Go Fish Marketplace Joseph Baliva SCAM SCAM SCAM MULTI LEVEL MARKETING SCHEME WHO RIPS OFF INVESTORS Joseph Baliva is a cunning and crafty con artist. My mother lost her entire savings investing in this multi level marketing scheme. San Francisco California
I initially met Joseph Baliva from a crowd funding site which I won't mention because they to were victimized by Joseph Baliva. He conned me into signing up for his service. At first, this business idea seemed genius and above board. As I further worked with Joseph, I became more and more comfortable with Go Fish Marketplace.
I was so excited about this opportunity, that I made the drastic mistake of introducing Joseph Baliva to my mother. My mother made a six figure investment. Almost her entire savings. She is elderly.
As I worked more and more with Joseph Baliva, I started to see serious flaws. The virtual sales reps I worked with barely spoke English. They were located in the Philipines. He told me he was getting better ones from India but that never happened. Joseph began to pressure me to speak to all of my relatives and friends and sell them worthless products. I soon realized it was a multi level marketing scheme and Joseph was in cahoots with all of the product owners. He gets a peiece of all the action.
After selling severla pieces of clothing to my aunts and cousins, Joseph Baliva refused to pay me my full commission. It was horrible. I then asked him to return my mother's savings. He refused.
Joseph Baliva of Go Fish Marketplace is a criminal of the worst kind. San Francisco PD are investigating him now for multiple counts of elder abuse not just to my mother but 6 other elders in Northern California alone. Each week, more and more people are coming forward about being victimized.
I write this report so Joseph Baliva never victimizes another elder again.

I Was The Victim of A Con Man That Wrote A Completely Fabricated Ripoff Report

THIS IS A FALSE RIPOFF REPORT MADE BY A CON ARTIST TO HURT ME. IF THIS CON ARTISTS STATEMENTS ARE TRUE I CHALLENGE HIM TO PROVIDE “ANY” FORM OF PROOF “AT ALL !!”
I am very saddened that this happened to me, but this posting is a complete fabrication from a con artist named Brian David Suder whom used an assumed name (Byron Sanders) to write this completely fabricated ripoff report just to try to hurt me and damage my strong reputation after I ignored his emails. I will be working with my lawyers at Goodwin & Proctor to get a subpoena for Ripoffreport.com to release to us the real name and contact information of the person whom wrote this report, and we will have to sue him.
I am upset that I have to defend myself from such an offensive falsified report, but I will bring forth what information and proof that I have to counter this filthy con man’s act of bearing false witness against me.
A con man named Brian David Suder emailed me and tried to con me into believing that he had investors that were ready to “immediately invest $500k to $5 Million dollars” into my company (I have posted the actual email communications below). When I looked up his company name (Greystone Finance) I found multiple Ripoff reports about him and his company, and I replied to his email telling him that “I could not do business with him because I seen that he had multiple ripoff reports about him”:

