Attached to this note are fake press reviews/interviews of Mel Puleo. Mr. Puleo writes them himself, praising himself to the skies while pretending that the interview is done by an independent member of the press.
So how do you know that these press releases and interviews are fake? Compare the press releases to a snapshot from Mr. Puleo's blog:
(1) Mel Puleo will use unnecessary capitalization, especially in the middle of a sentence.
(2) He will use '&' instead of typing the word 'and'. He will also use 'co' instead of company. He will use 'X owner' instead of typing "ex owner". What kind of a real credible journalist would write up a press release using such abbreviations?
(3) Absolutely unnecessary use of multiple exclamation !!! marks.
(4) Riduculous usage of numbers and percentages to show promise of his crappy businesses.
For example "The 64,000 dollar question is, Will Groupon lose market share to this new competitor"? Why is this a 64,000 dollar question and not a million dollar question?
Because Mr. Puleo comes up with random numbers off the top of his head.
(5) He will praise himself in idiotic terms calling himself "an intense individual" and claim that he "truly resembles Tony Soprano".
(6) He will insult and verbally harass people who question his credibility or ask him to show proof of his businesses being profitable and not scams. This is because he has no such proof.
(6) And last but not the least, absolutely bad grammar, short abrupt badly worded sentences with an absencence of periods.
You can also find examples of his sloppy grammar in the fake references he has published below.

Here we go again. Carmine Mel Puleo publishing fake references in his favor while pretending to be someone else.
Am I the only one who thinks it strange that the references mostly begin with "To Whom it May concern"?
"Mel and Amber live and die on the battle field" ?? Who on earth writes a reference like this? The one and only Mel Puleo. And "battlefield" is one word, not two you mororn.
"I suspect the guy/gal who is writing all this is nothing but a looser who living in their mom’s basement, probably smoke a bit of dope everyday."
This is how C.E.O Tyde Bo writes a letter of recommendation? Using words like "guy/gal" and "co" instead of "company"? And why does the word 'Rubbish' start with a capital 'R' in the middle of a sentence. That is 'loser', not 'looser' you idiot.
This is typical of Mel Puelo. Fake interviews and fake references. Mel has responded to me via email in the past calling me a 'looser'. He does not know how to spell the word correctly, a grammatical blunder emblamatic of Mr. Puleo.
All of the references are empty vacuous praises with no substantial proof of actual businesses. They all follow the same pattern and have similar grammatical mistakes. These can also be found in the fake interviews Mel Puleo publishes online whenever he ventures out on a new scam.

Greetings, to whom it may concern:
I am happy to provide a professional recommendation/reference letter for my friend and business partner, Mr. Mel Puleo. This letter is based upon my experience with his professional consulting/placement business and also as a partner in projects together.
Personally, I have been a business owner, top sales professional, a speaker and trainer, and also a regional manager for a successful national coast to coast company. (All of this with 40+ years and counting) of course, in business, there will always be a necessary place for sincerity, honesty, leadership and fairness. Leadership by example is always a winning formula.
Most of us in business have found that not all companies and persons function based on upstanding values. This is unfortunate of course. At this late date in my professional experience I have had to admit that "Many people are not qualified to be my associate, manager, partner or friend"!
Fortunately though, Mel Puleo has proven positive to me on all of these points through his work ethic, morals and practice. Additionally he is a fine entity in business to learn, reason, and grow with. Forward thinkers and leaders have found their success moving through a vast and ugly field of play. It is always excellent to find these kinds of people like C. M. Puleo who also value integrity!
Trying to make sense of all the nonsense written about Mel’s Co. Can really throw one for a loop!! When I can tell you from my own personal experience, it has been 180 degrees the opposite of what was written, don’t be persuaded by jealous people that have no basis for their claims, I see these claims and classify them as a competitor who would love to achieve 5% the level of success Mel & Amber where able to tap into. Mel is constantly bringing great deals, to be frank once you get to know him on the level that i’ve had the pleasure too, I don’t just consider him a partner, but a true friend.
Thank you for your kind attention.

To whom this may concern:
Carmelo Puleo, (AKA Mel) CM Puleo Consulting LLC, hands down one of the smartest/hardest working "laser focused entrepreneurs" we've ever had the pleasure to meet. We can't say enough about him and his wife Amber. If your Company is looking to bring on an individual with tremendous talent, credibility, integrity, commitment, high energy that won't stop until the job is done, Mel Puleo is as good as a "find" as it gets.
From knowing him several years of working on the Searl Spintronic Motor "Free Energy Technology" and other green energy related projects, his drive and tenacity has always been towards how can we get the entire planet on green energy, how can we get everyone off the grid, how can we create opportunities in new emerging fields.
He does not feel that what he does is real work. Amber and Mel truly enjoy the Energy Field, and if you ever meet him, he seems to have too much energy himself.
Lastly, I'll say this; Mel and Amber live and die on the battle field and as always looking out for the small people. Hiring CM Puleo Consulting will be a move that will prove to be a pivotal point for any corporation and success will speak for itself in due time.
If you have any further questions, please contact me via email. Thank you.
Debra and Jim Harvey
To whom it may concern.
We at Platinum Advertising have had the pleasure of doing business with Mel Puleo for roughly 3 years now. In our experience with Mel he’s always been an asset and always will be. Mel is a star recruiter who takes a lot of pride in bringing talented individuals to the table and his ability to follow up is unparalleled. Over the course of the 3 years we did business with Mel he always upheld is end of the bargain and made sure the individuals he recruited were taken care of and tended to. If opportunity permits we will continue to do business and look forward to tackling new projects with Mel in the future.
We hope you strongly consider making him a member of your team and we strongly feel that you will find his abilities, experience, knowledge and skillset to be very helpful. If you have any further questions regarding Mel’s abilities or work history with Platinum do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

