I am sharing this because if this guy is this volatile and childish in his personal life, I would assume it translates into his work as well.
I met Allan Martinez at an industry party back in December where the first words he spoke to me were "You're beautiful, is that your boyfriend?"
Like any girl, I was taken aback at his forwardness and put on the defense. Regardless when we finally got to talking about what we were there for, the industry, he gave me his card and I checked out his website where I saw a film he was doing that I found interesting, so I emailed him, along with everyone else I met that night to let them know it was nice meeting him and praise him for the film on his website. He ended up calling me and said that he would like to meet up after the holidays. One thing that he did say that I refer to in the below conversation is "I am not interested in talking to you on a business level" and basically tried to imply that he was only interested in a sexual relationship which really bugged me and is a huge factor in why I chose to not follow up.   Anyway he didn't contact me again until yesterday when he texts me accusing me of not liking him because I never followed up and I make it clear I am only interested in meeting up as friends to which he agrees. He asks if I am free that night and I tell him no because I am taking a class to which he asks me for the details and we decide on Saturday instead. And here is the rest of the conversation. I have edited out the name of the class.

+1-310-866-3049 ??you lost me
Your not in LA? Lol Feb 9, 2012 10:15:15 AM

Me Yes
I am in la. And yougot confused that I am taking a class in la. Which means you thought I didn't live in la. Look one thing I
can't stand is lies. Who did you think I was? Feb 9, 2012 10:16:41 AM

+1-310-866-3049 Huh??? Calm down!

The link you passed doesn't work. (I see THE CLASS on FB but it's in LA.) You got their number instead?" Feb 9, 2012 10:20:13 AM

Me Funny how 2pm is suddenly problematic when you realize I am in la. And I am calm. You clearly have the wrong idea about me. Hope you find the person you actually meant to text Feb 9, 2012 10:21:24 AM

(To which he proceeds to call me while I am in mid text and leaves an angry voicemail where he calls me immature and tells me to call if I am "grown up." His tone is so threatening that I just deleted it midway, although I guess I should have saved it)

+1-310-866-3049 You need some therapy?
You went through some trauma?
Really sorry you have issues being cancelled on.
Your behavior is psycho! Feb 9, 2012 10:28:17 AM

Me Again this is the text you wrote. Please read it " 2pm on sat it is!
The link you passed doesn't work. (I see THE CLASS on FB but it's in LA.) You got their number instead? " then you say that sat no longer works when 10 min prior you said see you sat. also I  realize you seem to have a thing for belittling people and for some reason you think I enjoy that. The reality is that I don't and the volitile one is you and you are projecting onto me. I am not an angry person and I do not hang around people who think I have trauma or
tell me I need therapy or call me a psycho. If you truly think that is how you gain a person's respect you are the one who needs to go into therapy. All you are doing by lashing out at me is making me thank god that I never hung out with you. My friends may not be perfect but they don't go around calling people psycho, and if they did, and I still hung out with them, then id be subjecting myself to abuse, and regardless of the idea you clearly have made up of me, I am not the
type of person that tolerates that. Feb 9, 2012 10:33:41 AM

+1-310-866-3049 You won't call me.
And choose to hide behind texts like a coward.
Call me or delete me.
But stop texting. Thanks Feb 9, 2012 10:35:56 AM

Me I don't call you because idont feel like being yelled at and wrongly accused of stuff. Your voicemail was incredibly angry and abusive and no sane person would call a stranger who is treating them like that. It is clear you just want to argue and I don't need that kind of negativity. I suggest if you are angry at the "immaturity" in the world you set the example. Be the change you want to be. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Afterall you are way too old to
be calling people names. Notice how I don't resort to name calling yet I am at least a decade younger than you. Feb 9, 2012 10:38:49 AM

+1-310-866-3049 But You act like 2 decades younger than me. Lol Speaking of liars. Your first text this time around said:"you didn't know who this was" but you Absolutely did. Why did you lie?? Maybe u should look in the mirror? Feb 9, 2012 10:40:31 AM

Me I didn't and I figured it out right away when I looked in the text history. its impossible that I am acting two decades younger when you are acting like a 13 year old. You want to prove that you are not a liar? How about explaining why sat didn't work anymore when you realized I was in la. Or how about explaining why you texted me " 2pm on sat it is!
The link you passed doesn't work. (I see THE CLASS on FB but it's in LA.) You got their number instead? " Feb 9, 2012 10:41:52 AM

