Scam Artist - Teleteria
 
Just wanted to post a message to anyone out there that is thinking of doing any work with a company based in NYC (and offices in CT) called Teleteria.

I've just had an experience with them where I signed up for a turnkey adult site, content feed and optional marketing plan. What I got in return was ABSOLUTE TRASH.

1. A piss poor web site layout that consisted of 9 tour pages, a confusing signup page and a multitude of banners that I couldn't replace (because owner of Teleteria kept putting them back on my site.

2. Content feed that has probably the worst quality videos I've ever seen.

3. We paid almost 900 dollars for a marketing plan that was never provided. After several e-mail and phone call attempts to get my money back, the owner of Teleteria told us that we'd never get our money back started screaming!

We've spent over 4000 dollars with this guy and his scam. We just pulled up stakes and proceeded to do the work ourselves, and get the site (that we redeveloped) elsewhere for 1/10 the price.

So for now.... Shame on me for being a fucking idiot and going along with Teleteria's scam. I just want to spread the word to anyone else that may be thinking of a fast/easy turnkey solution.

Stay away from these guys!!!!!

Samples? Links? Proof?

notjoe 02-21-2003 07:23 PM

if you want some high quality feeds for your new site drop me a line on icq at 5956902

disc0 02-21-2003 07:24 PM

The site is no longer up, so there are no links to it. The only proof I have are the e-mails from the owner.

Ironhorse 02-21-2003 07:26 PM

You paid 4 k and didn't get to keep site design?

disc0 02-21-2003 07:28 PM

We didn't want it. It was PUTRID.

Rich 02-21-2003 07:47 PM

All turnkey offers are crap, you shouldn't be suprised. It's not really a scam, more of just a shitty deal. Everyone should stear clear of any turnkey offers. :2 cents:

Rich that isnt always true, it depends on who you are dealing with.

lEricPl 02-21-2003 07:57 PM

haha....memories.

Back in 99 when I first got into the adult market I spent $2500.00 for a very shitty turnkey design and 300 pics. I think the company is out of business now.

I don't own any adult sites now though.

Live and Learn I guess.

disc0 02-21-2003 08:28 PM

Yeah,

This is a huge learning experience for me and my partners. I've got my lawyer on him next week. He can keep the money for his shitty site design and piss poor broken link content feeds. But I want the money back for the marketing that I never recieved.

Any advice?

Ok, 99.9% of them.

Juggernaut 02-21-2003 08:47 PM

Why did you pay the extra money for the marketing when you saw the site they designed for you, was shit?

disc0 02-21-2003 08:50 PM

Paid everything at the same time.

I know... I know....

smut4all 02-21-2003 09:44 PM

you should have contacted amp he'd give you a bad ass design for 4 k. damn, I'd give you an awsome design for that money

DrewKole 02-21-2003 10:06 PM

well when you get your new site ready, come here, and I'll gladly help ya try and recoup some of that cash.

disc0 02-22-2003 06:22 AM

Has anyone else heard of Teleteria?

Ironhorse 02-22-2003 07:12 AM

Well if it's these guys http://www.teleteria.com/ you went to the wrong place, they are clearly non-adult developers. Is this the site?

disc0 02-22-2003 07:23 AM

That's it. But for their shitty adult version, you'll have to go to http://teleteria.com/adult

Mr.Fiction 02-22-2003 07:24 AM

You should have come to GFY before you spent any money. Too late for that, though.

Now that you're here, don't focus on the $4000. Keep trying to get it back, but assume you've lost it forever.

Move forward. There is a lot of shit to learn if you want to succeed, so use your energy and time wisely.

Do you want to chase $4k or $4 million?

disc0 02-22-2003 07:46 AM

The grasshopper will listen ... oh wise master :-)

I agree.

I'll post to this one even though it is old.

All I have to say is go to YNOT masters right now and on the front page you will find everything you need to know about Teleteria.com or Teleteria.net.

I am a victim of Teleteria. I had a site which was: http://www.eroticxxxpress.com in which I do have the design work still.

Jay promised so many things and did not come through with them. He lied more and more each day and you can read the emails that he sent about calling me a__hole and telling me to grow the f__k up when I never swore at him or called him a single name.

I Kevin Cooper am going to bring Jay Servidio out of business and will dedicate my life to do so. YOu can read my posts there and I will be posting new ones here as well.

Teleteria is horrible. He ruined my life and I will now dedicate my life to take him out of business.

My site was pulled from him not because I owed money because I did not owe money but because he felt like it. I had 2 active subscribers at the time he pulled my site.

Anyone have a bad experience email me, I have all emails from him with threats and all.

Take care.

