Complaint Review: Damian Renzello - Porta Rinx and Bambini 802-479-1880 - Internet Vermont

Damian Renzello with his mirage of companies including:  Porta Rinx aka Porta Rink (which is generic term but he uses it as the name of his product, there are good ones out there which sell Porta Rinx, just NOT Damian Renzello), he also has companies like Bambini and Bambini Revolution and My Buddy Inc. and Business Card Exchange and more.  This man ripped off our family for thousands of dollars!

And yet another warning about this crook:  http://civiletti.blogspot.com/2007/04/good-news-bad-judgment.html

We should have investigated Damian J. Renzello and his companies before we sent him money, but this scammer (con-man), is so convincing on the phone we trusted him and we lost, we hope you don't lose too!

A little about what we found with Damian Renzello while we were trying to get our money back from this scam artist.  Damian Renzello and his "company" Porta  Rinx and bambini have been in and out of court for more than 10 years!  When you google Damian Renzello and the word fraud you get tons of reports.  When you do a little research you find even the Vermont Attorney General has filed lawsuits about renzello!  Here is an excerpt from one report:  "few years prior to the lawsuit filed by My Buddy Inc. against Renzello and Damian J. Products for unjust enrichment; Renzello was at the center of an investigation and actions taken against him by the Vermont Attorney General; for violation of the Consumer Fraud Act, according to reports made by the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus newspaper. Stemming from Renzellos representations of a business enterprise which according to the Vermont Attorney Generals Office: his business name and his logo deceived consumers into thinking he (renzelo) was affiliated with the State. Debra L. Leahy, Assistant Vermont Attorney General speared headed the action stating: My concerns are that hes using the name of the state. Leahy went on to comment: It implies some kind of connection and there isnt any. In our opinion, that was a violation of the Consumer Fraud Act., stated Leahy who is believed daughter of Vermont US Senator and Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, who nominated presiding Judge Garvan Murtha. Deputy Secretary of State for the State of Vermont said Renzello was trying to capitalize on an appearance of affiliation with the state. According to the Times. He was clearly trading on the State of Vermont name stated Bristow. Renzello attempted to sue the State of Vermont the suit was immediately dismissed. Renzello was forced to admit consumer fraud and his fraudulent business operations ceased."  This is by the Tax Payers against fraud, since it would appear though the Vermont Attorney General forced Renzello's fraudulent business practices to stop he has been involved in lawsuit after lawsuit and allegation of fraud and scam after scam, you can read the full lawsuit here:  http://express-press-release.net/35/Fraud%20Against%20the%20Government%20is%20Rampant%20in%20Vermont%20According%20to%20Court%20Documents.php

This scammer claimed his products are part of the well respected Zamboni corporation, when in fact this little scam artist:  Damian Renzello, is nothing more than some schmuck working out of a garage on a back road in Vermont.  We have filed reports with the Vermont State Police and the local police as well as the BBB and Chamber of Commerce, we are encouraging the many dozens of people who have been scammed by this crook to file reports with the Vermont Attorney Generals Office as well maybe the Vermont Attorney General will shut down this scammer again.

It seems Renzello is always blaming the dozens of bad reports and news articles about him and his fraud on others, my wife and I tried tracking down some of the people Renzello blames the bad reports on and what we found is truly disturbing.  We tried contacting this Mike Nelsen guy who renzello blames a lot of things on, however, this name seems to be extremely common almost like it is made up or just plain FAKE like Renzello's companies.  We did track down a Mike Nelsen in Los Vegus and tried to find out what we could do together, the guy we found evidentially has been contacted many times about Renzello cause he was scared, this guy called the Police and then attorneys, stating he fears for his physical safety and and refused to even acknowledge whether or not he knew Renzello.  Apparently Renzello threatens people whith physical violence and harm when he (Rezello) is backed into a corner and caught defrauding someone.  I got a phone call from an attorney Marc Rubenstein asking me not to contact Mr. Nelsin any more citing concerns that I was not who I said I was, and he asked if I was Stephen Kingrea, some thug friend of Renzello's who has been harassing Nelsin.  I even received a call from a Police Dective who was looking into how I tracked down Nelsin cause they have files and files of reports about how dangerous Renzello and his family are, this gave me great concern.  I researched Renzello more and found that Renzello has physically threatened many people!

Seems Damian Renzello thinks of himself as a mafia like figure and a biker gang member, since he has pictures of himself on harleys all over the Internet.  I downloaded some lawsuits about Renzello and found people have accused him of mafia ties through his brother, Renzello has threatened many people with violence.  An officer in barre vermont wouldn't state on the record but said Renzello and his brother have been under investigation many times and they will eventually through the crooks in prison.  I found Renzello and his brother committed arson and burned their pizzeria to the ground to collect insurance money, and they have threatened people to collect money for their many scam businesses.  He appears to have a brother in law who uses a trucking company to run drugs.  This guy is just one bad bad apple, from one bad bad apple tree of a family.  As if the violence, arson, cash businesses, drug running and things are not bad enough apparently there are reports to keep Children away from Renzello!  WOW, was I relieved to realize I did not let my kids go near this kook!  Police departments have to keep an eye on this psycho path, the State of Vermont has filed lawsuits against him, there are dozens and dozens of reports on the Internet about him stealing peoples money, others are so afraid of him and his family they deny knowing him and call attorneys and police dectives when asked about Damian J. Renzello and his Porta Rinx and Bambini companies. 

Now back to why we are writing this, we are concerned that no other family lose their money to Damian J. Renzello and no other family be victimized by this crooked scam artist the way our family has been.  We are concerned by the information we have learend about this guys fraud and even more greatly concerned by the voilent tendancies this man has towards others and that he comes from an apparently violent family who uses force and threats to intimidate and steal.

It is bad enough to lose money to a crook who demands all the payment up front, but then to be threatened by him and learn many others have been threatened by him and then learn people are freightened of him and the police in several states have files about him and his family.  But then to learn police in his own "backyard" fear having him around children!  Legal documents in lawsuits describe weird twisted sexaul fantacies and relationships with transexuals and little boys, this guy Renzello is such a nut job someone needs to LOCK HIM UP!

Just incase others are really looking for an ice rinx or way to resurface it we wanted to let you know we found NiceRinx.com which seems like a great company and others who have had bad dealings with this scammer, fraudster, molester, crook Renzello have recommended other companies and have even told how renzello buys 200 dollar products and resells them for thousand and thousands of dollars!  "there is a company Nice Rinx which has a great product http://www.nicerink.com I found the exact same porta rinx product that this Renzello guy sells for thousands and thousands of dollars for just 200 dollars on Amazon.com!"  Here is a link to where we found the report:  http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20061201/your-very-own-portable-ice-rink/

In conclusion we hope others won't be victimized the way we have been and hope there are others who will come out and speak against this crook, ex-Felon:  Damian J. Renzello and help put this felon back behind bars.  We were apprehensive about filing complaints fearing violent retailiation like others have been victimized by, but we feel after reading dozens and dozens of reports and trying to reach out to others who deny knowing Renzello and call police and attorneys when they hear his name we just knwo this is one bad bad apple from one bad bad apple tree of a family which needs to be stopped.  Since Renzello already has Felonies and is under investigation in multiple states and others run scared of him and police know he is a DANGER to children and has weird sexual twisted desires with children we can only pray soon this scam artist will be locked behind bars!
