To whom it may concern:
Mr. Jim Cavalier worked at my office for less than 2 weeks in June 2013. He stole leads from my office and contacted several hundred of my customers telling them that I was out of business and to purchase niche blog websites from his company world web malls for anywhere from 5K to 25K.
Mr. Jim Cavalier offers 18 month 'performance satisfaction' money back guarantees to the prospects he defrauds. this is evidenced by his F rating with the BBB for every business he has owned in Phoenix AZ including Modern Marketing Systems, Success Solar Group and many more including world web malls.
After he resigned his position while owing me an $140 advance on commissions... Mr. Cavalier decided to team up with another convicted felon named Eric Driggers who also had worked at my office for less than approx. one month. Mr. Cavalier is currently under investigation for forging a check in the amount of $1407 which is the exact amount he claimed he felt he was owed for "minimum wage" when he worked for only 15 days at my office as an independent contractor on straight commission.
Mr. Cavalier obtained the information to forge a check from disgruntled former sales person Eric R. Driggers who is currently on probation with repeat violations. After sending threat letters to my home demanding that I pay him minimum wage, Mr. Cavalier proceeded to use stolen data from my office to defraud my customers out of over $100,000. One such customer Mrs. Susan Goggins of AL was defrauded out of over $60,000 which she sent to Mr. Cavalier between Aug 2013 and Oct 2013.
For the record the phoenix police department recommended Mr. Cavalier for prosecution utilizing bank teller, footage showing him depositing the $1407 check he forged against my company... Mr. Cavalier called the police to deny the charges and actually was caught lying to the police when he claimed he initiated an "ACH" transfer against my bank thus claiming he only did an "electronic transfer" against my business bank account.
Yet the bank teller remembered Mr. Cavalier and provided undeniable proof that Mr. Cavalier himself presented the check he forged my name on to his own credit union. Mr. Cavalier also defrauded the AZ Federal Credit Union by leaving his bank in the negative after cashing the fraudulent check.
I have the police report number, forged check and video surveillance footage proving all of the above. I also have proof that the threat letters sent to me by Mr. cavalier bear his signature which perfectly matches his own signature endoresment on the forged check he presented against my account.
This indivudual is a con man that offers 18 month guarantees and promises of income to lure customers into offers that are too good to be true. His BBB record is deplorable and he has been the recipient or plaintiff in dozens of lawsuits which can be verified online.
After telling my clients I was out of business and selling them worthless websites, Mr. Cavalier decided to copy or reverse engineer the legitimate business I do with Empower Network in order to use the Empower Network name to sell his worthless websites and defraud even more people.
Mr. Cavalier runs a tiny approx. 400 square foot office with no air conditioning on dunlap ave in phoenix az where he pays his employees via cash or money order cause he doesnt have a business account according to several witnesses...
Mr. Cavalier has defamed me to my customers who have recorded his defamation which I will be using in court if necessary. In addition, Mr. Cavalier had the audacity after stealing my customer lists, online program and sales reps to file a frivoulous lawsuit claiming he was owed 3X damages for the minimum wage he felt he was owed.
He claimed he worked 150 hours in 15 days at my office which is a outright fabrication as are all of his claims. The judge threw his case out of court when I furnished the court with a police report and proof that Mr. Cavalier signed the forged check and it matched his threat letter signatures.
In December 2013 Mr. cavalier filed a motion to re-open his suit seeking $1407 plus court costs and his motion was once again denied by the court. I have proof of all of the lies, recorded testimony from my customers that lost thousands of dollars and proof that Mr. Cavalier is a dishonest, corrupt business owner that does not even hold a bank account.
In addition, I have a copy of a check in the amount of $150,000 that Mr. Cavalier sent to one of my customers in an potential check kiting scheme. This sheme required my client Ms. Goggins to endorse the check from an international investor over to Mr. Cavalier and promised my client that she would receive half of the check amount or approx. $75,000
I have recorded phone calls of Mr. Cavaliers accomplices and himself stating they received the money and were sending a check to Mrs. Goggins in the mail... She of course never received a penny and has in fact lost over $60,000 of her life savings.
Mrs. Goggins spent $25 for Empower Network with my company and was called by Mr. Cavalier and his accomplices Eric Driggers, Michael Douglas and others, all of which stated I was out of business and they were handling my accounts. Mrs goggins is in a wheelchair and disabled. She lost $60K
Dont believe me. Email me for the police records and check forger proof. Mr Cavalier your fraud and crime has gone on long enough and I am going to request the Maricopa County Prosecutors office to find you and make you pay restitution to the clients of mine that you have defrauded.
