Joe Johnson is the best scam artist i have ever met. His current company, Aegis Legal Center, has gone through a revolving door full of new names in order to distance himself from a litany of illegal actions. A few examples of these are major Federal Trade Commission violations, sexual impropriety in the work place, assault on employees, accepting payments from both other and companies and customers for services he has no capability to render. 

If you are unlucky enough to get a call from Aegis they most likely try and get you to sign up for their lawyer referral service, unless they have an outstanding order to send customers over to debt settlement companies, in which case you are going to hear about how debt settlement is the best thing ever. Then, after about a month you will get another call from Aegis explaining how debt settlement is really a terrible option and how much money you can save by using their lawyer referral service. So to recap: the customer just got screwed out of some money by wasting time in a debt settlement, and the Debt Settlement company that paid Aegis to send them leads just got screwed out of the very lead they had paid for.

When most people give out their personal information to companies like this they expect that this information is kept private. Unfortunately, Aegis is not really concerned with what the customer wants so long as they get paid. Most of their employees are unlicensed, but still have access to information including customers credit reports and social security numbers. If that information wasn't scary enough, there is nothing preventing employees from simply walking out the door with hundreds of customers' private info (this is not speculation, this has happened).

BEWARE: If you enter into any sort of contractual agreement with Joe Johnson or any business he is involved with you will get screwed. period.

This message is for anyone whom has taken the privilege of following and reading into the various reports first written above.  My name is Ray J. Price Jr.  For clarification, I am writing this response solely on behalf of myself and no one else.  First and foremost, the entire report entitled, "Lies & False Reporting," was not written by Mr. Joseph Johnson himself.  I've taken the time to speak with him regarding this report, on several occassions, over a period of the past few weeks and he has assured me that he had nothing to do with it.  From my understanding, the report was written by either a current employee or someone along those lines.  In the event that anyone would like clarification regarding anything that this outrageous & slanderous report entails, feel free to contact me on my direct at (410) 499-3769.  I would be more than glad to further elaborate.  I've personally been part of the lead generation industry for more than ten years now.  Throughout the years, I have earned the respect and business of many of reputal companies and organizations in all verticles of lead generation.  I am considered by many as the hardest working man in this industry.  My good name and reputation speaks for itself.  For all of you whom have been ripped off by various lead vendors in the past, do your due diligence.  Good sound references are of great assistance in making an educated decision when purchasing your leads.

Thanks & Regards

Lies and false reporting

#6REBUTTAL Owner of company

Thu, August 18, 2011


This entire report was written by an employee who was fired for stealing.  The company was a brand new company named Debt Busters, LLC.  We had new IC's working when 4 individuals planned, plotted, and carried out stealing of 35,000 leads to open their own company while harming ours.

The 4 contractors were Ray Price Jr (co-owner of Debt Busters, LLC), Dan Pipp, Mike Stellhorn, and Taylor Lindstrom.  The email address used for this bogus and slanderous rant was NOT written by Taylor per our conversation 10 minutes ago.  His email was used by one of the other 3 shady thieves.

I have contacted the police, and obtained a police report.  Many of the ex-contractors stayed behind to steal other contractors we had already trained, as well as more leads.  We were conned in the worst way possible, as we are an honest company whom was deceived.  All of our team members are solid, loyal and licensed!  This piece of slander better be re-canted or a major lawsuit will take place.

I have worked with many wonderful clients and friends since we had the old company at the old office which understand the entire story.  I will be happy to show my papertrail of anything needed by anyone who believes lies from fired contractors who STOLE from me!  Debt Busters, LLC lasted 1 month as it was created to steal our business model of the best quality leads in the industry.

As far as Aegis Legal Center is concerned, we have done nothing but help that wonderful company help clients which have certain situation that need immediate attention.  They physically use a great attorney to work with any client with a case with violations against their creditors.  That is again, huge slander and outrageous accusations!  I will continue to press charges, and pursue these guilty thieves to the fullest extent of the law.  What type of angry ex employee would be simple enough to use someone else's email address, and paste nasty information about someone who actually does what he says.

I have sworn letters from ex contractors, and current ones which know this is all lies.  I used a bad lead source who had me fooled.  It cost me more money to make up for the lack of production from my ex partner and the planned theft.  I also have many clients who will testify to these wild accusations/slander.  Trust that I am here, working hard day in and out.  I also am doing things through a brand new office with the best technology so all clients are taken care of.  That is why we get into this business!  To help customers, make money, and have a trust between the workplace.  I'm dumb enough to trust people too much, but I am here to build lasting relationships.  Short term ever works.  Please look up arrest records on the 4 people I mentioned.  3 have felony theft already, and the other has a record out of state.  ALL 3 ARE IN REHAB!

I'll believe the recanting of this report when I see the recant that states it's an UPDATE BY THE AUTHOR and not a consumer in a different city.    

Nice try shill, but untill we see "update by author" no one is going to believe it.