It is with great pleasure to recommend Carmelo Puleo, (AKA MEL) for any position he is seeking. His leadership, integrity, professionalism, knowledge, collaboration, and overall business acumen are just some of the assets he brings to any person or organization he comes into contact with.
If I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Puleo on any campaign, I would not hesitate. To be frank we’re working on some new projects as we speak that should manifest shortly. Mel Puleo & his wife Amber do business the way business needs to be done!
Look, when I came across all this Rubbish on the Net about Mel & his Co. I was also skeptical, but the longer you get to know Mel & Amber, you come to one quick realization, that all the rubbish on the net about these people & their co is just that, rubbish, I suspect the guy/gal who is writing all this is nothing but a looser who living in their mom’s basement, probably smoke a bit of dope everyday. If you need to reach me to confirm, Have Mr. Puleo forward you my contact information, and I’ll be more than happy to verify my findings, Thank You for your time & God Bless.

Mel Puleo claims that his company has "beyond impeccable reputation". That is an outright and blatant lie.
(1) Google the name Mel Puleo and you will come across more than half a dozen shady businesses based out of Florida.
(2) His loan business asks for your social security number, login credentials to the credit reporting agencies and your tax information. He expects you to send all of these to a business that operates on a gmail account.
(3) He has a business that claims to invest in gold prospects. Totally false.
(4) He tried to sell cars that required no gas or maintenance ever. He would be happy to accept US $12000 of your money despite the fact that he did not have any cars in stock or had even test driven one. Loony scheme as can be.
(5) There are a host of failed web ventures associated with him: Funzulu.com (s supposed MySapce competitor), a GroupOn competitor.
Noble endeavour, except that he regularly publishes fake press interviews lavishly praising himself and his web sites to the high skies. All these press releases are punctuated by major grammatical errors, unnecessary capitalization and really bad spelling.
(6) Look at another ripoff report where he has attacked and verbally abused a former landlord of his. Mel Puleo refused to pay the last month's rent on the grounds that the landlord held his security deposit. A laughable idea.
(7) There are a host of complaints about his energy business. He claims to be the CEO of a company. A company with no employees. Anyone can register a company and claim to be a CEO. Even Mel Puleo.
But do not take my word for it. Google the name Mel Puleo, read about his reputation and make your own judgement about his business ethics.

Mel Puleo has been deleting pages pertaining to his shady businesses that I have been pointing out. He can run but he cannot hide. Let us all endeavor to make this a better world by exposing fraudsters like Mel Puleo.
(1) Here is a link to an electric car that Mel Puleo will sell you for US $12000. Never mind that he has never seen one himself, let alone test driven it.
http://www.racecar2000.com/classifieds/view-ad-20867.html
No Gas, No Oil Changes , No Oil & Air filter, No Transmission Maintenance, No engine repairs, No tune ups EVER!!
ZERO EMISSIONS!!! Just rotate the tires, add wiper fluid & YOU'RE DONE!!
Pretty amazing eh? Or shoudl I say amusing.
(2) http://www.free-press-release.com/news-dubli-could-well-be-the-best-kept-secret-in-the-country-watch-out-ebay-1221404288.html
Another shady ebusiness attempt by Mel Puleo. He has not learnt from his earlier failures. He had attempted to start a social networking site called FunZulu that sank without a trace. After that he tried to launch a GroupOn competitor and that was again a failure.
So what's next for Mel? A competitor to EBay. He has used the same marketing keywords that he has used for his earlier failed ventures, i.e., "best kept secret", "unique business model", etc. This one seems doomed as well.
(3) http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/--No-More-Electric-bills_135058139.html
No more electric bills ever. Zero it out, Mel says. Another scam by the highly intelligent Mel Puleo.
Electric cars that do not exist. E-Businesses that never materialize. Fake claims to zero out your electricity bill. All by the one and only, Mel Puleo.

