RUDOLPH GIULIANI, Aka Rudy Giuiliani, Ex Mayor Of New York City Rudolph Giuliani Fails to Make Timely Response to Inquiry About his Associations with known scam artist JoJo Marengo New York New York

I am filing this as a discrete denunciation of the serial scammer JoJo Marengo because beyond his initial defrauding of me, he has been publishing lies about me that willfully misrepresent the documented business correspondence that took place between us.



Firstly, I want to clarify what JoJo Marengo was up to when he defrauded me of $750.

Certain scam publishers will set up a series of different magazines, with no intention of publishing any one of them for any great length of time.

They collect content (articles) from writers, leave the writers largely unpaid, show those articles to potential advertisers, collect the advertising money and then run off with it without giving the advertisers the paid promotions they were supposed to receive for their money.

Note that JoJo Marengo's and Umbrella Publishing's magazines include "Orange County's Best" "Brea's Best" et cetera, et cetera et cetera. He is using the same (mainly stolen) content in each magazine, slapping a different cover on the front and collecting from advertisers in each of the localities where he publishes (Fill-in-the-blanks' Best)

JoJo Marengo put a lot of pressure on me to make up my mind about selling him four articles and providing the complete texts by a certain deadline. He did that, not because he intended to print the articles and pay me for them but because he wanted to use my material without paying me for it in order to attract dollars from potential advertisers.

While I was defrauded by JoJo Marengo as a writer, I am in contact with an advertiser defrauded by JoJo Marengo for advertising dollars.



My interest in making these denunciations on line is to keep other unsuspecting persons from being defrauded by JoJo Marengo in the future.

Now, the entire story can be a bit involved, but not so involved that it is difficult to tell and document. So here below is the story.

On September 26, 2007, JoJo Marengo sent me this message,as part of ongoing business communications involving articles from me to be used in his "Orange County's Best" (but in no other magazine).

______________________________________________________

Scott i really love the way you write. you are marvelous.

OK I am an upstart. I print 10.000 and I mail them to homes worth $1million or more with a household income of $200.000 or more. They will love your pieces. November will be my fourth issue. I am not making any money yet but with stories like yours I am sure in no time at all I will be in the black. I want to use 4 of you pieces in the November issue. caviar, truffle, Kobe and the Haut Brion. after that I would like two stories in each of the issues.
_____________________________________________________

Though that message clearly stated that JoJo Marengo wanted to use four of my articles in his November issue, the issue was not published until December,and furthermore, it contained only one of my articles, and I received *no* communication from JoJo Marengo whatsoever as to what had happened with the other three pieces. Also, of interest to writers, JoJo Marengo published that one article *without* my by-line.

I did receive a payment for that one article, but, my business agreement with JoJo Marengo, which I had spent time over the course of weeks formulating in e-mails between us, was for four articles to appear in his November issue.

Throughout December and into January, I tried learning from JoJo Marengo what had become of our agreement. He made no response to my many e-mails, until that is I complained about his violation of our contract to writer's advocate Angela Hoy of WritersWeekly.

It should by the by be noted that subsequently, JoJo Marengo has claimed I had "no contract" with him. For a publisher to be operating in the modern-day internet world and not to understand at what point e-mail communications are considered legally-binding contracts is itself problematic. Persons thinking of contracting with JoJo

JoJo Marengo in his "rebuttal" here has again manipulated the complete record of business-related correspondence between us.

I have the complete record; if I went to the trouble of suing Mr. Marengo in small claims court, I would most certainly prevail.

However, I am New York-based, the small claims court venue for this would be in California, so obviously, for the $750 I was stiffed, going to court in California would not be worthwhile.

To anybody that comes across this, wondering if the risks of working for Mr. Marengo are worthwhile, please contact me or Angela Hoy of WritersWeekly.

I will gladly supply people with the complete record, so they can see that Mr. Marengo is lying.

This is a copy of our posted previously posted rebuttal to the complaint of Scott Rose on ripoff report:

To whom it may concern.

Although there is no contract with Mr. R (Scott Rose) we acknowledge that we did want to use 4 articles that were commissioned and paid for by another publication than ours.

Scott Rose sent us the Caviar article, we printed it and we paid him the agreed upon price in full.

We asked Scott Rose to send us a release allowing to use the caviar article as well as the other three articles in question.

Scott Rose wrote to us the following:

As a sample of what such a piece would look like, I attach an article on Haut-Brion white wines that I wrote for an upcoming issue of The Affluent Page magazine (www.theaffluentpage.com) Note that I do not at this time have resale rights to this piece.

Scott Rose did not send the releases showing that he has the right to resell the 4 pieces.

Printing any of these articles would have exposed us to possible lawsuits form the legal owners of the articles. Therefore, we pulled out the Haut-Brion article and terminated our relationship with Scott Rose.

although He has been paid for the article we printed in full Scott Rose has not the right to sell the articles that other publications paid for, Scott Rose keep harassing us with his venomous pen to pay him for articles that we did not print and that he has no right to sell to other publication.

Jojo Marengo



As for the other items listed by Scott Rose, I am afraid he is the victim of 3 destructive individuals playing a joke on all of us.

We all know that anyone can start a blog on the internet and write whatever they wish and attack God, the Pope, the US president or Christianity. Good or bad Google will soon pick it up and posted it on their site, This is the 21st century and this is part of our world.

We ask Scott Rose to find these three individuals if he can. One individual (who appears every 5 to 7 years to start an attack on a new art group. Last time it was the UE Contemporary Museum of Art. This individual claims to be an art critic living in South Africa. However there are no articles written by him to be found anywhere. Another claims to be a great artist living in Manchester UK, however there is no artwork done by her in any galleries or on any website anywhere. And a third person, a woman, claims to be a Belgian artist but again no website or gallery showing her art anywhere.

These 3 individuals started few internet blogs, specially created to attack only the World Art Foundation, my family and my person. Our lawyers investigations are unable to find anyone who knows who they are. No one ever met them in person. They have no address, office or place of employments. They are totally underground. There are rumors that they might be teenage pranksters or even prison inmates having fun with their various blogs.

For example: Although we publish the Brea Best magazine they write that there no Brea Califonia, no Umbrella publishing, no World Art Expo. they write daily anything else they please.

Scott Rose will be doing us a great favor if he can identify our attackers and where we can find them. If he can provide us with even one address it will be appreciated.
