Javelin Marketing... aka... NOT anything to do with Larry Klein

Larry sucks at hiding his fake Harvard MBA... and why isn't he in jail yet?

8am - The girls in customer service finally start answering the phone (too many cursing customers yesterday), apparently the phone rings non-stop from NF customers who have received an e-mail from Brian Williams.

Morning - Calls are coming into to the sales line at Javelin but they are mostly from pissed of NF people

Jason Perry sees the YouTube video & "...turns ghost white...".

Barry Beasley comes in the office, he is already mad because bill collectors from NF were calling him at his home last night :) [Barry is SUCH a jerk, I loved hearing that one]

Jason & Barry hold a "damage control" meeting, come about an hour later both silent and somber.

Larry arrives in the office, he meets with Barry / Jason & goes "...ABSOLUTELY NUTS; screaming, yelling, making accusations against the handful of existing NF staff,,,,,,,,,, apparently he simply lost it".

My contact & I spoke for about an hour & there is tons of funny stuff, here are some highlights:

- Rumor has it Jason Tripp "might be involved in the Youtube thing since there are compliance issues discussed".

- On the 14th Larry sent all of the people in the senior leads system triple lead sales (the leads were old & useless) which automatically triggered credit card billing. All of these customers are now calling in to dispute their credit card charges and are informed "NF has gone out of business........"

- Larry assured his remaining staff today that in the past mistakes were made but "going forward things will be done differently.

- Rumor has it Jason Perry is currently interviewing for other jobs.

- Thanks to todays YouTube e-mail NONE of Larrys vendors are buying into the whole "NF is gone" pitch and they are all calling Javelin demanding their money.

- NONE of "Javelins" sales staff have been paid from Decembers sales for NF.

oooo... contact Larry Klein directly

We have just hit upon new levels of "communicating" with the sleaze, otherwise known as "Larry Klein" directly!

If you are named, Debra or Cleo or Sal you can email lk@nfcom.com and it will get to him or... I'll get you Klein's personal Comcast email and his cell phone number here in just a bit.

Do you need some annuity marketing bullshit?

Call Larry!

Javelin... a "sparkle" in Satan/Larry Klein's eye... two years in advance says...

Not LarryKleinbutRatherTheNewnotNFcom recommends spamming seniors… 2 million online seniors you can hit with a message from russia

NF Communications... "way back" machine

Fri 12/15/2006 3:15 PM

Today at noon NF had its monthly Pizza lunch / company meeting. To everyone's "surprise" Larry announced NF would be closed at the end of the day & that in order to receive your final paycheck you had to stay until 5pm and fill out some "paperwork" (the direct deposit for employees stopped a few weeks ago).

While there would be no severance package for laid off employees Larry "promised" them he would send them a check for up to one weeks accrued vacation balance by the end of this month. To everyone's surprise Debra was canned today.

I can't decide which is more sleazy:

1) Providing employees 5 hours notice they are being laid off just before Christmas, paying no severance package, not paying accrued vacation balances, and offering "his word" that up to one weeks accrued vacation would be sent in the mail before years end.

or

2) Having his sales staff makes sales all day long today with the full knowledge no product would ever be shipped & customers would have no recourse as NF will be dissolved by days end.

Turn Klein in...

TS said...

The Contra Costa DA can be notified about Klein's current or past activities by sending a written complaint with Larry Klein-NFcom/Javelin at the top of the letter. The complaint can be sent anonymously but all the detail you have Klein's fraudulent or otherwise criminal activities should be included. If they receive multiple individual complaints that would support prosecution.


Send the written complaint to:

Contra Costa DA
Attn: Kathy
627 Ferry Street
Martinez, CA 94553

#925-646-4620

Please spread this information around to any other blogs or discussion groups that may be interested.

Note: This was posted as a comment and I agree wholeheartedly, so I thought it should come right out and be a "post" and not a "comment"!

"On behalf of all former NF employees, I hope that Klein is publicly exposed and punished for his criminal behavior. He has crossed the line and blatently committed fraud and grand larceny many times. He somehow believes he is above the law, but deserves to pay for his actions. All of those who have done business with and worked for him have had similar observations of his conduct, and would happily testify in court to his wrong doings. Let's hope he is prosecuted and we are all given a chance to give our testimony in court and help to put him in prison. Larry Klein is the most dishonest and immoral person I have ever met."