Mr Jim Cavalier is the King of Malarky not Robert Probst. We will see soon who can prove their case in court. Mr. Cavalier lost twice in court. It is time his criminal behaviour is made public and that he is prosecuted for lying to the police, check forgery and check fraud across state lines.
This is the only rebuttal or response here authorized by Robert Probst. The others are fraudulent. Please contact me at empowermentor1 at gmail dot com if you are a state prosecutor or someone that has been defrauded by Mr. Cavalier as I am building a preponderance of evidence that proves that he is a criminal.
He worked at my office for less than 3 weeks, and tried to destroy my reputation online, with my clients and with my company. He called Empower and made false statements about me. Mr. Cavalier along with Mr. Eric Driggers are ungrateful ex sales reps that have reportedly been meth addicts and according to recent mug shots online of Mr. Driggers he has violated his probation repeatedly.
If you receive a call from Mr. Cavalier, Eric Driggers or World Web Malls I would advise you to stay away from them and to call the police. Make sure to record the conversation to capture the guarantees of income and outright lies they will tell in order to get money out of people. I wish I had done a simple background check back when Mr. Cavalier and Mr Driggers applied for a sales job at my office. They both were literally broke and needed check advances to make ends meet.
Mr. Cavalier defrauded his own bank out of $1407 and me and he is still calling my customers desperately trying to raise money with false promises and 18 month guarantees... Mr. Cavalier has a record online of harrassing people he has done business with including a local hot rod shop in phoenix az and others. He is a liar and a thief and should not be trusted under any circumstances.
This is based on the testimony of over a dozen of my clients that received phone calls attempting to defraud them out of money while using my office, my name and the Empower Network as a way to make his deceptive marketing practices seem more credible.
I will be seeking civil damages in court for the damage Mr. Cavalier has done to my clients and my business. We will see in court who the king of malarky really is. Good luck Mr. Cavalier I have all of your lies to police, banks and my clients on tape and camera. Your check forgery is a felony and you will soon be going to jail.

Phoenix,#3General Comment
Thu, October 10, 2013
This report is being written on the behalf of Robert Probst. He recently posted two defamatory RORs claiming Jim Cavalier of www.empowernetwork.com/worldwidemalls was stealing credit card numbers and illegally charging them. Nowhere in these complaints stated anything about Empower Network being a scam, nor did they mention any blame being put on Empower Network. Worldwidemalls doesn't even collect credit card information. Don't you think it's a little strange the attack was only geared toward two specific people? People who invest with Jim are real investors, not anyone who would waste their time filing petty RORs with false accusations. Robert Probst knows who Erick is but he couldn't find a real picture of Jim so he used a fake pic. There was never any investor who called Jim's office to complain about thier credit card info being stolen or used. Like I said, if this was a REAL complaint any consumer would also be compelled to attack Empower Network, not just the two affiliates only. I understand that an individual must be held responsible for thier own actions, but fraud in Phoenix Arizona is very high and serious. Why would you denigrate innocent employees whose previous actions aren't even conducive to the report against Jim? Why would someone in Empower Network who is at a very high level illegally charge credit cards and suffer the chargebacks? This complaint makes ZERO sense. In the two RORs filed against Jim Cavalier, one states that 3 employees illegally charged 300 credit card accounts.... WHAT? How would someone filing a ROR complaint have knowledge of a criminal possessing 300 credit card numbers? You (person filing ROR) also allege that marketing materials were fraudulently copied for re-use. Which is it Mr. Probst, did Jim steal credit card numbers and scripts? Wow, you must be really mad at him acting like a fake consumer? Dude, just be a man and admit what you wrote...ROBERT YOU ARE SO BUSTED. Especially because these RORs showed up when immediately when you got SERVED. Robert has a history of not paying his employees all the money he owes. If he is willing to go to these desperate measures by caluminating RORs to try and gain some sort of edge, imagine what aspersion you would suffer from him!

I don't know where you got this photo Clark, but this is not the Jim Cavalier associated with Worldwidemalls of Empower network. I feel bad for the person in the mugshot because apparantly this person is not who you are portraying in this report. You could be sued by this person in the pic who you say is Jim Cavalier(which isn't),...just to let you know. I know Jim personally, and your defamatory comments are neither proven nor justified. No one involving worldwidemalls is being investigated by Phoenix PD for fraud, or running credit card info illegally. The mugshot of Erick is from YEARS ago, and nothing to do with fraud. Clark, it seems like you are in "vindictive" mode and since you yourself used to be some sort of comptetion. You are unjustifiably labeling Jim as a person of interest in a fraud case. THIS IS NOT TRUE. All of these crimes you allege are frivalous. If this was the case it would not be possible to continue partnering with Empower Network. It is impossible to prove who you actually are or who even posted this complaint. It is easy to come on to ROR and post illegitimate accusations as you did. God Bless you.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Eric Driggers. Eric R. Driggers. It would appear Mr. P**** can't look as far as his empoyee records before going on line and proving that anyone can go on-line and vomit pretty much anything on a website without verifying information. But of course that would most likely be the reason someone would hide behind the name "Clark" I have no doubt that Proast sees himself as the man of steal that will save the day and claim all the glory, which, along with money, is his only driving motivator.
