Complaint Review: Jolene R. Burke (joluvsdogs)

Jolene R. Burke from Tennessee has several online aliases: Jolene R. Burke, Jolene Reed Burke, Jolena Reed, Jolene Reed Meeks, Jolene Riggs Burke, Holly Williams and Kelly Huff of Creative Design Outlet which I believe is the latest one. I employed Jolene R. Burke back in 2007 to run my business, My PSP Tubes, disclosed all my trade secrets to her and then she ended up running off and opening her own site, PSP Tubes Emporium. She stole my entire business plan, conned all of the artists that I signed up to leave my company and sign up with her, copied my site design and even signed up with the same credit card processing company that I used.

After committing this heinous act of betrayal I exposed her slimy reptilian deeds online and she changed her name once again, posted a public statement that she was closing her PSP Tubes Emporium site down and then changed her name and re-opened the site under another name. Creative Design Outlet is obviously owned by Jolene R. Burke because once again she is using exactly the same website template, has licensed the same artists, is using the same credit card processing company and has the same style of graphic design. Anybody whose brain is in perfect working condition can see that this is the same person. Jolene R. Burke has a past reputation as being an art thief in the PSP tubes world which is ironic considering she runs a PSP tubes business now. I wonder if her licensed artists know that she used to steal artist’s work in the past?

**************************************************

WARNING: Jolene R. Burke is a drug addict and this is one of the reasons why her head is so messed up. She used to be addicted to phentermine and probably still is which explains her multiple personality disorder. It is also the reason why she is capable of working such long hours and can do a hundred things at once. Jolene’s speeding off her nut and her nicotine addiction only adds to the speeding effect. Way to go Jo! For those people who don’t know, phentermine is essentially “prescription speed” and only complete idiots take this drug to lose weight. Obviously it didn’t work because she’s still fat. Kinda reminds me of the woman from Requiem for a Dream.

View Jolene R. Burke’s post on the phentermine.com forum.

Unfortunately, there are some artists like Keith Garvey  who don’t seem to mind having drug addicted thieves managing their work. This was confirmed by Keith himself and posted by “BarbV” on the animationlessons.proboards.com forum. Jolene R. Burke is managing Keith Garvey’s work on a separate PSP tubes website which “surprisingly” uses the same webite template that she knocked off from me.

**************************************************

After Jolene R. Burke left MY PSP Tubes I emailed her on April 9^th, 2011 and demanded that she either return the company computer that I paid for or reimburse me a total of $684.54. I received no response so decided to go full force with the online Jolene R. Burke exposé. I posted photos of where she claimed she was running her shady business from and also photos of where she actually was running the business from - one was an expensive office building in Memphis, Tennessee and the other was her actual home that resembled a trailer without wheels which was 2 hours and 6 minutes away in Huntingdon, Tennessee. I then also posted a public letter to Jolene on August 19^th, 2011 since she didn’t respond to my first one and asked her to return my company equipment again:

Dear Jo,

You've ignored our requests to return our company computer and external hard drive so you've left us with no other choice but to expose you for who you really are. You've been nothing but dishonest with us and your actions have disappointed us greatly. We've sent you bonuses, mailed your pay checks early, and kept you employed all these years even after we caught you lying several times. What other employer would do that? We don't know of any. None of this would have happened if you just returned the company computer and external hard drive when we asked you to. Was lying and avoiding responding to our emails worth all this? You now have to deal with facing the reality that you have created. Yes, you Jolene. You.

We can just imagine all the BS that must be flying out of your mouth at this present moment. We know that you're in panic mode right now and are doing everything in your power to save yourself including lying to the entire PSP community. Go on, get all your little cronies to post garbage about us all over the internet. It doesn't worry us because it's not true. Go ahead and email all your artists and brainwash them with your filthy lies. We don't care because no matter how hard you try to squirm your way out of this, the truth will always reveal itself in the end and you're the one who's going to end up looking like an a*s.

Do you want all of this to end? Yes? Then let's make a deal. You make an announcement and admit to the entire PSP community and all your artists that you are a thief and that what we are saying is true (remember, we have proof) and we'll take down the site. You also mail back our computer and hard drive, undamaged and dust-free. If you sold the computer because you couldn't afford to pay your bills then you will need to send us a check and reimburse us the full amount. We'll post the receipt for the hard drive on the site once TigerDirect.com emails us a copy of that. Sound fair? We think that's more than fair considering we saved your a*s by not suing you for interfering in our business and breaching our confidentiality agreement.

How ashamed are you of your thieving PSP past? That ashamed that you would do anything you can to try and hide it including lying to everybody? Go ahead and make that announcement Jo. The longer you wait, the more people are going to see this page and the worse you're going to make yourself look. We will continue to post evidence emailed to us by people who you've screwed in the past until you decide to swallow your pride, step up and be a real woman and admit that what you did was wrong. You know that news spreads like wildfire in the PSP world so it'd be in your best interest to take our advice. Deep down, you know we're right so what do you have to lose? Money? Money isn't everything you know. Just look at all the hatred and negative energy you're creating both around you and inside yourself. What's more important? Your mental health or those declining US dollars?

