Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Peter Jobst is a horribly overpriced consultant. We took him on on a project and he simply called tech support and had others do his work. His background is falsified, many of his "clients" don't exist, and the ones that due required level one tech support.

The network he helped setup for us was trash, it failed constantly. He wanted the easy mode but if he couldn't get answers from tech support or the internet he failed to do anything! The issues we had we ended up working with the vendor to fix, were easily done, and should have required almost no time to fix. In fact we spent more money on his "consulting" then we did on our entire IT setup. His constant calls of vendor issues and factory problems should have been our first warning, then the bill came, that should have been our second.

He failed to be able to work in different enviroments, his coding was non-existent, his network admin skills were far from adequete, and he lied about his qualifications. He claimed to know unix, windows and mac, but couldn't fix a simple issue with SSH and our unix firewall!

Futhermore he has a bad reputation in the IT industry for using other people to do his job, overcharging his clients for his skillset, and having a beyond basic handle on IT and network support.

He may get better in the future, but as of now he is a D grade consultant for his price, and needs to be honest with his customers about his personal abilities.

Editor’s Note (08/04/2018):  We thank our users for considering Ripoff Report as a source for information and providing warnings to the general public.  That being said, sometimes, after a review of the text, our team will determined that the content filed by an author appears to be serious in nature and therefore questionable and, as such, the Report is placed on hold for further investigations prior to publishing OR is otherwise flagged after publication and is placed into a Review Bin.  If and when Reports are flagged for these types of issues, especially when there are specific serious criminal allegations, we may, as we did here, try to follow up with the Author of the Report to obtain more information.  Our Terms of Service require that information posted be truthful and not defamatory and we are in no position to determine what information is true or false; the author affirms the truth of a posting prior to posting.  We understand that allegations made by an author may very well be true, and we respect an author’s right to Free Speech, but in order for the information to be published once it has been flagged, or for the information to be later (((REDACTED))) once flagged after prior publication, Ripoff Report may ask the author to provide some form of explanation or documentation to support their position.  Depending on the circumstances, if the author fails to respond or timely provide adequate notification, at the sole discretion of Ripoff Report, the Report may be considered “incomplete” and may not be approved or may be (((REDACTED))) to remove the serious allegations or otherwise questionable content from the Report and any Rebuttals thereto that mention such information – more for the purposes of making sure the author is standing behind their Report as we are not a judge and jury to determine the accuracy of evidence.  Redactions below may be due to the author’s failure to adhere to our Terms of Service and/or because the author failed to timely respond with an appropriate response to our inquiry.

CONSUMERS:  Proceed with Caution when reviewing and relying on the subject Report and any additional Postings below as it MAY BE FALSE and/or MISLEADING.  It is highly encouraged that you conduct additional research, from credible sources, before making any determination on whether or not to do business with the named individual(s) or business(es).

PLEASED TO SEE SUCH EFFORTS?  YOU CAN HELP RIPOFF REPORT COMBAT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES:  Ripoff Report, as resources allow, is working towards combatting Cyberharassment, Cyberstalking, Cyberbullying and/or other problems such as what is generically called “revenge posts” that can be riddled with personal commentary and/or allegations that can be serious.   Ripoff Report would love to be able to timely address each and every review request we receive, however, this takes resources.  If you think this is a worth-while endeavor, we encourage you to make a donation so that we can expand the resources that we can devote to this project.  You can make a non-tax deductible donation by clicking HERE NOW or learn a little more by visiting our “Donate to our Efforts” page.  The more resources we have, the more resources we can devote to this project and other forward thinking and positive initiatives like it.

NOW TO THE POSTING(S) THAT HAS BEEN EDITORIALLY REDACTED:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I read this origional report and report: (((REDACTED)))  This is the only time I have reported a contractor or consultant but it needs to be done in this deceptive case.  Peter, as far as I am aware, does not have any real (((REDACTED))) and most of the information he has found is from a few friends along with his (((REDACTED))).

He misleads people to believe that he can and is responsible enough to complete a task or contract and then when he is not able to he ((REDACTED))), attempting to cause (((REDACTED))) This has caused him considerable pain, broken relationships, and wasted time but as a consumer, vendor, or co-worker I suggest thinking twice before working with him on anything. (((REDACTED))) If you want more information just look at the archive and see the photos of him doing it or call his old co-workers that he does not include on his references.

If Peter does have a deal for you, be sure you are a lawyer and are willing to spend your time dealing with all the problems that will come up with non-existent code, lack of skills, and grade F consultation in my opinion.

I have known Peter Jobst for 9 years and have both worked with him personally and professionally. I came across this posting on www.ripoffreport.com because I was doing a search through www.google.com on an event Peter Jobst is volunteering for.

I was appalled by the accusations that this person is claiming and I know for a fact that these allegations are a false defamation of Peter Jobsts character. My experience with Peter Jobst has been nothing but honorable, upstanding, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.

If you come across this posting, just remember that you cant believe everything you read on the Internet, especially when posted by anonymous sources that cant be verified or trusted.
