Why Don't We Get Sued? Because...

Why aren't we being sued? Because...from Krubinski vs Schmutzer-"truth is a complete defense against liability for defamation, regardless of bad faith or malicious purpose."

Deck tech's Owner Has a Lot To Lose; Working While On a Suspended License is A BIG Risk

Ron McKenna's bet is he can work with a suspended license without getting caught. 

DeckTech Inc has had a suspended license now for a week. 

Since last Monday when after a last minute attempt in court to stay a probationary license status, it backfired and without a required disciplinary bond ready to place with CSLB, their license was promptly suspended and remains so. Click here to check current status. 

DeckTech's owner Ron McKenna is thumbing his nose at the CSLB suspension however, having been found  working at two jobs thanks to tips from the public. One tip alerted us to their job in Pismo Beach in the tony "The Bluffs HOA" on Bluff Dr. 

Thanks to their sign, it's pretty clear who's job this is. By law no work can be performed, bid on, or employees be on a job. 

DeckTech Inc is working on a project at The Bluffs in Pismo Beach. Not for long.

Why You Can't Trust DeckTech Inc (Or Yelp) (Or Scorpion Internet Marketing)

 Review at Yelp Gives 5 Stars to DeckTech, But...
Reviewer Kelly Carpenter Works for DeckTech's Web Design Firm
Ethical Boundaries Crossed? 

Oops they did it again...got caught that is. DeckTech Inc continues to prove they are not trustworthy. So does Yelp by the way. DeckTech has a five star rating on their Yelp! page which would give consumers a better feeling that they are a good company to have working for you. 

Well in checking the reviewers out, we found Kelly C, or Kelly Carpenter as we found her name was on Decktech's Google page with the same fake review as below.

Kelly Carpenter's review at Yelp gives five stars, but this is a fake review. 
Turns out Kelly Carpenter works for DeckTech's Internet website and seo company Scorpion Internet Marketing. I found Kelly easily enough at LinkedIn where holy shit she is a senior internet marketing manager, working on boosting up clients rankings on Google and other search engines
Here's Kelly in her glamour shot, working for Scorpion. Note their logo on the upper left.


Here's Scorpion's logo on the bottom of DeckTech's web page. 
This leads one to ask can you trust DeckTech with your project of they'll lie about their Yelp reviews? Can you trust Yelp for honest reviews? 

If the answer is no, I think you'll have made a smart decision.

UPDATED 5 2 17
Yelp has removed the review by Kelly Carpenter from Deck tech's page for violating Yelp's policies.
Removed for violating Yelp's policies. Tell you a lot about Scorpion doesn't it? And about Deck Tech' as well because they know it's a fake review too. 

Update-the two reviews I reported of Brett's have been removed for the same reason-violating Yelp's policies on writing reviews.

Continuing on I saw some pics posted by a "Brett P" on DeckTech's site. So I searched him down. Brett "Pipes" Piper also works for Scorpion and wrote at least 2 fake reviews for Scorpion clients.

I sent this message to Scorpion asking if writing fake reviews is standard operating procedure.