+1-310-866-3049 "A sane person wouldn't call me?" Lol
Yet sending me a million texts when i asked you to stop is more sane??
Wow! Stop! You are psycho! Feb 9, 2012 10:43:24 AM

 Me Wow if you are this volatile in your personal life I can't imagine how you are on set Feb 9, 2012 10:44:12 AM

+1-310-866-3049 I'm calm dear. And busy working.
Your texts are hostile. And you may have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Look into it Feb 9, 2012 10:46:11 AM

Me Saying something doesn't make it true. And if you were busy working you wouldn't have time to talk on the phone. Texting would be more convenient. Look I have been kind enough to answer all your questions yet you refuse to answer mine. Feb 9, 2012 10:47:40 AM

+1-310-866-3049 Stop assuming!
Taking would have been faster than all these texts.
You don't run my life So stop trying to control things and making demands. Ok? It's obnoxious.
Call me if you have the courage... Feb 9, 2012 10:50:19 AM

Me I'm 25 and a technophile. Texting is faster for me and I don't respond well to teasing and threats. I have not made a single demand. You are the one demanding me to call you. Feb 9, 2012 10:51:15 AM

+1-310-866-3049 I requested you call.
Not demanded.
Your view on the world is warped. Feb 9, 2012 10:53:24 AM

 Me And I asked what the story behind the canceling and being confused about my location was. And going as far as saying "call if you dare" is incredibly immature and not something that works on me. Not sure what type of daddy issue girls you are accustomed to Feb 9, 2012 10:54:42 AM

+1-310-866-3049 You didn't answer my call. But You could have.
You want to keep things in conflict.
I don't That's why we don't get along. Bye Feb 9, 2012 10:56:15 AM

Me My reception is horrible even if I had answered it would have cut out in a minute. You'd think someone who claims to remember who I am  would remember thatb Feb 9, 2012 10:57:00 AM

+1-310-866-3049 U got a google number
What is it? Feb 9, 2012 10:57:52 AM

Me Seriously?
From the person who scolded me for not having saved his number. Look
just leave me alone. My curiosity and wanting to find out who you
thought yuou were talking to let this drag on for way too long but its
clear you're not gonna tell me so just give it up. Bye. Feb 9, 2012 10:59:17 AM

+1-310-866-3049 You call that Curiosity?? Lol no way. You love conflict
And drama.
Bye bye Feb 9, 2012 11:03:29 AM

Me Yes wanting an explanation as to why you thought I wasn't taking a class in la is curiosity. Any normal person would be confused by that tex

Actress Tatiana Gomez smearing industry professionals is probably not the best move

#10Consumer Suggestion

Sat, August 01, 2015

Actress Tatiana Gomez smearing industry professionals who can hire her was probably not the best move, but she probably didn’t realize that she would be exposed here either.  So she probably acted more boldly than was needed?

Smearing someone online over a text fight doesnt define who Allan is, but rather who Tatiana is.

I agree with what everyone below posted about her, and she may suffer from some kind of psychological abuse as her own article (below) seems to touch upon?  Tatiana herself admits (down below) there was no ripoff of any kind.  So why are you still reading my words?

I'm sure if she knew she would be dragged down by her own posting, but she probably would have never even put it here in the first place if she realized she would be named.

I don’t know if Allan will do any SEO on this because he doesnt seem to care… but for this actress I think she should do the right thing which is to:

  1. Delete this post.. if she can
  2. or pay for the SEO herself
  3. or just post an apology on this thread for over-reacting to an event from 5 years ago and move on

Number 1 seems like a good move.  Especially when “JuliaR “ down below seems to have more dirt on Tatiana.  I’m surprised he hasn't countered with his own ripoff report on Tatiana actually. 

I’m still not clear why she thought she would be “blacklisted” since she has no acting career to blacklist… plus Allan doesnt even recall who she is in the text messages. So it seems she's a little... cuckoo.

I really don’t care if the comments below are from fake aliases or not, because they actually make logical sense against her claim.  But this whole thing was actualy all started by Tatiana herself, posting under a fake alias, so there’s that.

If there was any flirting on his part? it seems she blew it up beyond recognition because there’s no evidence of that from the texts.  

There's one thing to know about trying to take someone down online, which is they can drag you down with them too!

Allen, posting under fake aliases is not helping

#10Consumer Suggestion

Fri, July 17, 2015

Allen just hire an SEO expert to take this rip off report off google searches. It is blaringly obvious that you keep making rebuttals pretending to be different people. There is no way to delete rip off reports even if you are the original poster, so constantly posting rebuttals is going to do nothing but make sure that this keeps showing up on the very top of google. Get over it. If this really is petty, then this isn't going to hurt your career. If this truly is just a personal matter, then no one is going to care. 

