I paid JBA Network an exorbent amount money to build a very basic website for my internet business. Months and months later and still no website, I found out through a past employee that JBA Network, aka Lonnie Lepore, takes people's money, especially women, and then never has his staff do the work. If you hired JBA, but are unforunate enough to live out of state like the 3 other women I spoke with, them you will be unable to take JBA or any other of his pseudo business names, aka Lonnie Lepore, to court. JBA will try every stall tactic in the book, and ultimately will not show up at court, but they will refund your money,
once a judge orders them to and once the Sheriff's Department tracks them down from hiding out back. Mr. Lepore is a convicted felon and knows all of the loopholes to make clients not want to pursue. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with any of his businesses. You will get ripped off and it will be a hassle. His past employee was kind enough to give me names and contact information of other people he had taken money from and not done the work. I spoke with 3 other women who had the same experience I did. Shame on ya'll for ripping people off.

The Better Business Bureau website has additonal information on JBA Network, By Region Network, ByRegion.net, etc. Just type in 311 Montford Avenue, Asheville, NC, which is a private residence. This is a merely a friendly forum to warn other people, so that they do not get ripped off or receive the same treatment that myself and 3 other women received. I understand it's your "job" to respond. To my knowledge, the past employee currently lives out of state and has not worked for JBA with any regularity for several years.
