Web Development

Tagg Ryan, Ryan McTaggart and Pierre Joseph at Paradise Vibe Marketing seem to have found a way to cut labor costs down by 99 percent when it comes to designing their web pages.

The technique is pretty simple. Run free ads on Craigs list, on the ASU employment site and at junior college campuses across the Phoenix metro area looking for computer programmers and web masters.

Then you hire anybody and everybody that replies to the ads. Let them work for two weeks and then screw them out of their wages.

If you have been screwed by the folks at PVM Studios, PVM Radio and Paradise Vibe Marketing please leave a message here telling you how they screwed you.

Private messages will be passed along to the Tempe Police, Mesa Police, Arizona Attorney General, FBI and IRS.

And any public messages will be displayed at this web site so the world will know how the folks at Paradise Vibe Marketing screwed you.

PVM Studios is located in Mesa, just north of Broadway and just east of Alma School. Their address is

325 S Westwood
Mesa Arizona, 85210

800-518-8312
480-844-0770

info@pvmstudios.com

Tagg Ryan who also uses the name Ryan McTaggart lives in the offices. We are not sure about all the alias Tag Ryan, Tagg Ryan and Ryan McTaggart uses.

Been screwed out of your wages by Paradise Vibe Marketing? Lots of other people have.

Check out these other links

Are the Phoenix Suns part of this criminal enterprise? Are the Arizona Cardinals part of this flim flam operation? Are the Phoenix Coyotes part of this con game?

We don't really know?

Tagg Ryan, Ryan McTaggart or whatever name he is currently using likes to brag that the Phoenix Suns, Arizona Cardinal and Phoenix Coyotes are working in a partnership with PVM Marketing which will make it's employees millions of dollars.

We suspect his is mostly BS.

§One Bad Relationship
by Doc Girl
Tue, Mar 20, 2012 10:41AM
As a growing business, we foster creative ideas and welcome all varieties of talent. Occasionally in the business world, unpleasant interactions and partnerships can be made. Unfortunately, Paradise Vibe Marketing fell victim to such an interaction.

At one point last year PVM came into contact with an individual named Mike DiRossi. Mr. DiRossi was contracted to develop web specific material for PVM during an agreed amount of time. Most disappointingly, the work was not completed within the arranged time-frame. Mr. DiRossi demanded full payment, without completion of work anyway. Mr DiRossi was paid an equitable amount for the incomplete work and was asked to not take further employment with Paradise Vibe Marketing LLC. In unjustified anger, Mr. DiRossi has spread vicious rumors and lies about PVM and attacked the entire staffs’ motives and characters. Slanderous comments and demeaning photos have been placed on various websites, including this article on INDYBAY.ORG abusing former staff and disgusting comments have been made in an effort to shatter the integrity the studio.

As an employee of PVM and it's subsidiaries, I have never had a problem with my paycheck and I have enjoyed working with everyone here.

§Paradise Vibe is Now Negnu Network: Con Man Pierre P. Joseph is Guilty of Tax Evasion
by Cheated Programmer
Sat, May 12, 2012 10:55AM
Negnu Network used to be Paradise Vibe Studios. They had to change their name because a former unpaid employee created an accurate report for the internet that identified Pierre P. Joseph as a con man.

Negnu Network does not have a functioning website but that has not stopped them from hiring employees on a "contract" basis. Negnu Network brings on all employees on two week trials and pays them little over $300 a week for highly skilled positions. Negnu writes in the contract that if you do "unsatisfactory work" that the employee forfeits payment. Most people hired on a two week trial are not kept past that period. The company has not paid a significant portion of the people they hire on a two week period. Pierre P. Joseph also hand writes checks and you have to beg him on payday to be paid. The owner is unprofessional, smokes pot in the office and while driving, does no work, uses the company as a way of luring women and models to the office, and clearly knows nothing about labor laws or the IRS.

Negnu Network does not deduct taxes from any employees check and does not require that the employees fill out a W-4 or W-9. Pierre P. Joseph apparently doesn't know the difference between an independent contractor and employee. Everyone that works there must report to the office, signin and out, use their computers etc. The company treats everyone as an employee, which means Negnu is not paying state or federal payroll taxes, is not contributing to the employees social security and is generally guilty of tax evasion.

Beware of being lured in by this company. Not only will you not get paid but the owner (when he doesn't do pot) will scream at you and make it seem like you are the reason for the business not being successful.

Negnu also has no real clients. The company was founded when Pierre P. Joseph cashed in his Intel stock. The owner funds the business and has been unable to generate real revenue. The money that is earned is cash and under the table, which means Negnu is also not paying their regular taxes.

§I too was victim to PVM
by Vladimir
Mon, Apr 14, 2014 5:16AM
I replied to a Craigslist ad that ultimately led back to the individuals listed.

Not included in this expose are the following facts:

- I observed drug use on site by Tagg Ryan.

- I observed sexual activity on site between both Samiyya / Abdul and Samiyya / Pierre.

- I was not paid for services rendered either. The reason in my case was that the client changed the job specs after delivery was made and then disputed the original job specs.

§Negnu and PVM - Dont get screwed
by Tired of Joseph
Thu, Jun 26, 2014 1:40PM
Negnu is at it again. Simply look at the Arizona Industrial Commission judgements against Negnu and the case is clear. These dont even include the pile of one week employees that just gave up. On payday, the owner ( I would not give him the distinction of CEO ) will vanish, leaving people at the office in hopes he will come back with payroll. Its a roll of the dice. Frequently he calls and decides after the fact the employees do not deserve the compensation, and requires them to come meet with him days later. He never shows up for these meetings. If you are lucky to pin him down, it becomes a negotiation where he chews you down on hours, reduces pay based on performance, etc. Hungry people walk with what they can get. He even writes policies that state if you fail to meet, whatever standard he wants that week, you must forfiet all your pay. His latest scam is to deduct payroll taxes (he was making everyone a 10-99 regardless of the legality) so he gets to pay even less. Problem, he doesnt pay those taxes taken out of the employees check or his matching obligations. He issues no W2. If you worked there in 2013, you have no taxes paid on your behalf. He just kept your money.

by Most recent victim
Wed, Jan 7, 2015 12:06PM
This Con Man, Pierre P. Joseph - Paradise Vibe Marketing - Negnu Network and is now SETJOO. They are all the same crooks, have evolved to a professional scam artists. Their scheme is to get people to work for them and find a reason to forfeiting payroll. It's the same thing happened for small business doing work for them like radio host, film maker, video editing artist, handy man, cleaning service, IT, rental, software company, advertise company... I know there's an IT guy with a green shirt, I have met him briefly while back and was told SETJOO not paying him for the IT service and it was lot of money. I want to talk to him if I know his number. Negnu and now is SETJOO scam me out my 2 pay checks, they even took out my taxes without reporting to IRS, I always get paid late with bad checks and was cheat on my hours. The business is seem closed, I have no way to contact this guy. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMAPNY, it runs by a Con Man, Pierre P. Joseph and his associates.

§Conned as always
by just another victim
Mon, Jun 1, 2015 6:02PM
His name was robert moses. He was trying to turn it into a real business while pierre was dicking around with smoking weed in his office and the rest of that sort. Every time Robert had someone interested in actually bringing some revenue into the place Pierre would turn around and force him to push the clients away. Who knows but from what i i know Pierre still hasn't paid him and probably dosent plan too. Oh and on top of that he had a bunch of models go in there and I dont belive any of them got the pictures.