Kevin

The Wood 11-22-2003 09:30 AM

Buyer Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bottom line is: That he (Teleteria) is misrepresenting his products, been deceitful with his double standard 100% money back guarantee which seems to only apply we he feels he wants it to and it sure looks like it doesnt exist and has horrible customer service.
Have you heard of anybody out here saying he gave us our money back. Now that I have mentioned that I am sure we will see new mysteriuos post.
Getting right to the point I would be more than happy to complete my double standard contract with jay servidio if our sites were what he offered and I wouldnt be out here on these boards all pissed off, I have tried to be objective through this but loose sight in the contempt I have for this individual and his company.
I want my promised product or my money back.

I could always buy the 3 site shells with tour pages at a bargan rate in good faith and add my own content, but I dont think this will happen.
I would want all monies back for search engine submissions $1500.00 and hosting fees$900.00 plus my additional $2000.00
check we gave him ( Made out to Jay Servidio).
Marketing a site he offers with the best content and video's unmatched by other companies will only get alot of cargebacks.
I gave Jay my personal permission to post my sites with my personal entry codes and let everybody judge the best content and video's unmatched by other companies(he hasnt done this) and if and only if the veteran webmasters who we all know,(not somebody like kittytoobad that has no stats ). says this is very good and I was wrong then I will purchase our sites and I want a refund on searchengine submissions $1500.00 and hosting $900.00 as I will not do business with them at all!!!
I hope he post the sites, this could be an out for him as he claims this is the best content and video's.

Because it totally sucks to be ripped off like these guys were.

Fuck man, I got soaked for a few grand on a piece of shit turnkey site back when I first went online. I dont ever think about the money, but I'd love to throw those cocksuckers off a tall building, just for shits and giggles. I'd do fucking Mr Wizrd-like science experiments with them, too: drop one scumbag and an apple at the same time - see what goes SPLAT first.

I know, I know... goose frah bah, goose frah bah, goose frah bah

Anyway - just forget about it - you guys will spend way more cash in a lawsuit then you would recover. It'd be cheaper to pay a dude with a crooked nose to take a pipe to this guy's kneecaps. But we cant condone violence, so just try to find places where you can learn what needs to be done, un-fuck yourself, and get on with what you want to to.

No.

I sold the site shortly after and started focusing on IT/Programming/Management solutions.

There was just one problem in my master plan to become a porn king...TRAFFIC. :winkwink:

I'm happy with what I do now.

The Wood 11-22-2003 01:41 PM

MightchatdotTV

I know , I know he told us we needed these search engines to get submissions out fast to where they needed to be to direct alot of traffic our way-thus the big money and we would receive special training on other methods to direct traffic, does newbie ring a bell and thats what we are and trusted in his advice.
VERY BIG MISTAKE!!!!
We are getting a quick crash course in the industry.

You can find this fine out on YNOT MASTERS bad businessbureau.com and we are in the process of posting him in other areas. You will probably find more info on where other people have found teleteria
Got any ideas where we can have our voice heard?
I myself will never just move on without being sure I take some of his business and that is a promise.
I will be anywhere he is on the west coast as this is my turf and I will make it my mission to get the message out-thus no more big bucks for servidio/teleteria, besides I havent had a vacation in 6 years so I guess I will start.
Anyone know of shows he attends out west? Sure hope he comes to Phoenix.

probably because if teleteria is screwing people around, wouldnt you want to warn your friends and bring it out in the open??

We have to stick together when it comes to companies like this who act in such an inresponsible way.

teleteriasucks 11-23-2003 01:19 AM

Hey guys, you know what the worst thing is about this?

Not about getting your money back
Not about sueing him.

It's that he is sitting back rubbing his hands together laughing. He thinks he is The Porn God.

He raves about how he has the most clients. My god, he doesn't treat them right so I can't believe that and if this was true he would form an alliance and have all of them post. All I see are a few on YNOT that post that he is probably paying for.

Anyway, he made a comment to me more than once. "Nobody knows this business better than him" Nobody.

He makes people feel like a peon.

Well updated news. I have filed the necessary documents to Chase Manhatted at 2 p.m. today and they are going to go and retrieve my refund but....I won't stop. I want his business deterred and I will do this as much as possible without breaking the law.

So Jay, wake up buddy.....3k is coming out of your bank bro. YOu will have to find someone else to try and take their money like you do everyone else.

Your business is going to take a hit but you don't care, as you told me, "I can't wait for the press, I could use it"

YOur all about PR man, not your customers. Grow up.

Teleteria E-Mails

The Wood 11-23-2003 10:25 AM

Hey guys

Boy have I heard that statement before about how nobody knows the business better than Teleteria and TRUST me and I can assure you.
Beleive me If he wants this PR then he can Have it. I dont see how bad PR will benifit him at all as bad PR will ruin a company.
Happy & return clients is the key to a successful company.
I have offered jay to please put the 3 professional sites with entry codes on the boards for free entry for all of you to be the judge but he wont.

