Gary Baker - Jem Publishing $297 for no Coaching, Attempted Fraud, Will not respond Ripoff Martinsburg West Virginia

Company
Gary Baker, Jem Publishing
Address:
37 Thayers Gull Dr.
Martinsburg West Virginia 25401
U.S.A.
Phone Number:
304-262-8553
Fax:


I paid $297 for 4 coaching sessions. Before coaching begin, he attempted to sell me one of "his" businesses. See email below.

"After thinking about your situation and the way the
bidding ended so abruptly with out you really having
a chance it got me to thinking...

I purchased a very profitable online biz 6 months
ago for $6995.00.

You can check it out here...

http://www.jempublishing.com/infokit.htm

It's been a great income generator, however in the
past 3 months, I've not had the time to really push
it.

Here's what I'll do you for you Jim:

I'll give you the entire biz, product, website, ads,
domain, (create-simple-info-products.com)and 6
months of my coaching.

I'll let this all go to you for ONLY $2250.00.

This is the best I can do for you.

A quality, pro web business for a fraction of the
cost.

Let me know asap if you want this and I'll set it
up for you.

Wishing You The Best,
Gary"

A search on Google came up with this address:

http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/56948

The same product with Master Resale Rights is being sold for $5.

"When I sent email saying I wasn't interested in that business and wanted a refund for the coaching that never took place,
here was his reply:

First off... Do NOT send me an email with insults
you knucklehead.

I don't know where you get off with this attitude.

Whatever you found is pure J.U.N.K.

My coaching fees are NOT refundable.

Sorry."

Then the subsequent email from me.

"Hello Gary,

This is my third request for a refund of the $297 paid for coaching that did not occur.
I quote you below:

"Whatever you found is pure J.U.N.K.

My coaching fees are NOT refundable.

Sorry."

If it is truly J.U.N.K., then why would you charge me $2,250 for it and more to the point,
why would you say you paid $6,995 for it.

You lost my trust.

Now, I am making a simple reasonable request.

I have just bought the domains http://www.internetmarketerscam.com and http://www.onlinemarketerscam.com

Can you guess who will be featured the first month and then in the archives forever?

...

Hopefully, that won't be necessary and we can settle this amicably.

Looking for your response.

Regards,

John

P.S. Web sites and postings will start 48 hours from now if no response.


So far, no response. Paypal has been no help either so I will
request a chargeback on my credit card.

What do they call a person who takes someone else's money without giving any service or product in return?

John

[b]It's worse - $5,500 for Nothing.[/b]
Same old story. It was delayed and given various reasons. 4 months later won't answer the email any more.
The reason I trusted him because his PayPal account has been running since year 2000 and it's been verified.

Hi david.
How would you like to have a complete web business
built for you and all you've gotta do is sit back,
watch, learn, and make money?

If this is what you're looking for, then you're in
for a SHOCK.

Right now, I'm looking for 2 loyal readers who are
ready to invest in their future.

I'm gonna build you a full Internet business and
run the entire show for.

You'll simply learn, and make profits.

Here's what you'll get:

- A secured professional domain name.

- A professionally written "squeeze page".

- A professionaly designed product and website.

- You'll have a double opt-in list built for you.

- A professional autoresponder.

- Professional webhosting.

- A pro style ezine.

- I'll personally write each ezine for you in your
name.

- I'll choose only hot selling products for your
list so you can make some profits.

- You'll have full email and phone access to me for
as long as it takes to make your new business a
success.

As you can see this is the REAL DEAL!

You're getting a full, 100% Internet business built
from scratch for you PLUS you don't have to do any
of the ground work at all.

You'll simply watch, learn and make profits.

Then once the business is built, and our time is
up, you're business will be handed over to you and
you'll have a profit producing web business for as
long as you want.

IMPORTANT...

You'll HAVE to invest in this business. I cannot
do this for "part of the profits" or any of that
crap.

The investment into this package is for expenses
that'll be incurred as well as my fee for setting
this up and running it for you.

Here's the costs(There's 1 spot open for each!)

- 6 Month Package cost: $5500.00

- 12 Month Package cost: $10,500.00

(I can arrange 2-3 payments if needed.)

Again, there's only 1 spot available for each of
these pakages.

To be considered for any one of the above, you
need to send me an email and let me know WHY I
should pick you and go to work for you PLUS the
package you would like to be considered for.

Email me here:
mailto:questions@jempublishing.com?subject=Pick-Me-Gary

I only want to hear from you IF you're 100% serious
about investing into this business and your future.

Wishing You The Best,
Gary Baker
mailto:questions@jempublishing.com?subject=Pick-Me-Gary

your email address because you (or someone purporting to be
you) asked to be added to this mailing list.

Hey David.
Congrats! I'm happy for you.

Here's the answers to your questions...

1. What's included in the fees ? Do you expect us to spend more money,
say advertising & marketing before we start making money for our web site/s ?

The price included ALL expenses. No more need.

2. How long it's going to take you to choose a product, built a web site/squeeze
page and bring some traffic in start making sales.

Normally I get right to it. It takes about 5-7 days for me to everything
rolling.

3. How do we get involve in the program ? Are you regularly updating to us
by emails about the progress of the program ?

I update you by email every time there's something new going
on.

4. What are the differences between 3 months/ 6 months/12 months programs ?
It wouldn't take 3 months to choose product/build web site squeeze page/auto
response letters and marketing, and what would you be doing for the rest of
the time ? after the the first one is built and earning money, would you be
teaching us to duplicate the efforts to build another one ? If so, how are you
going to teach use - email, telephone/telecast etc ?

