Stonewell Bookkeeping Group - Robert Reyna, Theft of Intellectual Property, Fraudulent and Unethical Business Practices Corpus Christi Texas

How it started:

We were contacted by a business notifying us that our logo was being used in a review on the Stonewell Bookkeeping Group website, and wondering if it was our review since their logo was used in the same manner.

We visited the Stonewell website and saw the fraudulent review. We immediately sent a cease and desist email, along with a certified letter. The business that notified us also informed us that Stonewell took days and multiple requests to remove their logo.

Within 24 hours we received an email response from Robert Reyna, claiming his developer made a mistake; he then informed us in another email 20 minutes later that the logo was removed (however the same review exists with another logo). That is when the quid pro quo harassment started.

Robert threatened to leave bad reviews against my business if our BBB review about his fraudulent use of our logo wasn't removed.

While he did leave a fake review on Google, he later removed it after multiple threats made to me to say nothing to the BBB in exchange for removing his malicious Google review.

Even though the BBB has done nothing about Stonewell or Robert Reyna as an accredited business, every time I leave a BBB review he responds to us directly with more quid pro quo threats, in that if we don't stop reporting what he does he will retaliate. 

How it's going:

Since neither myself nor my business partner negotiate with terrorists or scammers, we continue to research Robert Reyna and his Stonewell franchise. 

We are also making reports to various entities about his fraudulent theft of intellectual property for monetary gains and other unethical business practices. 

Robert continues to contact us; he now uses profanity in his emails, and he claims my business partner's RipOff report is harassment. 

Reporting fraudulent activities is not harassment -- it's a civic duty. Creating false reviews with stolen logos, which is false information, in order to sell a service and make money is deceptive and completely fraudulent. 

I do hope this report is found by anyone doing their due diligence when it comes to dealing with Robert Reyna and Stonewell Bookkeeping Group.