 

What you should have done to begin with was simply change your number and the name of your website. By constantly updating this you are making sure it keeps showing up on search engines. Very dumb. It seems like the orignal poster hasn't even posted on here in over a year.

Tatiana Gomez report - personal not professional

#10Consumer Comment

Mon, June 22, 2015

Tatiana Gomez posting on here, when there was no financial rip off to begin with?  Towards someone she didn't even know?  Is misdirected anger.

Being an attorney (and minor in psychology)... This is weak, hearsay at best, using inductive logic at it’s worse!  If we apply simple deductive logic, we can see right through all of this.

Tatiana’s "story" isn’t adding up.  Meanwhile... although no one is perfect, this site is not for trolling someone you have a personal issue with. This is for legitimate ripoffs… and there was no rip off here.

The evidence- Fact: The text exchange has Gomez is attacking Martinez from the start like some jealous girlfriend.  Meanwhile Martinez barely seems to know who Tatiana is in the exchanges.

I think her hatred stems from something she may have experienced in her past? This link on Tatiana in a 2009 showcase, reveals why she may have over-reacted so strongly as it she really harps on "abuse." A strong narrative that gives us some insight in to her mind.:

"Empowering Women to Stand Up against Physical and Psychological Abuse"

(scroll to very bottom)

http://www.misshollywood.com/2009girls.html

" hope to influence women to stand up for themselves and not allow themselves to be treated like second hand citizens."

 

Never once does Martinez flirt with her, nor is there history with them… Not in a single text!  So Tatiana attack comes out of nowhere... seems she's fighting with some phantom from her past and projecting it on him.

Meanwhile Martinez actually seems normal.  Even when he tells her to go to hell. I might have done so too.

I found this link on him: http://bit.ly/1BFGq28

There were dozens of legitimate testimonials written about him that are mostly from female actresses who praise him for his workshop… with actual links back to their websites too.  It's all verified.  So how can Tatiana's argument even hold water, when there are real people saying the exact opposite about his character?

But I still don’t understand, after all her complaining about how she was “approached”… Why did she give him her number AT ALL?  Why doesn't she doesn’t take responsibility for any actions in her life?  Especially when she preaches "empowerment?"  It seems she's coming from a victim mentality. Like Tatiana is someone who is struggling with her own past and projecting it on others.

And let's be realistic.... if a man asks "who your boyfriend?" it does NOT mean he is hitting on you.  Maybe he was just making conversation. There is no proof of anything here. (and honestly? I was actually HOPING for something juicy here! Only to be terribly disappointed)

I see that Tatiana removed the one link to her acting page (that another responder below shared) 

But I found Tatiana Gomez elsewhere online: PHOTOS, PHOTO, FACEBOOK and IMDB so you can see who is actually making this claim. 

I agree with what everyone below has said about her post… Tatiana seems incredibly petty and immature… and likes to play the victim a little too much… but maybe that's why she’s an actress in the first place? 

I say save all that drama for the big screen. 

Like someone else said below, Tatiana’s tantrum should not be on this site because there was no financial rip-off, and this is definitely NOT a blog.

Go use that misdirected anger to go write a movie or something. And don’t be so risky as to publicly post negative stuff about people who have the power to hire you!  Especially when there was no harm caused.

Tatiana Gomez is a FRAUD and a FAKE

If you want to find out what people really think about this Martinez?

just GO TO THIS LINk

and scroll half way down and you'll find DOZENS of testimonies about him... not only ABOUT him...but how he has affected people's careers...

REAL PEOPLE... with REAL NAMES

(dont jump to conclusions until you do)

Meanwhile Tatiana Gomez is who posted this, and can no longer hide as a unlikable rogue.  

First, this happened in 2011!  so this is old... but you're reading this.... 

I happened to witness the whole conversation...  First, it was a night event... a party... NOT during work hours... like this post might suggest.... Everyone was drinking and flirting... typical Hollywood crap.  Everyone but her.  

She is obviously pretty uptight person and didn't seem very happy that night.  In her paranoia... and her solution to NOT get blacklisted in the film world... was to tell the world about out it here?  3 months after the night of the event?

 

 

I guess when she didn't get any casting opportunities, so she resorted to this?  This paranoid over-reaction won't help anyone in town trust her.... that's for sure.

