Dabla Billmeier Tru Marketing uses lies, promises and even threats, to coerce money from clients. Denver Colorado
At all costs avoid using Tru Marketing. “Diabla” is well-versed in the psychology of manipulation, as well as being a control freak, and will soon have you paying heavily for services that never come to fruition. I should have heeded the warning bells when I saw that she had no business premises, no portfolio of satisfied clients and appeared ignorant regarding basic computer technology. Foolishly, I succumbed to her disarming manner and went ahead on trust alone, which I now regret beyond words.
Having just recently discovered ripoffreport.com, I am not in the least surprised to find that others have been cheated by her in a similar manner. The reference to Diabla's having a drink problem now makes sense to me; on a number of occasions, early-morning meetings were cancelled at the last minute, and it also explains her lateness and lack of organization. Her lying and cheating cannot be excused however, they are simply that; lying and cheating. She even used threats, in an effort to extort further money.
I would strongly discourage anyone from using this cowboy outfit. Please take the time to locate a reputable company that is engaged in true marketing and save yourself money, worry, frustration and anger.
Hopefully, something will come of these reports and some redress will result. At the very least, this should serve as a warning to others.

I would love to hear how the cost for doing the above totalled over $80,000; it is just beyond my comprehension. I remember you trying to coerce me out of $30,000 for pacakaging, which I had told you repeatedly I neither required nor wanted. You finally got me to agree by stating that this would be the final up-front cost. I had already challenged you about the never-ending abritrary sums I had given you, and you refused to say where that money was going.
The next time you asked for money (which was inevitable) I reminded you that you said the last payment was final, to which you replied that it was the final packaging payment. Still you demanded more money. I remember on one occasion you said, "I know you have your caheck book with you. I need money. I have bills to pay." That pathetic, unprofessional behavior was the end. You were desperate for money because you were a cowboy operation and I wanted nothing more to do with you.
The reason you waited so long for documents was that they were never coming; I was having nothing more to do with your sting operation. Of course, you continued with your demand for money, throwing a tantrum on the phone and threatening me with "sexual harrassment" lol. As I said previously, I wish I had done a google search prior to getting involved with your scam. There are plenty instances of people being ripped off by you. As for your delivering "name development", I came up with the name for my product, you moron. And what happened to the money for the packaging? Rest assured, you are going to have to account for it.
Don't flatter yourself

This negative report was written by a client named Joe Zanre. He changed the specifications for the work to be done time and time again. He would fail to deliver materials I needed to do the work even after promising that it would be done, even after numerous requests. He even used his position as a client to make lewd and unwanted sexual suggestions and remarks to me. SEE ATTACHMENT AS PROOF OF HIS BEHAVIOR.
If you are reading this, please try to put yourself in my position. I am a single woman operating a successful business the way I have for the last 25 years. I have excellent reviews on google that show my honest and genuine positive track record. This older male client used our business relationship to try to create an entirely unwanted sexual relationship and, when I rebuffed him, he took out his adolescent anger at not getting his way by hiding behind the anonymity of this website and trashing me and my business by making up lies.
In order for me to do my work, my clients must do their parts by providing the necessary content and components. In those instances in which such materials were provided as agreed, my work was completed AND DELIVERED in a timely manner. In those instances in which such finalized materials were not provided or were not provided in a timely fashion by the client, of course my work was delayed. How could it not be?
This client routinely delayed delivery of such materials, failed to provide them altogether, or made material changes without letting me know so I could reflect those changes in my work. Finally, he and his wife Danita Zanre put the remaining pieces of the project on hold over a year ago. Now he is accusing me of lies, and unethical conduct? SEE ATTACHMENTS AS PROOF OF MY REQUESTS AND THEIR COMMUNICATION.
All that notwithstanding, I still managed to deliver branding concept, branding design, development of the brand, name development, multi-page professional website, logo, professional photo shoot of his product (which he still uses), business card, brochure, label design, wholesale and retail fulfillment opportunities, competition research, hours and hours of strategy consultation, business planning and product marketing development, beginning work on the patent process, online digital fliers, and much more. In addition, I located his patent attorney for him.
If you’re still reading this, I hope you never have to deal with a nightmare client like this, although if you do have such a misfortune, I’m sure I’ll be reading about it here on the RipOff Report.
