5Jacks Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 After receiving unsolicited emails over the past week from the latter 2 media outlets and finding that the "unsubscribe" links within them led to "page not found" errors, I had the following email exchange with the "staff" there: Quote UNSUBSCRIBE ME IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!! Tue, Oct 6, 2020 at 2:42 PM To: Puerto Vallarta Reporter <info@puertovallartareporter.com> Neither of the links to unsubscribe or manage subscriptions works, so this serves as your notice to IMMEDIATELY take me off ALL mailing lists that you maintain. And, I do mean IMMEDIATELY, as in midnight central time, 10/6/2020. Quote On Tue, Oct 6, 2020 at 4:22 PM <info@puertovallartareporter.com> wrote: OR ELSE!!!!!! Don't worry, I've unsubscribed you now. The unsubscribe links work perfectly well for me when I try. Staff Quote Tue, Oct 6, 2020 at 5:33 PM To: Puerto Vallarta Reporter <info@puertovallartareporter.com> Thanks. Your reply is a perfect example of why one should not associate with you or any money-making endeavor you attempt. It doesn't matter that my demanding email sounded rude or threatening or contained any words in all uppercase; Customer Service 101 dictates that your response should have been gracious. Pointing out that a link works perfectly well for you when you try does nothing to solve the issue for someone else. Neither link worked for me and I tried it with 2 different browsers on 2 different days. Had any of them worked in the first place, I would not have had to email you.

I'm just reporting the facts as they appear in black and white and you all can draw your own conclusions. Funny, I just tried the "unsubscribe" links again and they are now working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 The Guadalajara Reporter is in no way associated with the Lake Chapala Reporter and the Puerto Vallarta Reporter. Lisa used the names to try to confuse folks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I had a similar exchange with her over the technical issues of her website, which were many. I asked for a refund. She said, FU, you'll never get it back. I sent all our back-and-forth emails to PayPal (the have a customer complaint portal). PayPal refunded the entire amount I had paid, even though I had only asked for a pro-rated refund. I suggest the OP and others who have been ripped of by Lisa, do the same. Her "newspapers" copy stories from other online sources, crediting none of them. Her own website malfunctions incessantly. Hit her where it hurts, the pocketbook. @5JacksPlease REMOVE the Guadalajara Reporter from your thread title; they are not related to the others. You can edit the title by going to your initial post, and move your cursor to the Title line and edit it. Thx. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 5Jacks. I had the same spam/crap coming from that site with the same problem of "site not found," etc. I wrote directly to the site and FINALLY seem to be off her list. Where TF did she get our e-mails?

But the same spam style email arrived from the Guadalajara Reporter yesterday along with one from the other two sources reported. You are telling us that the Reporter's name is being used by Lisa Jorgensen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply pointing that out to @5Jacks . Are you saying there IS a relationship between them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bournemouth Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Upfront said: there is NO relationship. jorgensnun has illegally used the title GUADALAJARA REPORTER in that email to con people. the spam style email you got bournemouth was the same as everyone from the scammer Thanks Upfront. So - does she have a relationship with the PV paper or is it purely her extending the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I recently read that she has the domain name. Guadalajara Reporter. NET !!! Another ripoff.... Hopefully the real Reporter is aware of this and maybe can do something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no connection with the weekly, The Guadalajara Reporter, that most of you pick up at a store or subscribe to online. Hers is guadalajarareporter.mx whereas the reputable one is theguadalajarareporter.net. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 28 minutes ago, Upfront said: all she did was steal the name for obvious and stated reasons. i can call myself 5Jacks if i want. Admittedly I don't now the laws in MX when it comes to this sort of thing. In the US the ownership of a similar website is OK, but if she advertises herself as the GDL Reporter in a manner that someone could not distinguish between the two, the registered owner of that name would have some recourse.

Dostortas Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 5Jacks, These unsolicited emails and your private exchange that you’ve published on the web board and Facebook Group pages sure have garnered some reaction from folks. I avoid Jorgensen and don’t support her ventures but posting this everywhere makes you look as bad as you’re hoping to make her look. It’s not funny at all. It’s a bit akin to cyber bullying actually. Know your Netiquette. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like public shaming than public warning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not meant to be funny, and it's no joke. How is it that you came to the decision to avoid her and her ventures? My goal in spreading this around was to inform others of what lurks beneath the façade. The only tool I have to cast a wider net is social media. I wasn't hoping to make her look bad; she took care of doing that herself. If my posts have spared even one person from purchasing a subscription from her, then I'm fine with being considered the bully and the one who looks bad here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also appreciate your position and your intention to warn people. However, you said you’re not a subscriber and you received unsolicited emails. You didn’t get burned financially. Also, reminds me a bit of those public freak out videos on YouTube where someone is rude to an employee and when the employee responds in the same manor they become offended because they should be providing good customer service. Sometimes in life, you get back what you give out. Regarding Nettiquette 101, it’s in poor taste to post personal conversations online for public viewing. Maybe if somebody did that to you, you could appreciate why it just shouldn’t be done to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about your question, Tingting. Most likely, she purchases lists from outside sources. I haven't checked the privacy policies of this webboard yet, but obtaining the email addresses of its members would be like striking gold for her target market.

Maybe if somebody did that to you, you could appreciate why it just shouldn’t be done others. I totally get your points made above and I am going to drop this after making a few final points here. This was not a personal conversation between friends or acquaintances. This was an exchange between a business owner and a frustrated prospect. I see nothing wrong in making that exchange public in order to warn others of what they might be in for when dealing with this business owner. Being called a horrible human being and told to go f**k off was so way beyond any level of rudeness contained within my responses that it put me into revenge mode. So yes, sometimes in life, one gets back what one gives out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
