I replied to a craig's list posting for a personal assistant for actor/singer Josh Bredehoft. Only to find out many inconsistencies with his story...

First, I noticed that neither him or his company had a website, only various myspace pages. The position said it paid 40-50k a year and he had 6 ASSISTANTS! I thought well thats odd! He is not well known and he is offering this kind of money to ALL his assistants. But I figured his parents were rich and he had money to throw around.

The more research I did the more uneasy I felt about him. There was a FAKE myspace profile for MTV with JOSH B as #1 top friend. His reality show 'Hollywood and Vine' was #2 and supposedly scheduled to hit MTV in January 09'. He also has a single called 'Pocket Change' that allegedly sold 1.5 million copies. But his music myspace has recorded only 30,000 views. mmmhmm.

None-the-less I decided to try it out. Heres the catch there is a two day (NON PAID) trial period for all his assistants. He told me to show up at his 'office' (which was a garage) at 8am and bring club attire. Thats right! club attire. Meaning I would be there until at least 3am. thats a 19 hour day. and that was only Day 1. While I was there his assistant Lauren got a call from a disgruntled ex employee who was screaming at her so loud I could hear across the room.

His 1st assistant paige has been interviewing assistants since the middle of Summer 08! I'm sure that the reason for this is to enlist FREE help for 2 days to help his public persona and increase buzz around his career. NOT EVEN HUGE CELEBS HAVE 6 ASSISTANTS! By continually adding assistants for 2 days at time he gets 2 LONG days work out of these hopeful candidates and in turn releases them after the trail period. There is NO reality show. His 'new single' has been out for more than 2 years.

Since I've begun to post blogs about him on the internet he has contacted numerous times threatening to sue me for $100,000 and put me in jail! Little does he know I am springing in to action to STOP this from happening again.

PLease help me spread the word and if you or someone you know has a similar story PLEASE contact me ASAP. .

Avoided this guy thankfully

AUTHOR: bons222000 - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 18, 2009

I responded to an ad for Josh B about last November or December.  I remember meeting at a Starbucks and meeting one of his personal assistants who had asked me to dress "fashionably" and "all in black".  I thought this was strange but I obliged.  When I got to Starbucks she said he had 3 personal assistants and was looking to hire 4 more.  I thought this was really strange, seeing as how big celebrities don't even have more than a couple of assistants, but I went to the interview anyway.  I was told about a big MTV reality show that was to debut in January 09, also about how the paparazzi was "Just getting wind" of Josh.  He also supposedly ran some big film production companies and could pay me $45k a year to start, with a possibility of future employment as a director or producer for his film company.  It seemed too good to be true...

I was told I'd get a call in the next two days about coming into work.  She said the average day was about 18 hours and we'd travel to Europe and Japan as part of his promotions for his TV show.  Well I got home that night and did some research on Josh.  For quite the famous actor/producer he had only one imdb credit.  I've worked in low production on some films and have about 5, so to have 1 is clearly a red flag.  I also listened to his "huge" song Pocket Change and thought it was just about the worst thing I'd ever heard in my life (and for a song that sold 1.5 million copies, only 30k hits on Myspace?).  Then I tried to look up his reality show and saw that there was no mention of it anywhere, nobody had heard of it or him, and there was nothing like that in development.

I got a call that night to come in and be ready to start a 2 day trial period which would probably last for 18 hours a day.  I said thanks, but no thanks.  I regretted it for a while because what if this guy did hit big?  Well, I got curious and looked him up.  THANK GOD I did not go in for that 2 day trial because I would have been there for months.  My instincts really helped me on this one.

My experiences with Josh B, as it ACTUALLY happened...