I feel no need to hide behind a fake name, faulse prolice reports, maniputaion, or any of the other tatics employed by P**** which are characteristic only of a small child who, when they don't get their way, begain to cry, scream, and shout whatever they think will harm the other. Well, let me be clear that what started this episode of "Ther World According to P****" was the fact that someone actually stook up to him. That someone wass me. He dislike so much he fired me, leaving the General Manager position with Opt In Marketing vacant. We will come back to that open slot in a few monents.
As I stated, I was P****'s General Manager; one in a long line of Managers, all having "let him down" and "failed him" to hear him tell the story. It would seem there are multiple opportunities he has been involved in as well which have done the same; at least one of which earned him a spot right here in the ripoff report. I wonder if the reasoning he gave for these moving from oportunity to oportinity are as P**** claimed in a webinar on June 26th at approx. 7:48 pm (some of us actually check our facts before stepping into these things while other simply regurgatate whatever rumor or speculation they here thinking if they hide behind a fake name it can never be a lie attributed to them). I was still in P****'semployee at the time and remebered the impact his victom mentality had on me as I listened to him blame person after person and company after company.
As his General Manager I was privy to see the real P****. Not the "I am here to help people" image he puts on when he wants to enocurage his team....but the P**** that care little about anybody unless they have thousands of dollars to put in his pocket. But before we get to establishing the level of absolute crap in this juvenile attempt to throw rocks from behind a hedge, let me present the truth on a couple of issues.
Frirst, my name is Eric R. Driggers. I am more than happy to present a copy of my birth certificate to anyone who wants to see. Except, of course, you P****. You will have to wait for court for that one. I am a felon. I was covicted of DUI in 2001. In 2011 I was charged with Tresspass. This is a felony offense in Arizona when it involves a residenct. What P**** doesn't mention, mainly because he never talked with me about any of this, is that the charge came as a result of a legal seperation we failed to disolve when we attempted to reconcile. Despite the imminet divorce we were moving in to, my now ex-wife faught this charge along with me. I think that about says it all. Or their is the version Robert presented to my former team in order to ruin my reputatio with them; clear defimation. Whichever version you choose to believe, one fact remains true. My past which in no way has ever affected P**** or his business, has become his platform for one reason. All his other BS didn't work. Not even filing a false police report and showing up at my home with Phx PD to "have em arrested and thrown in jail for stealing his car." Actually, it wasn't his car and was not in his name. Tha's right, he tried to sell me a car he did not even own. And the object that started all of this. P****, in his characteristic need to contral everyone and everything, tried to use this car to manipulae me into working more hours, even atemtign to dictate that I have the car at work and not allow my girlfriend to have access to it. The final straw when when he begain to speak disresectfully of her. Since then this has become about everything bout the truth. P**** owes me money that he doesn't want to pay. And he owes many others that I wantched him cheat employees out of. And after research his business structure extensively, it appears there are couple others he owes who alwasy get their money. Knowing this is true, P**** has made one frantically grasped at anything he thinks he can use as a reaon to defraud. And all of this proven by the pages and pages of emails and texts I have wherein he states blatently he has too much movey for any of this to affect him and that nobody will believe a felon like me. Well, let me be clear on this one. I don't want anyone to believe me. The evidence and P****'s own words are all that is needed to expose a pretensious bigot like P****s. And it is only his narsasitic beleives about himself in relations to other and an unending need to "APPEAR" to be right which keeps him in this and will bring out every last thing he actually trying to hide.
Second, and this is where wisit the vacant General Manager position, Taryn Lopez is not a part of my team nor will he be. But Robert know this. How do I know? Becasue the Manager position was given to him at my departure; a surpirsing move given that only 48 hours befoe P**** rejected my proposal to mentor him stating he was not management materal. Fact is he worked for P**** to within just a few days before P**** filed his report on here. Looks like maybe a littler more fact checking would have went a long way.
And third, having discussed this situation numerous time, Jim Cavalier and I both agreed that recovering the money owed to us was sufficient and we would do better to follow a long proven model of successful business which is to focus on your clients and and you will not have to worry about compotition becasue you will leave them far behind. But Prost had another idea. He decided to set out and prove that his money will make his fraud of no matter; everyone would believe him simply because he is far superior to everyone else (just ask him and he will tell you) and he has money. I am confident he will soon know that to be not true. Thow for that one he will most likely want to make the judge respnsible for letting him down and failing him.