We hope you make the right decision, for your sake.

Sincerely,
My PSP Tubes

After exposing Jolene online I received a ton of emails from others who have also been ripped off by her. Here is an example of a few of them:

Date: Thursday, August 18, 2011 9:50 AM

From: "Sarah" (not her real name)

Subject: Info showing Jo being a pirate!

I'm all for f**king Jo cause she f**ked over a lot of artists and customers as well! Here's a link to a site on a blog showing she was stealing stuff from kits and claiming it as her own and well as tubes that she cut without the artists permission http://janniscrapdesigns.blogspot.com/2006/11/couple-of-things.html

Please do not post my info as she already screwed me for a few thousand dollars and I'm suing her ... I paid for hard items like signed originals, prints, etc. and never received them and she said they were to come from the artists but the artists never got paid, she did.

I feel horrible for the artists that are getting screwed by her. She got her cronies so brainwashed to believe she's a saint!

... If you Google JoLuvsDogs you will find a bunch of stuff also.

Subject: Jolene is a thief!!

This is not hate mail for you, but I know for a fact that awhile back, a friend lent Jolene around $1200 cause she couldn't pay her electric, no food, etc. Jolene would never pay her back. And this was not that long ago either. The same friend sent her a nice camera to use, and Jolene turned around and sold it on ebay. When the person asked to be paid back, Jolene would not answer and blocked her. Not someone I'd trust.

You can post this, the whole world should see.

Subject: The Screwed One ....

I am the one that was royally screwed over, by Jo. I lent her, I don’t even remember how much money. Well over $1000. I haven’t spoke to her, in almost 2 years due to the royal screwing I got from her. I sent her a couple of cameras, then to find one for sale on ebay, under her user name. Confronted her on this and told her if she’s selling what I’m sending, I can use that money myself. I asked for the return of the items. HA!! That never happened and we spiralled downwards. She cries, and plays on sympathies. Her world is what she’s made it to be. So in dealing with Jo, do NOT fall for the ole "woe is me routine" ... it IS a routine.

The money that had been sent was for vet bills, electric bills, food, etc! I was never repaid a cent of any of it. She claims she didn’t ASK for money. There are MORE ways of asking than she thinks. She’s a master manipulator! I’ve witnessed her doing the same things with her own family, other friends, ex in-laws, etc, etc, etc.

She also bent over backwards to get Cyrene removed from MPT. While concentrating on destroying my relationship with her, at the same time. These actions including hacking, as is mentioned elsewhere on the MPT site. She’s even hacked into her in-laws myspace pages a few years back. So this is something she does and does often. Seems some things never change. She forms false accounts, to try to gain information on people she’s mad at or wants to spy on. The internet is her world and she knows how to work it very well, in HER favor.

I left psp’ing all together, when I split ways with Jo. Due to the fact, I seen the new line up of cronies forming and was hearing all the BS she was spreading on me. While having me blocked, in every way she could. I still heard about this stuff. Removed everyone in any way associated with her! She THRIVES on attention and sympathy! So I let her have her attention, while feeling sorry for the new cronie line-up she was forming. She has a 6th grade mentality, when having her battles. If she’s mad, she’s going to be sure she has a line up of "friends" to be mad at you too. I SO outgrew this, and WAY outgrew her! My life is much more quiet and non drama filled since she blocked me! Thanks for at least giving me THAT Jo!

I asked for my money and camera to be returned. Numerous times!! As I spoke my mind to her and called her out on all her BS. Never in public (I didn’t need the attention, she does), always private emails. Never received one cent ... never received the camera. Not a cheap camera, as it was a Olympus SLR. How she can take pride in her possessions is beyond me. It’s stolen, and only received under false pretenses. Nothing I would ever be proud of owning. She has no real life friends, only internet cronies. There are reasons for this! Even having fallouts constantly with her own family. She will take advantage of, and use anyone she can, to benefit herself.

As far as stealing art, she DID and she DOES know how to remove watermarks. Always has, and did (back in the days). Along with pirated software, and movies ... she knows no bounds on the internet or in life.

I knew all her games would eventually catch her and bite her in the a**. I was sent a email, linking me to MPT, stating I was mentioned there ... not by name. My day has arrived ... time for Jo to get her just rewards! So I felt it was time to speak my side, as she had done a plenty about me (after our parting). Ya know ... the hurt puppy syndrome, she tosses out so freely. EVERYone in this world can’t be wronging Jo ALL the time. Time for her to take a good look at herself and ask "why always me!?"

While she will know exactly who wrote this, I respectfully ask that my name not be published, if you publish this. I don’t care if you publish, just please do not use my name if you choose to published. I am bitter and she hurts many people. I was just one of the many that left her path.

Thanks for listening.