AUTHOR: Beanywood - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Okay...I haven't said anything about my experiences with Josh Bredehoft for a number of months because I've been overly optimistic and hopeful that he would turn out to be a good guy, but unfortunately, my experiences had indicated that this is not true. The following information is factual. I am not attempting to slander his name, but just execising my first amendment right and reporting what happened to me so that others may be forewarned:

In January 2009 I responded to job ID number 982863504 on Craigslist, for a personal assistant for an up and coming young celebrity. I got a call back the next day from Paige, Josh's 1st assistant. I did my 2 day unpaid trial and got the position. The agreement was that my annual salary was to be 57K and that as soon as Josh's HR manager got back from vacation, I would meet with him to sign all necessary paperwork.

Josh was a really nice guy, seemed hardworking, genuine, and legit, so I said okay. I worked 17 -18 hour days, sometimes even sleeping over in his home office, which was garage/shed/ room annexed on to his house in Glendale, CA.
I was dedicated, and would even front money for gas, food, office supplies, (approx $200 total), with the impression that I would be compensated upon giving him the receipt for these items, which i did.

To make a LONG story short, I worked for Josh Bredehoft for a little over a month, and never received a paycheck. I went home sick one day and told him when I felt better, I'd give him a buzz to see when I could come back. Well I kept calling and calling and couldnt get in contact with either him or his other assistant. After a few days, I finally did, a which time and told me he thought that i quit. I was so upset that I hadnt received any money and was ignored for 3 days that I told him that at this point i actually do quit. He said okay and said he'd mail my check. That was 2/11/09.

Off and on for the next couple of months, I'd call, text, or email Josh concerning the whereabouts of my money, and he'd always have a semi believable story, so I was patient.

The last time I actually spoke to him was around mid June at which time he lamented about all his economic hardships and I felt bad so I hold him he can make payments to me or at least keep me posted.

Today is July 29th and I just called his phone, which has either been disconnected or is blocking my number and I havent received my money still.

I find it odd that there's video footage (with 3 news assistants) of him talking about all these project and Im sure he's paying these new girls, but he still cant pay me. Check out the links for yourself: http://it.truveo.com/Josh-Bredehoft-Shops-and-Talks/id/2479098412.

**And just in case you think im a loser with no life and way to much time on my hands, think again becase I dedicated a lot of time, energy, and money to working him him, and it was basically all in vain. I even had to move back home, across the country, due to the stress and financial bind he placed me in..

And as far as thisbreaking my contract, this point is void. I never met with an HR manager, never received a copy of the contract, and you obviously have not lived up to your end of the agreement, and freedom of speech and press is a right that you, Josh B, cannot take away.

FYI, again, i am not attempting to bad mouth Josh B, I am reporting what happened to me. And Josh, if you are reading this, I know you know exactly who this is, so please find a way to get in contact with me, and good luck with life.

** Here's the links on poptv.com with me in the video to prove that I did indeed work for him:

1. http://www.poptv.com/2009/01/14/paparazzi-henrys-star-encounters-11309-h2413/ (8 minutes, 35 seconds) I am the black girl on the left side.

2.http://www.poptv.com/2009/01/16/h2415-paparazzi-henrys-star-encounters-11509/ ( 8 Minutes, 3 seconds) Im on his right side. black girl with braids.


I actually would really like it to either be contacted by Josh B directly, seeing this is probably the only way I have to get in contact with him, or someone with a higher level of authority to assist me. Thank you!!!!


And the only reason I'm making a big deal about this is that He owes me $4000, if you break down my annual salary, divided by the 5 and 1/2 weeks i worked for him. and i'm not asking for a freebie. this is the money i am entitled to.

Response to suggestion

AUTHOR: Zcalitruth19 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Hello,

I'm responding to a few comments made by Josh Bredehoft in this forum. Josh, we did do our research as you suggested. You, or 'your people' if you will, suggested that we contact your lawyers at "Emon Courts Law Firm." You also mentioned that we should ask them and they would tell us they represent you in great numbers, etc. etc. Well we did just that.. and even though we knew what they would say, we did so anyway.

Josh (and his people) you should know how the law works in California. According to the representative at Emon Courts they cannot say at all if they represent YOU or anyone for that matter. It's a breach of attorney-client privilege. I think it's pretty humorous that you ask us to check on it when that's the response they give us.

