Complaint Review: Ricardo "Rico" Baez Marketing and Advertising - Roselle New Jersey

PLEASE READ in its ENTIRETY

It is in fact true; Ricardo "Rico" Baez is fraudulent and since 2001 he has honed in on his elaborate schemes to scam small business owners.  I worked for Ricardo Baez and shortly after began an internal investigation of the company and his actions.  I learned of his fraudulent dealings including but not limited to: Tax Evasion, Fraud, Money Laundering, Failure to Provide Services, Breach of Contracts and more.  

The BBB.org does not have a list of advertisers because Ricardo Baez and his "companies" have never been accredited.  Although the list of business's whom have been scammed date back to 2001, maybe even further back. 

Ricardo "Rico" Baez has had to create different company names over the years to avoid detection.  These names are as follows: 

RISING IMPORT XPLOSION - (RIXMAG.com) - Car Shows

QSI Media - (QSImedia.com) - Computer Repairs, Advertising, Marketing

RIX Entertainment Magazine - (RIXMAG.com) - Car Shows, Advertising, Marketing

Glitz and Glam - (RIXMAG.com) - Night Life, Clubs and Parties

Independent Media Group | iMG - (IMGontheweb.com) - Advertising & Marketing

FACT: Advertisers and readers beware Ricardo "RICO" Baez is a fraud that will empty your wallets and close your business.

iMG is Ricardo "Rico" Baez's most latest reopened endeavor as of November 2013.  He claims to specialize in Marketing and Advertising, where he will be able to brand your business and increase sales through print marketing as business cards, flyers, postcards, ads; commercial videos for TV, social media; website creation, trade show management, door to door sales and more.  He will engage in a speech aimed to paint a picture of his idea for your company but fails to execute on services (Breach of Contract - Legal).  He will have you pay out checks directly under his personal name (Tax Evasion - Legal) because after research, it has been found that Independent Media Group does not exist (Fraud - Legal).  

Additionally, he has never been able to provide "Performance Reports" showing that his marketing tactics have any effect and/or increases sales for your company.  But it is easy to see that his marketing tactics do have a negative effect on your company's finances.

FACT: People who work there all lie daily. Open your eyes and ears son!

On the matter of people whom have or currently do work for him.  Ricardo "Rico" Baez continues his schemes by searching for young and ambitions individuals where he can manipulate through his words.  He will promise you the world through the experience you will gain but will look for all and any reason as to why you do not deserve payment for the services you would provide to him.  He will use you to become "UNJUSTLY ENRICHED - Legal".  He loves verbal contracts so that when things go wrong, you will have no proof of compensation requirements.  All who have worked for him can attest to being ripped off.

FACT:  Perception is KEY

Ricardo "Rico" Baez is an incredible smooth talker.  But have him put PEN to PAPER and you will see his words are all he has.  He will take your money and utilize it to continue improving his image in terms of purchasing fancy clothing and apparel to give off a professional image; plastic surgery to alter his image and figure; and vehicles/electronics to appear as if he knows what he is doing.

I am sure that after his most recent endeavor with "IMG" and the many he has recently scammed, he will have a difficult time recovering from the blow as his clients have placed lawsuits against him for the "Legal's" listed above.  Just as before he will go into hiding for a few years just as he did when he walked away from RIX Magazine for the same reasons.  But he will eventually come back out of hiding and continue to scam people.  Don't hold it against; this is just all he knows. 

I urge any business's and individuals whom he has scammed to add to this post and file complaints with the Better Business Bureau @ bbb.org. You may also like to report him to the Attorney General's Office of Consumer Affairs @ 973-504-6200.
