

So Peck tells us us he heard you can just start trashing any company online if they don't give you some money. He told us he was going to do that to Mr. Hughes to get our money back so he could do another idea he had. He told us to wait and he'd get us money. He said he'd threaten Hughes and cost em more money on this rip off site if they didn't give it to him. Peck's the one give us the BS about the patch and who lied to us all not Mr. Hughes. If anyone owes anybody anything, Matt owes us money. Naturally Mr. Hughes' TV company wouldn't give him money back just cause Peck's lied about knowing what he was talking about.

It drives Peck ballistic that we all think he's just a big mouth muscle brain now. We are all stressesd out here in Michigan because our economy is down the drain and our housing prices have fallen almost 30 percent this year. Some of us owe more on our houses than the house is worth and Peck is in the same boat as us. He is even trying to sell his condo now. So he says he's going to get our money back just to show he's a hot shot. So he starts writing Mr. Hughes and threating his company if he doesn't send our money back. I told him that Hughes does not owe us the money Peck, you do. Peck is the one who fell for the stupid weight loss patch and all the scientific evidence he told everybody he had, but didn't. Hughes produced the TV commercials he promised us. You are the one who found the phoney weight loss patch that doesn't do anything, Peck. You are the big Health Guru Peck who told all of us those things about it.

Hughes took Peck to court and won cause Peck was just lying. Peck couldn't prove anything he was saying because he just made up stuff like always and he knew it. So when that didn't work on Hughes, Peck tells us he'll get our money for us by running some new weight loss scam online about making $150 an hour and only needs six suckers at $2,000 each to get us our money back. I learned the hard way that if you want to know Matt Peck just think the opposite of anything he tells you like his VIP Health Success Coaching system.

When Hughes tried to collect the money he won in court he also demanded that Peck write a more Genuine Retraction like a legal document and all. Then Peck got even more uppitty because he lost to Hughes in court. So he sent a letter threatening to destroy Mr. Hughes and his car and his business and sent the letter from the GM plant and said it was from us, his own partners. Not himself.

Peck told Hughes his partners wrote all the crap about him online not Peck. Peck even death threatened Hughes in the letter but said was from us. He told Hughes his partners were going to destroy him and hack his back account online and then the dirty b*****d Peck signed the letter from us, not him. Like he had nothing to do with it. He goes poor Matt he's all innocent and everything was just the six of us and not him. Peck sent it from our GM work fax this time just so he could put this on us instead of him.

Peck thinks every body is as stupid as he is. So I called Mr. Hughes directly to tell him it wasn't us, it was only Peck. And how Peck is saying things about us that ain't true too, and how he's screwing all of us for money. I wanted him to know that when he goes to the FBI that Matt's death threats are not coming from us just because he says so.

Peck is doin nothin but gettin all of us in big, big trouble. The union is already pissed as hell because he's running his scams at work. GM is pissed too and took our fax machine out so Peck couldn't use it no more at work. Peck knows everybody is on to him so he goes files a fake police report that somebody stole his lap top so he wouldn't get busted if they get a FBI search warrant for his apartment and get his computer where he's made death threats to Mr. Hughes.

Hughes called the bosses at GM. We warned Peck that we would call Mr. Hughes ourselves if he didn't stop threatening him and telling these lies he writes about Hughes and us too. GM couldn't prove Peck sent it from work because Peck signed it being from us his Partners. Our wives told us to call Mr. Hughes to apologize and tell him all about what Peck was doing to him and threatening him to get money was just wrong.

After the US Government investigation into his weight loss patch started Peck panicked and didn't want to risk putting it on TV anymore and go broke getting fined by the FTC for lying, so we tell him he still owes us the money back he borrowed because he guaranteed we'd all get rich.

We have had to listen to Peck about this Weight Loss Patch for four years because he can't come up with any money. So some of the partners we've banded together against Peck so when he goes to criminal trial we are on the record together this was all Matt Peck's doing not ours as he claims. When somebody goes down for this its going to be Peck not us.

Even after Peck wrote the retraction about hughes he only starts writing more BS about Hughes using different names of people he made up like Charles and Joe and Anita. Look at the top of the one he wrote from "Joe" Peck wrote "Matt" at the top and "Joe" at the bottom. Juicing will drive a person lunatic like that. In the Charles complaint Peck wrote first he claims to be the brother and then he forgets and admits its himself.

Then the idiot signs it "Mat" on the retraction instead of "Matt". He can't even spell his own first name then he expects you to think he can write a book.

Peck had every opportunity possible to walk away from his mental breakdown but he can't resist lashing out at everyone he comes in contact with. We wanted to let it go and walk away. Hughes told me wanted to let it go and walk away. Not Matt "Roid Rage" Peck wouldn't let him, He trashed his own partners in the the retraction and then he wrote more stuff about Hughes. The man is a serial liar and cannot control his urges and impulses to lie and hurt people and their reputations. Peck needs a family intervention to get him off the juice before he gets even worse. Peck on a slippery slope into the Michigan prison system fast.

We are afraid of Peck too. He gets into one of those "Roid Rages" he might do anything to one of us. So we just told Mr. Hughes we'd tell the truth about Peck and if all this comes to light at a trial please say we tried to help. Mr. Hughes says he just want to move on but he's keeping a close eye on Peck.

Do not give Matthew Peck any information about you. Especially do not give Matt Peck any financial information such as credit card information. He has threatened people that he will steal their identity and devastate their life. (He has a web site www.mattpeck .info it's all made up stuff. You would be a fool to leave credit information there or send any money to this fool Peck.