If people have a concern, then this is where they have a right to discuss it. Hence the purpose of this site. It's your choice to run a company, and you have a right to respond of course. All I see here though is threats from 'people who care about josh.' In this forum people are complaining about him and his business.. as a business owner he should respond.

If he does indeed have lawyers we request that he post the lawyer/firms name with an individual that we can speak to. Providing us a huge law firm that refuses to say whether or not they represent him comes across as nothing more than intimidation.

I think it would be very beneficial if Josh Bredehoft responded with how we may contact him or his attorneys.

I don't care what loyal fan you are of josh or what not.. threatening and such will get you nowhere. This is not a forum for cussing or to make threats. If people have concerns Josh, then you should speak up for yourself and try to have a discussion with those who have concerns especially if it's about your business.

It's usually better when people have complaints that the business/owner and consumer try to communicate with one another and try to come to an understanding of the disagreement.

Just a thought...

You are just a stupid dumb f*k. He is on Poptv and when you google his name tons of things come up. One actually of paparazzi following him. I really don't think if he was nobody they would care. Plus you might say he pays them but I think they have bigger celebs to shoot for money. I know a few people who do get paid from his team. And now he has a big team with his lawyers Emon Counts Law Firm. Go ahead call them and ask. Because if you indeed intern you idiot for his company. That means "no pay". And if you signed a contract you just broke it. And will be sued big time for false information and not having facts. His lawyers are already talking to rip off report and tracking down all of people who posted false information. Trust me there are more fans and people who like Josh B. Not just a small group of losers who he dismissed nor maybe never even liked your sorry a*s. He has new music out on his myspace and I tunes. And I found videos on youtube you dumb f*k. I love working for Josh his manager, agents and his team. And honestly you don't go to jail over money you f*king idot. Thats why they made that rule in the state a long time ago! Wow you really are f*king idots. Josh is UNSTOPPABLE!!! And he is only going up past you haters and fakes! You think all you 7 people who don't like him even matter. Trust me theres a lot of celebs people don't like lol. And if you don't have haters then your not making it. Just be ready to get a call from his lawyers. And all of you are so sad. And you will not hurt him or his team nor his career. So bring it on b*ches!

Plus you might say he pays them but I think they have bigger celebs to shoot for money. I know a few people who do get paid from his team. And now he has a big team with his lawyers Emon Counts Law Firm. Go ahead call them and ask. Because if you indeed intern you idiot for his company. That means "no pay". And if you signed a contract you just broke it. And will be sued big time for false information and not having facts. His lawyers are already talking to rip off report and tracking down all of people who posted false information. Trust me there are more fans and people who like Josh B. Not just a small group of losers who he dismissed nor maybe never even liked your sorry a*s. He has new music out on his myspace and I tunes. And I found videos on youtube you dumb f*k. I love working for Josh his manager, agents and his team. And honestly you don't go to jail over money you f*king idot. Thats why they made that rule in the state a long time ago! Wow you really are f*king idots. Josh is UNSTOPPABLE!!! And he is only going up past you haters and fakes! You think all you 7 people who don't like him even matter. Trust me theres a lot of celebs people don't like lol. And if you don't have haters then your not making it. Just be ready to get a call from his lawyers. And all of you are so sad. And you will not hurt him or his team nor his career. So bring it on b*ches!

Someone please stop John Bredehoft!

I just want to get straight to the point, Everything this guy says in this complaint is what happened to me also (but worse). I had a slightly different address for his "company": 1262 Vista Court, Glendale, CA 91205, (310) 880-4105

Josh Bredehoft is NOT a celebrity. Before I went to my first day there, he had NOT ONE video on youtube (Strange, as he claimed to have been on a TV show). I tried to check him out, but there was very little about him on the internet.

