There are many dark sides to commerce, but one of the most damaging elements of the internet for many lies in its shades of grey. It can be almost impossible to tell legitimate businesses from fake ones, as the fakes have gotten very good at presenting themselves well online. Rip Off Report is a website aimed at exposing the fakes and helping people take action if they have been wronged by these companies. The site has just published a new report on Best Price Evaluations, accusing them of Medical Marijuana Doctor Fraud.

In their research, they have discovered that over 50% of the medical marijuana doctors’ offices that are opened in California are fraudulently run and need to be investigated. Best Price Evaluations is the first of these that the site has tackled head on.

The owners of this corporation are Gregory Hamilton and Inga Gefter. They own a fraudulent medical marijuana doctor’s office that prescribes fake marijuana recommendations to its patients. So far they have issued over 300,000 fake recommendations to patients and collected over $4,000,000 via these fraudulent methods. 

They hire physician assistants, when the law clearly states that the marijuana recommendations have to be issued by a licensed physician.  The law also states that it is illegal to employ doctors unless you are a doctor yourself. This creates an illegally owned corporation run by unqualified people who hire fake doctors.

Best Price Evaluations processes many of these requests through its website at bestpriceevaluations.com. If any patient who gets arrested with one of these fake recommendations, they will go to jail because it will not hold up in court.

A spokesperson for Rip Off Report explained, “There are people out there right now who don’t realise they have been scammed and are at risk of being imprisoned all because this company is hiding the way they do things. We want to shed light on this rip off and ensure the media knows the names of those involved, so we can begin to see justice being done.”

About Rip Off Report:

Rip Off Report expose fraudulent companies in order to help the people get their money back for paying for fake services. The site allows people to be armed with the opinions, comments and experiences of others like them so they can determine for themselves if they want to do business with certain listed companies or individuals.

Once we receive a person’s enquiry, our team goes to work on finding quotes for their ideal policy, analysing numerous insurers to locate a good match.

NEW YORK, New York – February 3, 2016 – Stage Caption, a new way to bring captioning to live theatrical productions, was recently announced. With this low-cost system, captioning and other accessibility features for live theatrical performances are displayed on personal handheld, electronic devices. It is an experimental captioning system using handheld devices, beginning with iPads and Android tablets, to display SDH (subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing) for scripted live performances. This will also have the potential to be used for translation, visual aid, and assisted listening. They’ll start with existing equipment and software to put their system together, Mac Mini computers, Qlab software, iOS and Android tablets, and other required audio, video, and control interfaces. 

Stage Caption is raising the bar on requirements for accessibility in the entertainment industry. While many cinemas and even some theatres have captioning systems, they need to become more widespread. Qlab is a widely used Mac software in the entertainment industry for sound effects and recorded music playback. It is also used for video and graphics. Many theatres already own much of the equipment needed to make the system work. The hope is that using a program that is already familiar and comfortable for theatrical technicians will help Stage Caption’s system be adopted more readily. However, before people can enjoy this incredible, live-theatrical captioning system, Stage Caption needs help. That’s why they launched this Kickstarter campaign. The goal of this project is to raise $5,000 by February 29, 2016. The funds raised will go towards ordering equipment, assembling the system, software licenses, and other costs.

To help bring this innovative technology to market, please visit the Kickstarter campaign or click here. Perks will be delivered between March 2016 and July 2016.

Skopelos, Greece – On January 20, 2016, Jill Somer launched a Kickstarter Campaign for the Skopelos International Film Festival for Youth (SIFFY), a film festival for the children of Greece, in order to give them an additional educational opportunity in a time of deep crisis. 

This is the sixth year that the festival is in operation. Films have been screened in China, England, S. Korea, Spain and prominent festivals in the United States and have won several awards. Greek children have traveled to S. Korea, Spain and the United States to participate in the festivals. 

Each year the festival covers different topics pertaining to Greece. This year we will be covering the sea and how vital it has been to the economics of Skopelos. It is an important topic because currently so many Greeks have immigrated to other countries due to the crisis.

How it works is simple- Ten or more filmmakers are invited to work with approximately 60 children (6 – 8 children per filmmaker) for five days to create short films from start to finish. The films are then screened at the Orpheus Cinema in downtown Skopelos to an audience of about 600 people. Afterwards the films are sent to festivals throughout the world.

Jill Somer, an American who has lived in Skopelos for 15 years and was married to a Greek man who suddenly passed away less than two years ago, and has a nine year old child Zoe, is also the Associate Director of The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts www.skopartfoundation.org

The Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) and the Board of Directors feel very strongly that the Foundation does what it can to support the local community.

The more money the festival can raise, the more filmmakers they can invite which means more children can participate. In 2015, eighty children participated and they created 12 films. The budget was close to $10,000 which paid for the filmmakers travel from Athens to Skopelos, housing, food and a tour of the island.

Los Angeles, CA – Nichelle Nichols, “Uhura” in Star Trek, is now the official spokesperson for Project Enterprise – the rebuilding of the original USS Enterprise by the Hollywood team who created her for “Star Trek – The Motion Picture” in 1979. 