Wrongful Termination

Buried in one of the postings from late last week I found this note titled "Tammy Gets Fired"

Before I post it out where all can see (the garbage being heaped upon good people by the likes of the Larry, Barry, Jason and Moe show), I would would like to give "Tammy" a piece of advice...

"Tammy" get yourself an attorney and have him draft a wrongful termination notice and an "agreement to settle" and have him send it right to Barry Beasely as the "CEO" of Javelin.

You were fired for commenting about a person that claims to have no contact with Javelin and by a company that claims to have to no dealings with him. I'm not an attorney, but I do know a couple and when I showed them your post they about popped a vein!

Here's "Tammy Gets Fired" formerly found in the "comments" and now out for the world to see...

Today, I was called in by Barry, Perry, et al and confronted about my blog: (incomplete though it is:http://screwedbylarry.blogspot.com)

I fully admitted that yes, in the spirit of venting, I had posted this blog. It was supposed to be a place for the disenchanted to gather. I didn't even make the blog public. Somehow, the link got sent around and wound up at Javelin. The Javelinettes were displeased. TRAITOR! INGRATE!

Here sat before me the same people who TOLD me to blatantly lie about (not embellish, prevaricate, or whitewash) Larry Klein's involvement with Javelin, told me to shine on the customers who got cheated, had me fielding calls from Financial Visions - another one of those not-quite-but sorta Larry Klein companies like bigproducer.com. They too were blindsided by the demise of NF and were demanding to know of Klein's whereabouts.

Here they sat - accusing me of having given memos to someone at outlarryklein, of assisting Brian Williams and his mastermind buddy to bring the paragon of virtue, Larry Klein, down. (As if he needs any of our help...)

On the judgement seat were the same people who told me not to mention to the folks in production that they were about to get the big, spiky shaft, and had us all pretending it was business as usual. These were the same folks who instructed customer service to not give ANY refunds for months in a row (it must have been Debra's idea?)

These new bosses sat there telling me how bad I was, telling me that they had all the goods on me and that I had better fess up or else Larry Klein himself would sic his gang of lawyers on me posthaste.

My first thought was "Wait a minute- I'm confused.. If Larry's not here anymore and has nothing to do with Javelin and NF doesn't exist - why is he upset?

I calmly explained, as I will here now, that I provided NONE of the content on outlarryklein and that I do not know, nor have I ever even spoken to Brian Williams. They voiced disbelief and outrage.

"What do you want me to do- take a lie detector test?" I demanded.

Perry: "It may come to that." (threat?)

Barry: "You know who Cindy Williams is- don't say you don't."

Me: (to self) "Uh.. not really. Oh, wait- isn't she that gal from LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY?"

Perry managed a few damned fine eyerolls and fairly snorted when I said (truthfully) that I didn't know who Cindy Williams was.

Was I upset about all the crap that went on at NFavelin? You bet! Was I up for a bit of mischief and mayhem for my own twisted satisfaction? Perhaps. But I was not involved in the group effort.

Honestly, I thought Barry was an OK guy. He seemed like he was really trying to make things work but was caught between a Klein and a hard place. I had even more respect for Perry and was crossing my fingers that he would tell the whole bunch of them to **** themselves. Disappointing.

Hell, there were a lot of things I liked about Larry. Such a shame that he felt he had to marginalize his ethics in order to make money. He probably could have done it just on his own merits. And while all of us have certainly made our share of bad choices and done things of which we are not proud, Larry has made a lifetime's work of it. He has used up his share of forgive and forget ten times over.

As for me, I am jobless. For putting information on the internet that I didn't put on the Internet- for orchestrating the downfall of a guru (which I did not do.) and for telling our clients the truth when they asked.

BarPerLarry have given me time to think about what I can do to help Larry catch the "principals." If I do, perhaps the hand of Larry shall not smite me.

However, I don't really know who they are. Even if I did, and he quelled them, ten more would take their places and ten more and ten more, ad infinitum.

Best of luck to all of you, may your scars heal quickly.

PS: Barry- why did I stay on? Because I wasn't as brave as those who said no and because I had a glimmer of hope that things might work this time 'round.