 

Meanwhile the texts clearly shows that she was attacking him before he even did anything wrong. (Did he do anything wrong? still trying to find proof.) it's just petty hearsay and with the text she fills in the "gaps" with her own explanation..  Can someone say "immature, volitile?" These words all apply to her. (I agree with all the people below how Tatiana is petty)

 

The USC grad, Tatiana Gomez clearly thinks its OK to smear someone online and put their number online...

 

Ok... feel free to call her to discuss how you feel about that with her:

818 442 8080

Here is her LA Casting profile so you know what she looks like:

lacasting.com/tatbobat

 

Tat, next time think before you post things up like this.  TALK TO THE PERSON DIRECTLY FIRST... before you lash out.

You probably didn't realize that the internet leaves a fingerprint on EVERYTHING?   

I have more to share about Tatiana... but only if she rebuts this with something stupid...  

She's not a very nice person.  I think her actions here show it.

woman abuses use of this platform

#10General Comment

Mon, July 28, 2014

 

Dear Editor,

This woman is abusing your platform.  Her response in the last paragraph of her rebuttal clearly states her intentions are personal instead of professional:

"the point of this report was NOT to claim that I was "ripped off"

 

My dear woman,

I hope we can start using this platform for real people looking to solve and resolve real issues? Not using it like Jerry Springer show. Please take your circus somewhere else!  And keep it off our forum.  

You're the one being petty here.  He told you TWICE that he was only interested in dating... In the first moments of meeting... and then again on the phone call. He is clear and consistent througout... and yes HONEST!  

So why are you still delusional as to what the results would be?  Even now?  You obviously had an agenda, or else you would have just tossed his card out.   Think about it for a moment.

So what if he "categorized you" how you don't like ?   I sometimes wish my boss categorized us to be the one "to get promoted next" but I don't go on here and write about it when I don't!  If every actress wrote about this... there would probably be MILLIONS stories true/distorted/petty/false.... all cluttering up this site.  This is not a blog!

And your almost 28 now...  Let it go.

  This girl took a real cheap shot at this guy.  lol

You can post what ever you want about someone on here?  with no verification?  and it's ok? 

 Creepy!

 She gives no name of herself... so there is no accountability?

No way to even verify if anything she said is true?

or if she is a real person... or made up?  

and just posts it like "truth?"

Pretty sleazy to create a strawman.

what a creep this woman is.

#10Author of original report

Sun, July 27, 2014

Really? it is refreshing that someone would say "Because i am attracted to you, you now have zero chance of ever working with me." 

Because that sounds SCARY and I have never been back to any kind of networking event since for fear that I will ruin my chances of ever working in this town again due to people being attracted to me. 

 

I contacted him to tell him i enjoyed the short film he did, not to tell him I wanted to f**k him. I NEVER EVER considered dating him and I told him that, and i do not appreciate being black listed from any project he will ever work on just because my face happened to make his p***s hard. I am not that petty and would never EVER say to a person "hey you,re hot, i want to date you, but because I want to date you, i will NEVER EVER consider you for any projects i am working on. I know nothing about your talent but i have already categorized you as being nothing but a good potential lay." 

 

 

That is incredibly petty. I wasn't looking for a job. But i also wasn't looking to be blacklisted from any project he ever works on again simply because he found me attractive. I didn't have an agenda, but he clearly did (he wanted to get laid) and that agenda made me hesitant to even contact him. 

 

I NEVER hit on him, and I NEVER came on strong. Like I said, i simply emailed him, we chatted (and thats when he told me that he was only interested in dating). And so i  NEVER contacted him again because i don't like people giving me that kind of ultimatum and i don't like it when people belittle me to nothing but a sex object . HE is the one that contacted me via text, weeks after. I undertstand that a lot of people in this town use people, and i wasn't looking to do that. i told him i liked his one short, because i honestly did…i told him i wasn't interested in dating but would be open to hanging out as friends. I wasn't looking for a job. But i also certainly wasn't looking to be blacklisted, which is basically what he did because of his own ego issues and fear of being used. 

 

You're right that there is no romance or flirting. BECAUSE I WAS NEVER INTERESTED IN DATING HIM. He tried flirting with me at the event and i wasn't having it, and finally got down to talking about the industry. Then he tried flirting again the one time he called after i sent him the email,and again ,i wasn't having it. I NEVER led him on or gave him the impression that i was attracted to him. 