C.M. Puleo Consulting LLC , Mel Puleo , Carmelo Puleo , C. Mel Puleo is a pathological liar and commits fraud/ slander
As Everybody can see C.M. Puleo Consulting LLC , Mel Puleo , Carmelo Puleo likes to lie and make totally false claims about me and my company . Just look at his response and this report . He is just a pathological Liar , crazy and deluded . Why would anybody in their right mind expect or even think they should be paid for bad sales that have dropped and weren’t approved by the customers utility ? That doesn’t make sense to me . He is a Freeloader who wants to get paid for none thing . He also loves to resort to stalking , physical violence and death threats if he doesn’t get his way . I am not worried about it because if you know C.M. Puleo Consulting LLC , Mel Puleo , Carmelo Puleo , He is all talk and no action. He loves to claim he makes 1000’s of sales for ESCO’s / REPS and that the ESCO’s / REPS and brokers all love him and his company . That’s totally untrue and false . I have a lot of people I can give you that will all say he is all talk no action , crazy ,deluded and a pathological liar . My Advice is Not to do business with him and run as far away as you can from him . The only sales he can put up are bad dirty sales . His company has been involved in several lawsuits , PUC complaints for fraud and slamming customers ,brokers and ESCO’s/REPS . Just google his company name and his name . You will find lots of complaints about him and his company for Fraud , slamming customers , PUC complaints and DNC complaints . I am done wasting my valuable time and energy on C.M. Puleo Consulting LLC , Mel Puleo , Carmelo Puleo. This is my last response on this matter

They are both written by supposedly independent journalists. However, when you read the articles, please compare the bad grammar, incorrect sentences and un-required use of the CAPS key to the original complaint here filed by Mel Puleo.
It is pretty obvious that these are fake press releases written by none other than Puleo himself. He has of course praised himself lavishly in the articles. He actually thinks he resembles Tony Soprano and calls himself viciously competetive.
No mention of his failed pharmacy, fake loan operation and electric car reselling business in these fake interviews.
Please ask yourself. Would you want to do business with someone like Puleo?

As a bonus, please view the video below and watch for yourself his abusive behavior towards an elderly landlord. What Puleo does not mention was that he was delinquent on the rent, abusive towards his neighbors and management.

Astoundingly, Mr. Puleo asks for your SSN, bank account, tax returns and your login credentials to the major credit reporting agencies.
Please google "mel puleo business loan" for more information in case the above links are redacted/deleted.

Mel Puleo says in his original complaint that David Hjorth "is the dumbest business man alive". In this same complaint, Mr. Puleo also says Mr. Hjorth "f***ed me!! and he will F*** you too". Mr. Horth has "F****ed me out of aprox $4,000.00 usd" says Mr. Puleo.
Well, Mr. Puleo, I have a question for you. If David Hjorth "is the dumbest business man alive" but still F****ed you out of aprox $4,000.00 usd, how dumb are you?

(1) What is undeniable is that you asking people to send in their tax returns, bank accounts, SSN and log in credentials to "http://creditchecktotal.com" is unscrupulous. How do you justify that? For heavens sake, your loan business is working on a Gmail account. Do you really think people are that stupid to send you their personal information?
(2) How can you in your YouTube video rave and rant against pharmaceutical companies, while you yourself open an online pharmaceutical company called MedsMonster?

(3) You call John Vann a M**F** in your YouTube video? What sort of morals do you have? The man is old enough to be your father.
All that you have done is insult me and call me names in your reply. You have not addressed my questions in anyway. its very convenient for you to say that you will not post any rebuttals. Apparently you have no answere to my questions. No legitimate answers.

You my friend are a Pathetic loser who cannot fid a "REAL JOB" so John Van has hired you to try and make me look ridicules, let me clue you in, it will not work! Yes I had tried to launch a Electric Car Business, but my contact in S. Korea was not willing to have $$$ sit in escrow until products was delivered, so your claim does not hold any water. I have tried several things that have not panned out like many entrepreneurs.
What you do not know about me is I have owned 9 SUCCESSFUL Pizzerias / Restaurants, I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS BECAUSE I GUESS MY POSTINGS ON CRAIGSLIST & ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT MR. JOHN VANN IS HAVING AN EFFECT ON HIS BUSINESS, AND I'M PROD TO SAY I HAVE SAVED SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTACTED ME, & I HAVE SAVED THEM THE HEARTACHE OF NOT DEALING WITH THIS CRAZY LUNATIC OF A LANDLORD.

Mr. Puleo has challenged anyone to google C. M. Puleo consulting LLC or run an FBI check on him personally. I do not have the means to run an FBI check, but I did google him and this is what I found.
(1) Mel Puleo makes the astounding claim that he can sell you an electric car that costs less than 2 cents per Mile to operate. No Gas, No Oil Changes , No Oil & Air filter, No Transmission Maintenance, No engine repairs.
He does NOT have a model to show you or that you can drive, NO information on the manufacturer and these cars are NOT on display anywhere. There is no proof that such a car exists.
What Mr. Puleo would like you to do is to pay him thousands of dollars upfront, and he "promises" to deliver the car to you.
http://www.tradekey.com/selloffer_view/id/2150211.htm
(2) Mel Puleo guarantees you a 100K or 200K loan within 10 business days. All that he asks is that you send him your bank statements, tax returns for the past 3 years with your SSN, home address, and log in credentials to "http://creditchecktotal.com"
This is incredible. Are you really serious Mr. Puleo? You want people to send you all that personal information to your business that operates on a Gmail account? Do you seriously expect people to send in their login credentials to their credit reports?
Amazing. Or might I add, amazingly stupid. But please do not take my word for it. Visit the link below to see what kind of business Mr. Puleo operates.