The difference is the time frame. Basically the more time I have to
make your business successful the better. Again, 12 months is the
BEST but 6 months is a great start. All expenses are included.

It will only take me about 10 days or so to get everything up and
running for you. After our time together is up, the business is yours.

OR, you can continue with me for more coaching. It's completely
up to you.

I hope this helps and I look forward to helping you succeed.

If you need anything else, please let me know.

Wishing You The Best,
Gary

Hi David.

Gary here.
Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten about
you.
I'm delaying my projects until next Monday due to
having a Grandmother with Alzheimers and moving
her into a home.

I will get back to work on Monday of next week.

My sincere apologies.
Gary

August 22, 2007
Hi David.

My truest and sincere apologies my friend for not
getting back you.

We had a complete mess with my Grandmothers'
will. The family just wanted to fight over money.

I've left it to them to sort out. I'm back 100% and
am committed to making your business a success.

I've got a few ideas that I will be sending to you on
Wednesday.

Again Doug, I really do apologize. This whole family
thing through a wrench into my life unexpectedly
but PLEASE be assured that "I'm Back Baby"...LOL

Wishing You The Best,
Gary

How did you pay for his course? with credit card or paypal? if you used your credit card dispute the charge and tell your credit card company he never delivered the service and has defrauded you. If paypal well you can kiss the money good bye as paypal will only back product that is purchased and is not digital or service in nature.

Gary Baker ripped me off for $11,200 for a "So called" business he sold me.

He supposedly sold me his co-registration business for $11,200 back in February 2006.

Only thing was he didn't tell me that I still had to buy all the lists through him - not only that but he simply didn't provide any support for changing over the new business and he flat out deceived me with his marketing and to top it all of he simply started selling the same leads again himself - in direct competition with me!

here are a couple of quote directly from his emails :

First he said no advertising costs at all:

Quote:
I had NO profit loss.
I earned around $4500-$7500 per month.
I put in about 3 hours per day.

And I did NOT spend a penny on advertising.


After I bought the business he said:
Quote:
Hi Mark.

I haven't forgotten about you my friend :-)

Send me the url that you'd like me to have redirected.

As for getting some traffic to the site, I suggest you
write and submit a few articles as well as use
http://www.miva.com

Wishing You The Best,
Gary


Then he suddenly told me I still had to buy the leads of him:

Quote:
By the way, I'll be able to get you a nice discount on
the leads.

They will all be 30 days old. They'll probably only cost
you around $29 per 5000 :-)

Also, if you have to, you actually squeeze each list
and resell them 3times. I wouldn't go any further than
that though.


Then I discovered that he kept running the business himself on a different url http://www.jempublishing.com when I raised it with him this is what he said:

Quote:
Mark.

What I'm offering is in NO competition with you at
all.

You need to get out there and start building a BIG list,
making offers, participating in JV's, submitting articles,
etc...


After a few months he simply stopped answering my emails which means I could get a supply of leads - My business died.

There's heaps more to the story but that's the basic outline.

I paid him $11,200 (I have the paypal transactions to prove it) and he simply stopped supplying me so my business would die!

That's the kind of guy Gary Baker is. Beware.

Mark

Gary Baker came into my life two days ago, how he got my email address, I do not know but, twice in one day, he offered to set up a site - very similar in content to what I have read here from others - for $4000-odd.
I replied with a thank you and the notice that I did not need his help.

He replied that he makes $10,000 a month and I do not. Yes, he said that, too. I replied that what he makes does not interest me and I was deleting his email. He replied that I should have been aborted at birth and called me a c.. He was equally abusive this morning. I am reporting him to Google since he has a gmail address and I am going to report him to the local newspapers in his town. By the way, does this equate with cyber bullying?

I can attest to what others have posted here. My upfront total investment with Gary is a whopping US$3,244 (August, 2009). He didn't preform anywhere near what was initially promised (Web Biz Program) and now totally ignores emails and refund requests.

As eznetbiz advised (thanks David), I'll be taking this matter to the: Office Of the West Virginia Attorney General,
Consumer Protection Division. In addition, I'll be seeking a Lawyer who works on a contingency fee basis where Gary resides: Martinsburg, WV. 25405.

Should you wish further info as to my experience, feel free to email me through the email link below this post. Thanks...

Thanks for your post, toyoman.

I have launched complaints with both the Attorney General's Office of West Virginia and the Internet Crime Complaint Center (in collaboration with the FBI). Both complaints are currently pending, so don't currently know what the eventual outcome will be. The intention is to nail this guy!

Thanks...

You really want to keep an eye on this guy. I have been a member of his list and have noticed that every few weeks or so he sends out an email that states that he is so busy that he has to sell off one of his money making businesses and offers to auction it off to a "lucky" winner. he states that this business makes great money each month but he is just too busy to attend to it....and it can be yours for $$$$.

The last "valuable" business that he sold lead to something called Lazy List Income. You can see the page here http://lazylistincome.com. He sold this business for over $2,500.00. I got curious and did a search for lazy list income and was lead to Flippa where the EXACT same product was being sold with a different domain name for a buy now of less than $100.00.

My advice when dealing with this guy is to remember that nothing is a good deal. If you think you got a good deal you should count your money, fingers, toes, and then your relatives.

Somehow got on his list -- I don't ever remember signing up, but if I did, it was a big mistake. When I sent him an email requesting that he take me off his list-- he is violating SPAM rules by not having an unsubscribe link on any of his multiple daily annoying emails -- he responded very rudely, told me I'd signed up, he was glad to be rid of me, I was a whiner, etc. You will get multiple uninteresting email messages every day from him, all promising huge amounts of money and cluttering your inbox. Scammer with a capital S, and I'm glad I didn't send him any money.