So here you go
hotsexbitch.com Entrycode(2619745)
livewebcampussy.com Entrycode(pass234)
xxxadultshow.com Entrycode(pass123)

These may not work because of IP link.

You know what is even worse, we found out last night that we did not even own the domain names. Jay servidio told us that we own 100% of the site, this statement was on his web site when we signed on and I remember it being under FAQ/custom turn key sites and now I cannot find it anywhere, I thought I was going crazy untill tripple nipple told me she had seen it there and that was one of the reasons we went with teleteria and that he offered a money back guarantee if we were not satisfied, we thought how can we loose with this.
Note: His home page changed in the last 3 weeks and now FAQ page will not come up/ I thinks some changes are going on to protect himself, I may be wrong but things have been changed /maybe there just updating the site ha ha!

With all 3 sites registered in Teleteria's name then we have bought some artwork worth about $3000.00 maybe less, thats like buying a new home and when the big day comes and you enter there are no walls, toilets ,sinks ect. just an empty shell.

This Jay Servidio/Teleteria is a real peice of work.

Learning from your mistakes takes money, get over ite! You'll be fine:thumbsup

doober 11-23-2003 11:03 AM

teletaria sucks,

i went to chekc ut this site you posted earlier http://www.eroticxxxpress.com/

first off i want to say that it sucks real bad that a few peole are getting burnt by these g0atfuckers but you guys are putting trust spending good money on a terrible service provided by unexpereinced con artists...

now back to the site, I notice that on the join page the corp listed is teleteria.com....this is already a problem...
how will you ever get paid for sales if the checks are made out to his corp and you arent even registered with ibill?
second i closed that window and got a very nasty site pop up on me that im sure you aint getting credit for and if that site belongs to you you should have your head checked...
the site in question is http://www.headwound.com/
not only is disgusting and extremely offensive ala rotten.com style but its being popped on exit from a porn site....wtf??

my thinking is i want to wank when im on ibill's join page trying to get access not look at gross pics of god knows what disgusting shit they have inside that site

after i close that i get another popup http://totalbondage.com/
which i dont even spend more than 1 minute on until i close my browser again and I get http://www.myaheaven.com/ at which point i close my browser again and get popped with http://touchmypussy.com/ and i also close that up because enough is enough...

not only are the tours very very bad, the content used on them is even worse...i haven seen pics that grainy since, i cant even remember ever seeing such low quality crap even worse its used on the tour where the best images should used to entice surfers to signup.

people paid teleteria to build sites for them, then they just leave them there trying to figure out how to promote them.
they are processing for you in essence since you arent registered with ibill. and all the sites that popped were exactly the same shitty style and were all listed as teleteria.com with ibill.

It as if your paying them to build sites for themselves and they get to keep all the exits of your site which is almost 100% guranteed to never make a sale anyway and they get paid for it all.

Im sorry for all your losses, i think all you can do at this point is cough it up as a loss and get on with it.
Start reading and get some real designers buy some real content, that is all you can do without wasting way too much time on something that is most likely dead in the water.
These guys knew they were fucking you and prolly have 0 intention of reimburisng anyone that complains.

looks like they areout to grab as much as possible

The Wood 11-24-2003 06:38 AM

GOOOOOD morning Teleteria


Well its a new week and we shall see just what will happen this week regarding Mr.Servidio and the infamas Teleteria.

Thanss for your imput as it seems to be a endless battle and we will keep up the fight until we get our money back.

I have $2900.00 left and will be regrouping and starting over as we plan to be in the industry for along time and have a pretty good idea who will be designing our new site(s).

Two easy steps to ruining their day:


1). Call the FTC and report them

2). Call the BBB and report them

2 steps = ruined

I have heard the same - for years people complain about them, but no one either remembers or does anything. I see them at the show, and people still fall for what they are doing.

Still cant believe that its a surprise to anyone - its like someone saying - Who's Acacia?? Is everyone a newbie?

The Wood 11-28-2003 11:19 AM

I am just hoping that we get our money back , and do appreciate the leads, aswe are going to contact all authorties in hopes they will help with getting the money back and if people are doing the correct research then they will see reports and maybe move on.

It seems their name appears everywhere and it always seems to be negative.

Well we have learned a lesson and a hard one at that.

Someone mentioned the other day that emails were going unanswered and they couldn't get in touch. I just put in a request for someone to contact me and heard back within 10 minutes.

I wrote back with a link to this thread. Anyone think that we'll see a response?

The Wood 12-02-2003 02:46 PM

I was just out on YNOT and there are new posts and Teleteria has really done it this time to the tune of 45,000 plus. and more lawsuits coming.
It is time to do something together about this company and it needs to be done soon!

NO ONE should do business with TELETERIA!!!!!!!!!!