But celebrities DO advertise on Craigslist. I have previously and currently work for a celebrities who advertise anonymously on craigslist. They have computers just like you. But Josh doesn't seem to pay people and he does not fit in the celebrity category.

To the people who post pro-Josh Bredehoft entries here, I hope you go to jail like he does. It's very possible that all of us will create a facebook group that has more of us, than he has fans.

Here is the ad as it ran on January 14, 2009. Please flag it if you see it on other sites, so others won't have to go through what we went through...And someone please tell SAG:

opinions/facts

AUTHOR: Trickle1983 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, April 27, 2009

I met with kid and had a great business transaction with him...then saw all these comments without any facts(just opinions) ....and we all know opinions are like assholes everyones got one ....

I would say do you research if your to stupid to do research then you deserve what you get....there are no shortcuts in life ...and as for working for free....what are you people dumber then dirt if you didn't want to work for free leave ,did this guy chain you to the floor and force you to work for him , i doubt it, you decided to make your own choice and stay , now that it didn't workout the way you wanted to its time to bad mouth someone else for your regreat/mistakes.....The American way blame someone else for your choices....im sure ill get a response saying that he lied or misrepresent himself well that is where you put your 2 brain cells tougher and do your research and get facts not opinions like on here.....ACTUAL FACTS and make an informed decision....

this goes to the first post by Brett again you say you did your research"Only to find out many inconsistencies with his story..."

"felt unease about him" then you write "None-the-less I decided to try it out" you have to be pretty stupid to think all that and in the end to decided to "try it out" so you saying you knew all that stuff as fact and you still worked for him ...how how stupid and dumb do you look ....and you deserve what you got for making a stupid choice.

Again i would love to see some facts...refear back to the first paragraph about opinions (there like assholes everyones got one).....

That "fan" talked to his manager? Hard to believe. I have been contacted by more than five people with the same story about Josh. I think it's absolutely humorous that this "fan" (Josh) attributes Josh's ripoff report on his celebrity status. It must be hard walking down the street being attacked by pre-paid paparazzi.

Listen. This guy is garbage, and is operating illegally by running a "business" out of his mom and dad's garage. He doesn't have a business liscense or the consent with the city. I welcome of his lawyers to come at me.

Josh Bredehoft is not a fraud and criminal. All that is lies and people who don't like josh

AUTHOR: Loyaljoshbfan - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 10, 2009

So as a loyal fan we got in contact with his manager. And this guy named brett who met Josh once before and dose not like him. Started posting all theses lies and opinions on our boy Josh B. It is a lot of things that he can get sued for. If you know facts it's different. But this guy dose not know s**t about Josh. I know for a fact Josh does not steal anything nor takes people social lol. It its the most f**ked up lie. But there are so many celebs out there that get all kinds of fake bull s**t made up. Im here to defend our boy Josh. And stand up against this loser who has all the time in the world. And in a way he is just making Josh B more famous. This brett guy has no idea that he will be going to court for all the fake posting's he has been posting. Josh's team can call each and every blog with the police and find out who is behind and where the source comes from. What city and from the address. You can hate Josh B and make up all your lies about him and his employes, friends. But just think before you go and make a blog that some can't be taken down. It can you in some big trouble. I have talked to Josh's team and manager. And I will be posting this everywhere on the blogs that guy has posted these lies about him up. I don't care if you don't like him or think he will never make it. But know you s**t before you go and say in my opinion bull s**t. A lot of people have Josh's back and you don't f**k with our boy. And if your gonna have the balls to say who you are. But you don't cus your a piece of s**t who knows you all full of it. So we all have Josh's back and love him.
And he does not do any of those things this guy is saying. But Josh knows the more famous you get the more things just come out that are not true. But to say he takes those things about someone is not just an opinion. You are implying something. And just be very careful!
Oh on the brighter side. Josh has new music coming out this month. They confirmed it and he is in a movie called Dockwiler on IMDB.
GO JOSH B! WE LOVE YOU FOREVER!

You should have checked him out....

