Here We Go Again! (More on Phenocal, Synetgy LLC & Craig Schwartz)

Well, looks like Craig Schwartz from Golden State Media, legal eagle and representative of Synetgy LLC (makers of Phenocal) is back at it again. If you’re not up to speed on the story, Craig and the good folks over at Synetgy LLC don’t like our review of their Phenocal product, and are doing their best to suppress it, by threatening us with bogus lawsuits.

You can catch up on the story here and here!

Anyhow, on Wednesday, December 4th, Craig was back to threatening us again. Here’s the note the sent to me, our web host (kudos once again to Quinn and the folks at Qwk web hosting for standing by us through all of this) and to our old registrar…

To whom it may concern

My name is Craig Schwartz and I am duly authorized to act on behalf of Synetgy LLC, DBA who owns the “Phenocal” trademark.

The type & way http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/phenocal-fat-burner-review.html has followed to represent information regarding Phenocal is not good. It is affecting the brand value of Phenocal and misleading visitors.

On the page http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/phenocal-fat-burner-review.html the website is directly promoting affiliate products
The website is trying to use the online brand value of Phenocal to sell their affiliate product which is not a good practice.

Unfortunately, at this point, it looks like Craig and the good folks over at Synetgy LLC aren’t ever going to “get it” and stop pestering us.

So this week, I have connected with our legal representation. Yes, I am handing this over to our lawyer now.

More details to come as warranted.

  1. Keep fighting the good fight, these people are nothing but bullies who are trying to deflect from their useless products.
    Have they never heard of freedom of speech?
    I also like how he tries to make out he’s a lawyer or something when he’s just a lapdog for his masters. Had to laugh at his email legal@….. who is he trying to kid?

      I wrote something very similar in an e-mail to Paul back in September, when this first surfaced. Great minds and all that. 😉