 

Anyway the point of this report wasn't to claim that i was "ripped off" but to make people aware of how petty and immature this man is. If he acts this way in his personal life it must translate to his professional life. It's simply a warning to people, not a call for action. iF you have had texts conversations that are worse than this…then you yourself are immature and i can see why you don't understand the harm in this kind of immaturity. I personally don't go around calling people "little girl" or saying "call back if you dare" to people….because I am not 12 years old and my life isn't a teen movie…And i would hope that most adults can relate.

No Ripoff - nothing to resolve here

#10Consumer Suggestion

Thu, July 24, 2014

This girl sounds really stupid.  I probably would have texted something back WAY WORSE to her!  lol

I don't know if this is even real complaint.... or a made up attack... But there is absolutely no problem to "resolve" here.  Just pettiness.

She attacks him... then is told to stop texting him... but she didnt stop... What did she expect?

She used this website to merely gripe. 

But it also seems that her complaint does NOT allow the attacked party to address in any way - per the sites own rules:

  • Admit there's a mistake or oversight, even in cases when it wasn't your fault. 
  • Explain how you plan to rectify the existing problem to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
  • Fix the problem by working with your customer to find an acceptable solution, whether it's a refund, an apology or further assistance.
  • Provide a full or partial refund if necessary (what's more than fair for the customer.)
  • Fix or replace the product.
  • Provide additional service to remedy the problem.
  • Give them more than what they expect.
  • Resolve all complaints within 7 to 14 business days.

There NO logical way to satisfy the complaining party.

There is no product to refund or replace... or rectify.  

No mistake or fault.  

Because it is merely a disagreement.  And a petty one at that. 

She attacks him... then is told to stop texting him...

She was not being professional in texting an owner - so this just feels really personal.  Her first sentence confirms that.

I really dont understand how this is a "rip off" either...  

Perhaps someone internally at ROR will eventually read what she wrote and notice that it just brings down the validity of this quality website?  

There are real problems out there that this site is doing a GREAT job of revealling!  I'm just not sure if this is one of them.

I don't see any rip off here  

** Comment from Ripoff Report about this posted rebuttal. Ripoff Report does not remove Reports for money – what is stated below about Ripoff Report removing Reports for $1,000 is ridiculous and is completely false. No amount of money could get Ripoff Report to remove a Ripoff Report.

#10Consumer Suggestion

Wed, July 16, 2014

This is confusing.... The man hands her a compliment... asks her an every day question... and the problem is... what?   Where is the "ripoff"?

The biggest issue here is... why did she give him her number if she really had a problem with his honest approach to begin with?  Seems she didn't get what she wanted and then lashed out?  Kind of lame.

Despite being offended by his apporach... she then totally contracts him ONCE she discovers he is LEGIT in his field? (that's original) Wrong move on her part.  What was she expecting?  

But the point is, he's totally HONEST with her... and not interested in talking business with her.  He's obviously only interested on a personal level.  Which is actually amazingling straightfoward and refreshing.   I wish guys were this honest with me more often!  But see, that was HER cross road to depart.  And she didnt....  so he obviously felt SHE had an agenda and having a high-powered position is used to this, so he probably just countered back strong just to move on. 

Men have to protect themselves too... I guess?  But the problem is, she bit down hard.

I don't know if there is any truth in what she wrote...  I say that because the text messages below her opening paragraph are pretty much BUSINESS.  There is no romance or flirting going on.  He's just trying to communicate,  while she makes assumptions several times.  She's totally on edge and supsicious.. for no reason.  It's wierd!  

After too much of it, he calls her "psycho" and "warped"... which seems accurate. But I really dont understand why would she post this? it makes HER pretty look bad!  Kind of like how Stiviano's actions on Sterling backfired on her too (what was SHE thinking?)

Anyway, he asks her to stop texting HIM..  but she just refuses to take the hint. Yet she avoids talking on phone? and instead she posts it here?  

Really?

I dunno... I think he's right... she is kind of a self-perpetuating victim.  She doesnt seem to take responsibility for her actions.  

--------

Note for Ripoffreport. - Why is this on here?  There is no rip off.  It's just some actress who probably got mad because she didnt get a part?  I mean, there was no exchange of money for goods or services.  

There is nothing here... except a personal scuff at best.  I have my own text "battles" that look WAY worse than this. But I don't go and post them.

Meanwhile, Ripoff reports legal states that they have "no internal resources to verify if a business claim is false" Yet to remove it you have to pay $1000 of dollars?

If the Ripoff Report's internal team has taken the 2 minutes you need to read this, perhaps you can take 10 seconds to delete this case?

Its not a legitmate claim.

Hope this helps all parties involved!