“The Starship Enterprise is THE most renowned, recognized, and loved movie icon in the history of film and she deserves to be reborn while we’re still alive and kicking to do it, as we alone possess the provenance to recreate her,” said Paul Olsen, “The millions of fans around the world have kept Star Trek alive through their devotion and love, and this is their unique chance to again play a part in rebuilding the USS Enterprise.”

The original iconic model – used in the first 6 Star Trek films – succumbed to mishandling, respraying, and finally disappeared, crippled, into private hands in 2006, so she will never be seen again by devoted fans or appear in another Star Trek film. This is a cinematic travesty for this most recognized movie icon in the history of American popular culture.

Richard Winn Taylor who designed the Enterprise, Jim Dow who built her, and Paul Olsen who gave her a pearl ball gown (author of “Creating the Enterprise”) are determined to return their Enterprise to her rightful place in the Galaxy so she may live long and prosper as she boldly goes, traveling planet Earth for the joy of her tens of millions of fans.

The team plan to raise enough money to kit out a dedicated, secure LA facility to handcraft a new Starship Enterprise that will be 50% larger and 200% more beautiful than their original 8-foot model.

The new Enterprise will be 12 feet long and will be displayed in a spectacular spherical 3D state-of-the-art LED virtual reality environment with projection mapping designed by award-winning FX master Richard Winn Taylor so the ‘flying’ Enterprise will appear to be racing through time and space to dazzle her fans. The team will employ the illusory magic of one of Hollywood’s master magicians to complete the spectacle and to return the magnificent Enterprise where she belongs, into the arms and hearts of her ardent and adoring fans the world over. 

Every aspect of the ship will be designed and built exactly as in 1979, only employing the most modern techniques and materials to last well into the 24th century, and in the manner of everything Star Trek, the fans will be central to the experience.

The Project will take 18-20 months to complete, during which a documentary directed by Richard will catalog every step of the process. Towards the end of the build A-list actors and directors will drop by to see the Queen of the Galaxy up close and personal, adding their stardust to the proceedings.

Upon completion, Nichelle Nichols will unveil the Starship Enterprise at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Star Trek fans want to see models again on the Big Screen. Paul has created a timeline that takes off from his favorite fourth movie, “The Voyage Home” and written a rollicking script featuring their new Enterprise with classic and new characters and sequel potential.

Fans can donate towards the project at www.projectenterprise.space and are offered a wealth of exclusive premiums. Top tier contributors will be given tours of the workshop, lifetime VIP entry to any event where the Enterprise is displayed, meet and greets, every premium, dinner with the team and other exclusive perks.

Paul says, “If you want to see the Enterprise in person, and again on the Big Screen, support Project Enterprise and we can make this happen in the best tradition of Star Trek!”

LONDON, UK – Do we really need to throw away our favourite sets of pens once they run out? Can there not be a way to make a set of pens useful and playful even when not used for colouring or writing? These are the questions the design team answered with the concept of Magnetips. The idea behind this innovative product came from a love of colouring, good design, and the desire to de-clutter the work space.  

Product designer, Noam Bar Yohai has teamed up with graphic artist and illustrator Jo Hill, to design this magnetic fine liner set. The idea was not only to design high grade refillable colouring pens for their artistic pursuits, but also be able to keep them in one confined spot, reduce clutter on the work top, and minimise waste. These pens are and refillable and are purposefully designed to last.

Each of the fine liners has 2 Neodymium magnets fixed in their shell, making them attract one another and to most metal objects, allowing nearly unlimited options for how the pens can be stored or presented. The pens contain high quality, fine line refill and can be used for colouring, design sketching, or just writing beautiful prose. The basic set includes 20 pens in a palette carefully curated by the team.

The Kickstarter campaign is using the “pre-order” rewards model, enabling backers to support the project and help raise funds for the first production batch. Two editions will be produced primarily – black or colour shelled pens, with an early bird price of as low as $29 per set. Additional refill sets are also offered as an Add-on to the main pledge.

Perks al  so include metal balls, which vastly expand the amount of structures that can be made with the pens, making the set a playful item and expand it’s use far beyond that of a normal set of colouring pens.

“We had so much fun with this project,” explains Noam. “the pens kept presenting new possibilities to us, almost having a life of their own. From wearing them on our wrists, to decorating our lamps – you name it, we probably built it with these guys. We hope people will enjoy them as much as we do.”

Denver, CO – On January 21 2016, Verdict Studios LLC launched a Kickstarter campaign for Colony 42, a new immersive indie horror game to be released on Steam Greenlight.

“Colony 42 is a First-Person Horror Survival Game designed to work on a psychological level and traditional horror level. Colony 42 is aimed to scare in both big ways and subtle ways,” says the creator, “In this game, the ambience will serve as an accomplice to scares and as a way of keeping you on your toes when you’re not facing down an enemy.” 

Alone, lost and forgotten. You tread the dusty ruins of a deserted, city-sized Nuclear Bunker in search of freedom… You are Dr. J. Donovan, a genius biological scientist hired by the government to work on a project known only as Project: Winter. But months into development, the virus mutated beyond expectation and broke free.

