Jeff Campbell and I met about 1 month ago when he walked in to my office potentially looking to see about some radio advertisement.  I sat with Jeff for an hour or so in the conference as he told me his story in regards to the last few years and how he'd been putting Motor Cycle Runs together.  Equipped only with his trapper keeper full of contacts and flyers and other media related materials and literature, he explained how it all came to be and what he had to do to accomplish all of this.  He then went on to explain to me that he had a new idea.  That he would like to throw a "BIKER PARTY".  He explained all of the ideas he had for the party.  Everything from entertainment to contests to prizes to tattoo shows and sponsors, everything.  After listening to Jeff speak for a while, I was very impressed and intrigued.  I thought it was a great idea.  I thought it was fun and exciting. 

So much so that I started to throw some ideas at him and then asked him about his website.  Jeff informed me that he had no website nor did he have any sort of Media Counsel.  As it turns out, I also have a media counseling company with my partner and we offer an array of services from website creation/modification, e-commerce, craigslist design, graphic design, facebook/twitter...  Basically what I came to realize is that Jeff wasn't exactly privy to using any of the services and how valuable and helpful they can be in an endeavor like this - so I explained.  Basically I showed Jeff how to reach people he would never have been able to - I talked with him about some awesome ideas about branding his name, his face, reaching out to people on twitter to document his travels as he gains sponsors and new talents - how its necessary to take pictures so people can see where you are, where youre going and where you've been -

basically become a bit of a celebrity so these people want to be a part of this event - that everything he does in relation to PARTY WITH THE JERSEY DEVIL needs to be documented in one way or another - before me, Jeff didn't even know FACEBOOK and TWITTER were even a possibility.  After hearing my ideas Jeff expressed that he would be interested in hearing some more of them.  He told me he would be in touch within a week... he CALLED ME the NEXT DAY wanting to employ my partner and myself to assist him with the promotion, website and media development for PARTY WITH THE JERSEY DEVIL.  I accepted and got right to work.  The first meeting we held with all of us to talk about the project (myself, Jeff and my partner) was at Starbuck about a month ago.  Jeff did most of the talking as he explained what he was looking for and even more so about "TRUST", "CIRCLES OF TRUST", and how he "never F**ked anyone over in his life..."  

With the end of the meeting, my partner and myself were very to excited to be part of such an event.  We were happy to work on it, we had so many ideas and began to work on them almost immediately -

Fast forward to the case at hand -    basically what we have here is someone who fed us lies and stole all of our ideas and passed them off to a "friend" with a company similar to ours to make a website more or less exactly the same as ours including STOLEN GRAPHICS - LOGOS - IMAGES - CONTENT - even down the format the site is practically identical... you can compare the two for yourself!  our site is www.partywiththejerseydevil.com AND THEIRS IS partywiththejerseydevil.net   take a look for yourselves you will see.     With that being said Jeff claims that this all came about when he was cleaning out his garage he came across a business card of a friend of 10 years that did a few websites for him in the past for other ATTEMPTS at parties like this - see JEFF tried this a few years back and it was shut down by the town - my point is that Jeff called his friend and realized he was willing to do the website for FREE... thats very nice of him - the problem with that is that my partner and I have at this point already spent 3 weeks creating a 10 page website complete with an online store, t-shirt sales, picture display, a forum, original air brush of jeff's face, original slogan, original graphics, 2 facebook accounts which were updated, and 1 twitter account which was updated regularly up till now. 

As you can see we put a lot of time and effort into creating an entire media network for Jeff and PARTY WITH THE JERSEY DEVIL.  In the last few weeks I have made several attempts to talk to Jeff about when we could expect payment and he would tell me "ill stop by at 3pm" then obviously never show up... then it would be "oh ill come by in 2 or 3 days".. the whole thing wasn't adding up because NOTHING JEFF EVER PROMISED HAPPENED - so i did my homework and was able to locate the company that he was giving our information too... I spoke with the owner who let me in on the story about how Jeff was playing both sides of the fence.  When he would speak to Jeff he said Jeff would use "colorful" language when speaking about us and that he was planning on having our site SHUT DOWN after this new one was completed...  after hearing about this and even during all of this I gave Jeff MULTIPLE opportunities to part way civilly.  I would ask Jeff if he was interested in working with his friend and if he would like to part ways with us - and if he wished to do so that would be fine and all we would want is payment in full... 

In addition Jeff denied denied denied and said "what's wrong with having two websites"  and I explained that there is NOTHING wrong with having two websites except when one of the websites is NOTHING BUT STOLEN CONTENT AND PIRATED MATERIAL BY ANOTHER COMPANY- then there's an issue.  Either way, JEFF CAMPBELL WAS GIVEN UMP-TINE CHANCES TO PAY HIS THE BILL FOR THE SERVICE HE ASKED FOR - THATS ALL HE HAD TO DO - However Jeff layered lie over lie -  JEFF claims he had no idea his friend of 10 years was creating a website and that he didn't "have time" to look at it.  Jeff claims that he only talked to his friend after having an issue with us about the website being under OUR GODADDY account when THE PIRATED website was created on SEPT 7 and that conversation didnt take place until SEPT 14. 

IT IS CLEAR AS DAY THAT WE AS A COMPANY ARE SUBJECT TO A MAN STEALING IDEAS, MEDIA MATERIAL, CONTENT AND HARDWORK from 2 26 year old young men trying to build a business on hard work and merit ONCE HE REALIZED HE COULD HAVE HAD IT DONE FOR FREE...  We did everything that was asked of us, from initial construction of the website - to additions and regular updates.  We even contributed a ton of our own ideas which Jeff used.  All of what we did was in good faith that Jeff would make good and pay us for our work and when the time came to collect JEFF CAMPBELL OF SOMERS POINT NJ was just like any other dishonest person who was full of nothing but empty promises and stories and all the while was defaming our name as a company for no good reason.. 

As I said I even had an opportunity to speak with the owner of the other company who was finally able to shed some light on this whole ordeal.  All we ever wanted was to be compensated for our services and till this moment have not be able to do so.  I even called Jeff TWICE TODAY and his WIFE ANSWERED AND CURSED ME OUT AND ASKED  "ARE YOU F---KING STUPID??? DIDNT JEFF SAY HED CALL YOU WHEN HE HAD SOME MONEY FOR YOU???" then proceeded to say she was going to go to the police station to file a harassment suit against me for calling two times to day to see if we could make a final arrangement to pay for our services... guess not! To Mr and Mrs Campbell AND PARTY WITH THE JERSEY DEVIL - im very sorry things ended this way - our intentions WERE ALWAYS GOOD and we only strived to assist in making this even great - im sorry your intentions werent.  I wish you the best and hope noone else does a service for your guys and doesn't get paid for their hardwork.  WATCH OUT GUYS!!!  Make sure you collect payment up front!