For sake of time I will quickly move through the blatent lies and misrepresentation here.
1) I am not aware of any database of credit card number. Any database would have been handeled by him. Once orders were processed the sales sheets went to him and that is where they stayed. So P****, where the card numbers? And which 300 clients did you expose to potential identity theft and credit card fraud? and if this database did infact exist, why was I not entering in the credi card numbers alont wtih all the other data I did considering I was the last one to touch it before it disappeard?
2) A week or two, P**** put out a letter to all his team members staing Jim and I had both been let go for issues of ethics. Fact is, Jim did not get fired. After having a meeting with Robert and I the day before and offereing to help in our efforts to build and deelop a successful sales team, Robert. as he did numerous times in my presence, became immotionally unstable; ranting and raving about his years in business and his superior abilities. All of which would not allow him to keep a amanger of an employee for any real length of tiem.
3) Having heard rumors of Robert contacting Phoenix PD, We chose to remain focussed believing this was probably just another of his last attempt maniputaions. Surely if he had, Phx Pd would have contacted us. Well with the find of this report, and ahving finaly had enough of his arrogant, self righteous BS, we contated Phx PD and inquired of the complaint. Needless to say, I am not writing this from jail, and I am sure that just as he stood out in my driveway throwing a temper tantrum when I was not arrest for a car he tried to seel me not being the registered owner, possibley a criminal charge in itself which WILL at this point be persued, I imagine he now beside himself wondering how Phx PD could even question the word of Rober P**** and not arrest us immediately indepedent of an investigation.
4) Con men....interesting term. The only "script" used in his office was the script he himself penned and insisted upon. As the truth of who P**** is and how he was scamming clients and staff alike came out and were put on the table for discussion, P**** again and again put blame on everyone else to justify his activies. This is a business model we dd not and will not use. The only similarites between Proast this office is that we can actually retain employees and results can be realzed with the empower oportunity ever if the new team member dows have several thousand dollars to stick in P**** pocket just to finnd they could receive service and help from noone; unable to evern reach P****'s offce or get return calls.was his words clients heard and his "business model" and complete lack of leadership ability or concern for those he took money from. I do appreciate P****'s comment about not being another victom. He can certainly speak on it given the number of victoms he has created.
Bottom line, Proabst is a self serving ego-manic who has misrepresented his business model in order to shirk fianancial fresponsibilites and place them on the shoulders of others. He believes his empoyees and their priorties to be nothing as they relate to his -because he is the far more important Robert P****. This is a man that speak of ethics and having pulled up in his BMW 700 series and then walks past the employees he owes money to and hides behind his office door. A man that tells of how he is in fear for his family or his business to get others attention and hopefully win them to his little man complet cause then then walks into his office and brandishes a fire arem and scares the hell our an employee. A man that would set a porformance goal for an employee thinking he could get rid of him, but when the goal was hit simply decided to fire him for another reason; most likely that he and I were friends. Most of all, he a man so driven by his pride, arrogance and lust for recognition and money that he will put will turn to and use as tatics the very same things he critisized and accoused other of using, evern going so far begin to proclaim me a felon, then turning around and threaghtening to conact a past Manager, also a felon, who Robert claims extored him (it was his spot I filled) for the simple and clearly stated purpose of damaging my reputation and having me thrown in jail not becaseu I did anything wrong, but becasue becasue I am lesser than he so any aligation from him is good enough.
And let me go on record as saying James Calvalier has frogotten more about good business than P**** will evern know and demonstrates character as foreign to P**** as a thriving business, happy empoyees or satisfied clients.

Robert Probst, the person who filed this trash report on "Ripoff Report" is a true scam artist. It seems that every employee he has had working for him in the past 6 months leavs his employ and he refuses to pay them. This report and the false alligations are a joke. Robert Probst is a small person of little consequence and a huge ego that cannot be satisified by this loser.
Yes, there is $1407.00 involved and it is the subject of a civil lawsuit in Miracopa County Court and Robert Probst is the defendant. He cheated me out of $1407.00 and I will win this suit....period.
If you believe the trash a fake like Probst posts on Ripoff Report, you may need help. Don't you think if I or (we) had done these things the Phoenix PD would be all over it. Credit Card fraud is a serious crime and so is accusing somneone of a crime with NO foundation. When all the smoke clears, Robert Problt, the person who posted this crap without using a name, you know False statements hiding behind the Internet and not using a name.
In case you dont believe me. Try asking for yourself. My cell is (480) 544-8870 and Robert Probst is (480) 7764271. Call and see who really tells you the truth. FOAD PROBST!!!!!!!!!!!!