The team at Verdict Studios is working hard to create AI mechanics that will cause the player to use the environment carefully and logically, with interesting and complex environments that scream for you to explore them in greater detail and across multiple play-throughs. There’s a lot of secrets throughout these levels so keep an eye out!

In order to successfully release the Steam Greenlight version of this game, the team is looking to raise at least $10,000 by February 20, 2016. An Xbox One edition and a PlayStation 4 edition will be made available if stretch goals are met.

“We’ve been planning this game for some time,” the team explains, “Currently we have a playable Alpha stage where we can explore the first level and beginnings of game mechanics. This section of the game can be explored in the Demo, but we’re still in need of a lot more help and assets to fully realize the game.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a digital copy of the game and an exclusive poster for $20, two hard copies of the game and the chance to design an in-game company for the Colony 42 marketplace district for $50, and more! Backers can also pledge $100 for a limited Doctor Edition or Winter Edition copy of the game with exclusive 3D printed statues, the game’s original soundtrack, a hard copy of the game and an exclusive Doctors Journal.

Wadsworth, OH – A Kickstarter to fund the production of a new type of monster film, titled “Boggy Creek Monster” is underway. The Kickstarter campaign had reached a third of its funding goal in just 12 hours and 60% in just 24 off with support from nearly 70 backers. Reactions to the announcement of the film have been wildly supportive.

The documentary will focus on the 1971 horror classic, Legend of Boggy Creek, and the true stories that inspired it, and will be filmed in Fouke, Arkansas in partnership with author and television personality, Lyle Blackburn. The titular monster became the subject of nationwide interest after a rash of sightings of a hair-covered beast rocked the tiny town of Fouke in the late 60s and early 70s.

A Kickstarter campaign is a form of crowdfunding in which people are welcomed to purchase various “rewards” with the monetary amount given going toward the production of the film. In this case the rewards include apparel, a one-of-a-kind poster (designed by artist Sam Shearon) featuring the Boggy Creek Monster himself, a Kickstarter exclusive hoodie (based on Shearon’s design) and a chance to see the second film in the Small Town Monsters’ series, Beast of Whitehall, a full month before its official release on April 1^st.

The Small Town Monsters’ films are unique in that they are independently funded and produced. Director, Seth Breedlove, a 34 year old investigative journalist, has been honing his craft as a documentarian since his first film; Minerva Monster debuted to much acclaim. His partner on the Small Town Monsters’ series, Brandon Dalo (26) also acts as the composer of the scores used in the movies.

A trailer for the Kickstarter is available here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMAvb3kEJM4

The crew has been spotlighted on national television, major radio shows, and the Animal Planet website. Seth and Brandon are available for interviews and talks. Contact information listed below.

Foothill Ranch, California – February 3, 2016 – Springboard Equity, Inc, today announced that ZALEA, an innovative start-up that addresses the needs of the growing cosmetic and aesthetic treatments industry by bringing web and mobile applications to the masses, has launched on the Springboard Equity fundraising platform. 

ZALEA’s mission is to bring transparency to cosmetic treatments through social commerce, delivering engaging content that trumps what currently exists in the industry. Featuring expert commentary by doctors and social feedback from customers and industry enthusiasts, ZALEA brings greater clarity to the industry, while making it easier for consumers to navigate this otherwise complex and often confusing marketplace. 

The company has already completed funding of its $2MM Series A investment round through a network of “power investors,” savvy industry experts who are confident that the company will be the leader in this space. The current round launching on Springboard is for ZALEA’s Series B raise of $600K, which is expected to sell out quickly. 

“We’re very excited to support Lou Scafuri in the launch of ZALEA’s fundraiser,” Lyle Martin, chief executive officer of Springboard Equity, said. “The industry experience of the executive team, investors and advisors is very promising for strong financial returns.”

Martin added, “We are featuring ZALEA in a live 30-minute Shark Tank-style pitch webinar on February 18th at Noon (PST), and expect a full audience to attend. This deal is slated to fund very quickly.”

ZALEA to become the trusted voice for the Global Cosmetics and Aesthetic Treatment Industry 

The cosmetics industry has not seen the type of transformation with social commerce in the way the restaurant industry has with Yelp or the home improvement industry with Houzz. As a result, ZALEA presents an untapped opportunity for both investors and people seeking cosmetic treatments. 

“While most industries have already experienced a modern growth in transparency through social commerce and online services, the aesthetic and anti-aging industry remains virtually untapped,” Lou Scafuri, founder and chief executive officer of ZALEA, said. “We’re bringing together the brick and mortar world of cosmetic service providers into an online, social community that amplifies transparency, improves product and provider selection, and drives business through social-proof, community discussions and consumer incentives.” 

Springboard selectively vets the companies it works with on its funding platform. ZALEA made the cut due to its strong potential, backed by existing funding success, a solid business plan and opportunity, and the powerful team of industry leaders that are running the company at all levels.

ZALEA has partnerships with such leading organizations as The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Concentrekgroup.com and Webadvanced.com
