The importance of this simply cannot be overstated. These people are criminals, plain and simple, and I personally have lost a huge sum of money because of their false promises. They CANNOT be allowed to get away with it, as I am sure that I am not the only one to fall prey to their deception and theft. Please help me by reporting any experiences you may have had with them—and obviously, if you have not dealt with them, please exercise extreme CONSUMER CAUTION by avoiding them at all cost.

This is a hard thing to talk about, as I am at once furious with rage, deeply embarrassed, and sincerely bewildered that this ever could have happened. You see, I have been the target of a scam artist. I gave him my money and he not only failed to deliver on his promises, but he broke off all contact with me and left me with no way to communicate with him. I have filed a police report and have been informed that there is already an FTC investigation under way, but, for those who may still run afoul of his deception, I wanted to offer a huge consumer warning for Eric Tissel.

Eric Tissel is the ringleader behind a nationwide scam called projectpayday.com. Eric uses ReviewOpedia medium to write false reviews about his competitors to redirect customers to his scam. Eric Tissel hides behind shell companies, and for the first time ever, his scam is exposed.

He and his partner Zac McGrath use sites like ReviewOpedia.com to write false reviews about his company as well. He is very close friends with Yan Gurenvich, the owner of ReviewOpedia.com and another hugely dangerous scam artist.
