Marketing Pixie Miss Gemma Hentrich scam internet marketing services San Diego California
I worked with Marketing Pixie. The owner is the only person working in the company and she is a former ReachLocal employee. She has no idea about internet marketing. She claimed to be an expert but outsourced all of her services and did not follow up on anything. I had to go directly to the companies she was outsourcing to in order to get service. She would disappear for weeks at a time and then blame the outsourced company.
I found her outsourced companies to be great but like ReachLocal she marked up the service so much that my pay per click budget was gone before I started.
I was given no help and could not get my money back. What's worse is she has a full time job for a company offering the same services but in a different vertical. I found this out because she the outsourced company told me why she was unavailable during the day.
She has a terrible attitude problem. I paid good money and have zero to show for it.
Stay far, far away from this scam artist. She is an example of what ruins the internet marketing world and makes people like me not want to use these services.
Thanks for reading this and I hope you read this before it is too late. Gemma hentrich is an unethical person and is not even running a legal business. I checked with the state of California and she is not a registered businesss of any organizational type.

Fake Claim by S4T Group, Jason Teck
#2REBUTTAL Individual responds
Wed, May 28, 2014
Please note the date of this claim, days after I published numerous bad reviews about S4T Group that ripped me off when I worked for them. This complaint is fake and unvalidated. Marketing Pixie is not a business and has never claimed to be, it is just a personal brand clearly stated on the website. Checked LinkedIn for 30 written reviews and hundreds of endorsements for Gemma Hentrich, an ethical person that did give attitude to Jason Teck when he did not pay me as contracted. Do not trust the words of this scam artist himself.
Jason Teck, CEO of S4T Group is responsible for this fake claim. Here is the reason he wrote this claim:
Jason Teck is a very intelligent person with great industry knowledge and experience. I brought about 10 new clients to S4t Group as an independent contractor. During that time there were consistent concerns expressed to me from my clients and prospective clients regarding lack of follow up from Jason. He offered really great ideas over the phone then seemed to forget the details to execute what was promised. Jason was actually good with follow up if you took charge of reminding him. He consistently forgot to pay me on the promised dates as well. He did not do this maliciously but perhaps was overwhelmed or unorganized. Due to the consistent challenges with pay and customer client concerns, I chose to move to another company. I properly notified Jason and asked to become an affiliate and maintain my accounts. He agreed & all seemed to work out well. He gave me my final paycheck. Over the next couple weeks I sent emails to his Project Manager and sister, Daniel Teck asking for her help to try to save some unhappy accounts. They were not happy with Jason specifically. Apparently this upset Jason because he charged back my salary for nearly $4k via PayPal and I have not been paid any affiliate commissions as he promised. Unfortunately a lawsuit is the only hope. Be aware not to accept payment via PayPal for contracts like this. You will lose the dispute despite your contract. Jason paid via credit card and claimed he did not receive the service as promised. You have 45 days to dispute credit card charges. That is what protected the my salary from months before. He chose to charge back maliciously in my opinion. He had already paid me, thanked me and congratulated me on my new job. On top of this he has kept all of my clients, many of them friends. He has threatened me with a law suit saying I am in breach if I contact my own friends. I begged for him to do the right thing, he can keep the clients just give me the $4k back. He has not responded. Please also note this address is not an office but an agent will sign for documents there. There is no office, every person works from home. And the other reviews from Emily Rose Teck, Jason's wife. He does do some business with her.