The next thing that I know, after he emailed me again twice was a third email that said “Now that you have established Ripoff Report is a scam site, what time would be free to discuss investment opportunities going forward.”
That was when I seen another email from someone telling me that there was a ripoff report about “me” and they offered to help me push it down in the search engine results if I paid them a fee.
Here is the proof to the obvious false statements made by the con artist in the fabricated ripoff report:
I am upset that I have to do this, but I feel that I should.
1. First, he stated “ My mother made a six figure investment. Almost her entire savings.”…but the SEC and StartEngine, which I have used to raise only “$1,900” so far (as of today, 9-23-17), does not allow non-accredited investors to invest any more than a certain low amount, purposely. Here is the actual SEC rule: “If you make less than $100,000 per year or your net worth is below that amount, you can invest up to either the greater of $2,000 orthe lesser of 5% of your income or net worth.” This fake character that the con artist made up could not have possibly invested anything even “near” six figures, therefore what the con artist is claiming there is virtually impossible due to SEC rules.
2. He claimed “ The virtual sales reps I worked with barely spoke English. They were located in the Philipines.” (He spelled Philippines wrong). And he also stated “He told me he was getting better ones from India but that never happened.” But my company is barely in Beta phase as of today (9-23-17), and all of the “independent” (non hired) sales reps that signed up (for free) are all English speaking people that live right here in the US. We do not have a business model where we “hire” sales reps; I created a system that allows independent sales reps to sign up for free, and get a free website to sell products in exchange for 35% to 40% commission by sourcing clients on their own. You can view our website to verify “that” fact.
3. He claimed “After selling severla pieces of clothing to my aunts and cousins, [my name was here] refused to pay me my full commission. It was horrible.” My response to that is first, we do not even have any clothing “listed” in the entire marketplace and as of today (9-23-17) there was only one item actually sold “ever” in the entire marketplace, which was a bottle of shampoo that I purchased “myself” just to test the FedEx label printing functionality that we put into the site; we haven’t even started advertising for customers yet. And with regard to the con artists claim about him “selling clothing to his aunts and cousins,” I purposely did not allow merchants to “list” any clothing thus far because I was worried that customers might buy clothes that don’t fit them and then create a hassle to return the clothes to the merchants. We are planning to add clothing in the future, but as of yet (today, 9-23-17) there are none now - and have been “zero” clothing items listed in the entire marketplace since inception. This con man didn’t do his homework.
4. This one upsets me the most, but I will not let this filthy con artist get to me. He claims “San Francisco PD are investigating him now for multiple counts of elder abuse not just to my mother but 6 other elders in Northern California alone. But if that offensively fake statement were true then how could he even have that information? Unless he worked in the police department…I don’t think so.
I am very saddened by this because I have dedicated my entire life to helping low income people. You can read on my linked in page about how my technology from my first company currently helps 165,000 welfare recipients right here in the San Francisco Bay Area; or if you are near the Oakland area you can walk right into any of the Alameda County Social Services locations and see a number of my kiosks there in all 6 of their locations across Alameda county:

The thought that I would even “think” about doing the things that the con artist came up with absolutely turns my stomach. I actually have “helped” elderly women before, like the elderly widow in Fresno, Ca which was in fear of losing her home because she could not pay her property taxes, living only on social security income and paying her rent via a reverse mortgage. I helped her by starting a facebook page and a donation page for her, and then I was able to get a very nice reporter from the Fresno Bee to write an article about her. Once the article was published people donated over $4,000 to her and she had more than enough money to pay her taxes and stay in her home. Here is the proof, it is a Fresno Bee article that mentions me and states in the article everything that I just wrote:
fresnobee.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/carmen-george/article38831280.html
Aside from that I have even helped one homeless man (named David Davis Crawford) get off the streets and into his own apartment by repeatedly pestering the San Francisco Homeless Outreach Team (Hot Team) to get him into the “Housing First Program.” And I did. He now lives in his own apartment, is showering every day comfortably, applying to jobs, and he is on track to getting his life together.
I have also helped countless people heal and overcome countless health ailments via my free one-on-one health and nutrition advice. Here is my free health and nutrition blog:
https://exceedinghealth.wordpress.com/about/
I have helped people that previously attempted suicide to break free of their depression and get on a solid track to recovery so that they never have to face depression ever again. I have helped people become free of health ailments such as depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, but I have also helped some people overcome even more difficult illnesses after their doctor told them that they could not help them, such as a friend that I helped eliminate psoriasis, and even a girl whom I helped to become cured from Lyme Disease and Chronic Active Epstein Barr Virus (a fatal illness with a 90% mortality rate.) I developed an immunomodulating treatment pathway using powerful herbs, vitamins, and a food avoidance plan that inhibited the expression of her Interleukin-4 Cytokines which lowered her inflammation and subsequently increased the expression of her Th1 helper cells and the biosynthesis of her Cytotoxic T-Cells. At the same time we lowered her T-Suppressor cells so that her immune system would stop ignoring her Epstein Barr virally infected Immune System B-Cells and attack them instead.
Now here is the actual email communications from the con man that wrote this offensive false report:

Brian,
I found several Ripoff reports that named you and your company.
I would love to have a phone call with you but only after I have found you to be genuine.
Please invest a small $1,000 investment into my equity campaign here first, then we can have a call.
If you are willing to invest $5M then $1,000 should be peanuts to you
