Response to erroneous report regarding Geophia LLC

#2REBUTTAL Owner of company

Mon, December 17, 2018

 

In response to an erroneous report, we at Geophia LLC would like to clarify where we are today.  We don't know who this writer is--JD from Brooklyn, NY.  We have no such investor, lender, customer or associate. Rip Off does allow people to make anonymous and or false reports.  We suspect that this is a serious attempt to discredit our company.  We, at Geophia, take these charges very seriously.  No company nor responsible corporate leader would ever jeopardize its reputation, including that of his/her families and company.  

Geophia, LLC, has a patented process on a new proprietary breakthrough technology using all natural fibers extracted from the stalks that bananas grow on. According to an independent study done by scientists at The Georgia Institute of Technology, these fibers absorb 10-25 times their weight in oil...all kinds of oil, crude oil, diesel, jet fuel, gasoline and cooking oil. It can be used for small oil spills such as occur in gas stations, car dealerships and repair shops. It provides an alternative to the polypropylene absorbents on spills of all sizes. Our remarkable product can replace much of the polypropylene absorbents which never decompose. Naturally occurring microbes, with a taste for oil are mixed with the fibers, consuming the oil, resulting in the fibers biodegrading. 

Geophia LLC has also developed a product which is utilized in the production of a biodegradable plastic, which could help alleviate the disposal problems of regular plastic. Another innovative product line includes a biodegradable cat litter which has been tested with great results and is set to be released in the marketplace in 2019.   These constitute huge markets. Geophia plans to tap into these and profit from them with its green, sustainable, environmentally friendly, biodegradable products. The oil spill clean-up market is $11 billion and the pet waste market is over $2 billion a year in the US alone. The markets are hungry for these important advances.

 Geophia LLC has a strong joint venture partner which is a global giant in the agriculture and food industry which will be a major supplier of the raw material.   We use a proven technology and have real products, with active US active issued patents which have been filed internationally.  Nothing is “fake” as this article asserts.

The Ripoff Report claims that the investors were never informed how the investment failed.  First of all, the investment has not failed nor has the company folded. As all companies in the initial stages, funding was needed in order to file patents and testing. We are now in the final stages of funding to build the first plant.  Distributors and customers have been established and contacted who are eager to have these products in 2019.  

Geophia LLC has sent all investors yearly letters detailing the company's progress, along with a certified CPA prepared K-1 return for tax filing purposes. The regular financial reports of the company are available for inspection by any current investor. The contact information for our CPA is always provided. The company is current with its filings with the Georgia Secretary of State's office which had no issues with the company. A surprise examination by a state regulatory agency, which we believe was initiated by this Rip-Off report, looked over years of records and documentation on the company and found nothing that warranted further investigation. Moreover, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) has examined the company and has no complaints against the company.  It gave Geophia LLC its highest rating possible...an A+. There are no court cases or claims or lawsuits, liens or judgments against Geophia LLC.

No one is hiding nor not answering correspondence. We have an open policy to speak directly to our investors and have had individual meetings with investors when requested. All contractual agreements have been overseen by our legal firm including all investment documents.

This Ripoff Report against Geophia LLC is totally false. The company is in careful compliance with all, IRS, SEC, state and federal regulations and we continue to engage with our attorneys and CPAs to keep it that way. This experience has been very embarrassing and time consuming. We apologize to our families and investors that they have had to be subject to such false statements.