AUTHOR: Joe - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, February 22, 2009

Has he ever been arrested?

Does he have any outstanding warrants?

Did you check with Screen Actors Guild or the Trade Guild for singers to see if he was ever a member?

I would have heard about him because I have heard about almost everyone who is any good in music and THIS CREEP I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF!

I don't think he could have possibly have been anything more than a featured film extra and I have been one of those myself in numerous films.

SIX assistants?

I think this gentleman has SERIOUS MENTAL ISSUES. Let's try that he either wants to be a PIMP or her has major reality issues --NOBODY has that many personal assistants!

HE IS ASKING YOU TO WORK FOR FREE AND THAT IS PROHIBITED BY FEDERAL WAGE AND HOUR LAW! IT IS AGAINST THE FEDERAL LABOR LAW!

An audition is one thing but ASKING YOU TO WORK FOR FREE IS EXPLOITATIVE AND ILLEGAL.

In fact, you could SUE him.

At the very least, turn him in to Wages and HOurs so they can stop his little scam.

THIS GUY APPEARS TO ME TO BE SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL --completely devoid of any contact with reality --PSYCHOPATHIC in a word. Goodle it. Look it up and you will see how lucky you were to get away from him.

DO NOT LOOK FOR WORK ON CRAIGSLIST!

THAT WHOLE SITE --ESPECIALLY UNDER JOBS IS A SCAM
IT GOT SO BAD HERE IN AUSTIN,TEXAS THAT THEY HAD TO CHARGE EMPLOYERS $25 PER JOB LISTING TO USE IT.

SOUNDS LIKE TO ME YOU NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM TOO AND TO LET YOUR LOCAL POLICE OFFICERS KNOW ABOUT HOW WEIRD THIS GUY IS. I SUSPECT SOONER OR LATER ONE OF THESE " ASSISTANTS " MIGHT END UP DISAPPEARING ...

YOU ARE GOOD TO BE AWAY FROM THAT GUY IF WHAT YOU SAY IS THE CASE.

he is indeed a fraud and a criminal

AUTHOR: Swansonjd77 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, February 22, 2009

hello,

I too am a victim of Josh B! He's a scam artist and is quite calculating in his ways. I cannot tell you the headache he has caused myself and family. Do not trust him with your money or anything involving your identity.

I thought I was the only victim of him. Sad to see I am not.

I, too, am filing a police report. Do not believe anything he tells you. If you both could contact me I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Derek

Couldn't agree more!

AUTHOR: Rowbaldwin - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, January 30, 2009

I too fell into this scam, about 2 wks ago...

Someone called me, and told me to myspace/google this guy. So I did, when I found his myspace his song is nearly 2 years old. Also, all of his comments on his page are made by people that don't exist. All the profiles are fake, he must have created them to get more publicity.

His agency doesn't exist. When I called Paige back she said their office is based out of Glendale, on his myspace it says Beverly Hills. Under the WGA list of agencies it isn't listed. Under imdbPRO it isn't listed. It is a fake company he started.

The same can be said for his record label company... It just doesn't exist.

When I called up to the Starbucks, in Glendale, that they tell you to meet at... They say they come in all the time, dressing in all black -- which they'll tell you to dress in all black FYI -- and Starbucks manager said she cannot kick them out, because they buy coffee. She said they hold meetings there all the time though. With pictures, profiles etc, of people, not knowing what they're doing.

Besides the fact, for a myspace who fingers the camera -- you want to be a professional, don't you?

What do i think? I think this is a group of friends, aged 20-24 who have nothing better to do with their parents money, and like to waste other people's time and money.... They get off on it. I also think it may be a way for Josh to find a relationship?

Also, the video on his myspace, of the celebrity "sitings" um no actual celeb talks to the paparazzi. The video was made by someone, aka his team of people, and it's a fake as well.

Don't trust these people...

Btw, they also threatened me with a lawsuit for filing a report against them for fraud with the police.
