Complaint Review: K Street Advertising

So we hired K Street Advertising to do our website, right? For a couple weeks, things were doing fine. We
paid them 8 thousand dollars. Then a couple weeks ago we stop hearing from them. Just nothing. We call
and the phone rings. No emails answered. Nothing.

We do some searching on the Internet, and we find out that Ryan there is Ryan Scott Jensen, a rather
infamous small-time telemarketing scammer. Looks like he has a LONG history of setting up Internet scams,
and then bugging out with the money. K-Street Advertising is in Colorado, but they have done this
previously in Utah (as Advanced Web Solutions, Black Box Firm, Level 11 Marketing, Mad Cow Productions,
etc). He has a couple partners named Aaron Christner, Jeremy Rogers and Vince Scapuzi, who are all also
involved with the scams. 

So from what I can tell, they have all up and left, and the business is closed. According to one article on the web, Aaron Christner, Jeremy Rogers and Ryan Scott Jensen ran off with the money, leaving the business empty and ten employees with bounced pay checks and nothing else. The business is locked up and closed, and we have nothing.

We are all out a couple thousand, which is bad but not the end of the world. Learned a lesson- we need to do our due diligence on things like this. But we do want to let others know so they do not get ripped of by these creeps.
