John Paul Raygoza and Push Traffic Inc pushtraffic.com

A Photoshopped image from their site doesn't help credibility.
John Paul Raygoza offers several different products and is involved with several businesses like search engine optimization and even one that reports news from the sport of Boxing. My business partner spoke with him last year and even though it was over a disagreement, John Paul Raygoza sounded like a perfectly reasonable guy. I can’t vouch for his income claims, but he’s got a lot going on and I’m sure he’s very successful. After seeing some of the things John Paul Raygoza offers however, the question came up. Is John Paul Raygoza just good at making money for himself, or can his products make any money for you.
First off, his sites are very professional (with the exception of the Pushtraffic contact page where someone Photoshopped their logo on a skyscraper). His background was at a web hosting company so you can tell he really pays attention to a clean design, professional artwork, and good layout. His main theme is to sell information products on Clickbank, then upsell the Pushtraffic mentoring packages which are $2,500 and $5,000. If you get the first package, you’ll be called again to upgrade to the bigger one. There were a few complaints on Ripoff Report about people not receiving the scheduled mentoring sessions. John Paul Raygoza did a rebuttal saying he took care of these people and resolved their problems or issued a refund in one case.
Income claims I'm a little dubious of...
Push Traffic Inc. at www.pushtraffic.com also offers search engine optimization, with $1400 and $2400 packages, which isn’t bad for that kind of work. The question they don’t answer on the order page, is how many pages they’ll optimize and for how long reports are sent. There’s a lot of software that can analyze log files (I use Nihuo Web Log Analyzer) but how many pages they’ll do this for really will determine if it’s a good deal or not. If it’s just for a home page then you’d be better off learning it yourself.
I’m going to spend the next few reviews doing them for each seperate product he offers. There’s several and if I tried to pack them all into this entry it would an hour long read, so I’ll split them up. This way you can click on the John Paul Raygoza tag to see them all in one list.

If you Google Push Traffic Inc., or Raygoza you’ll find MANY ripoff and scam forums and sites with MANY Push Traffic Inc. complaints. They have perpetrated credit card scams on a number of us. The nature of what he did to me and at least 2 others (I’m only aware of the two who’ve laid complaints at forums or ripoff sites) is commonly known as “vishing”. Caller promises to “help” with website optimization for future payment (when site brings in a specific amount). He asks for your credit card number on the pretext of verifying credit for advertising purposes, asks you to sign an agreement which is supposedly just required by their software, then they charge your credit card with as much as they can get away with. They do not acknowledge any communications nor any requests or demands for refund. The only chance you have of getting the money back is to get your credit card company to pursue the matter as fraud (which they will discourage at first). The other option is to join the many other victims in a “class action” type of process. Best bet is to stay clear of Push Traffic Inc. in the first place. There are a number of honest and reliable companies online.
agree 100% with Ann. the review above is highly misleading. Total nonsense. Raygoza is a con-man.
Pushtraffic is a con, and a very costly one, to anyone who falls for the sales pitch. (Fictitious sales pages and untruthful predictions of easy profits.)
Raygoza is only good at making money for himself- certainly not for his customers. Knows nothing about management, and customer service there is a bad joke.
Typically, the standard con is a $5000 price (though it could be anything) with guaranteed money back in 30 days from a highly successful business. Complete scam. Raygoza may charge $1k – $15k for the same thing, and irate clients usually report they get nothing.
Their contract contains one chilling line: “we do not guarantee results”
Pushtraffic promises are totally worthless, because they don’t have to refund.
Think. if a mentor could create a $2000/week business for you from nothing, without traffic spend (as promised) what is he doing working for Raygoza? If he is that good, why work for a third-rate outfit?
I didn’t have a good experience with Push traffic either. I bought the $597 course and didn’t see anything that I didn’t know. I didn’t complain as it was my mistake to think I would get more (or maybe they are very good at marketing their offer). Got a phone call from him a month later, trying to up-sell me his additional “one on one” package. I didn’t fall for it and we started arguing. He doesn’t seem to be willing to take no for an answer. He sounded more like a “pushy” telephone marketer than like an Internet millionaire. Very unpleasant experience.
this posting appears on the Ripoff report site. It is repeated here.
PUSHTRAFFIC: A FIRM AT WAR WITH ITS OWN CLIENTS:- HOW LONG CAN IT LAST?
ALL Pushtraffic clients made the mistake of taking PushTraffic’s salesmen at their word.
I never wanted the services of this cruddy outfit. Pushtraffic intruded into my life this year, when a sales predator phoned me and peddled a heap of lies.
This customer calls PushTraffic my mistake of the year, and no amount of baloney from Raygoza or his henchmen is going to change that.
Who does Raygoza think he is fooling, with his slanderous, hollow attacks on his own identified customers, such as Gail?
Raygoza’s numerous disappointed customers know Gail is in the right.
Raygoza tries to hold onto the money of dissatisfied clients. No wonder!
If he started handing back money to every unhappy client, the firm would disappear in a month.
Now Raygoza quibbles he is giving back half the money, so the dudded client should shut up? Offering half the money is a lot like a gangster trying to buy silence.
Raygoza and his legal adviser think they have designed the perfect scam. You see Pushtraffic’s atrocious incompetence is protected by a phony contract which has yet to be challenged in the court-room, though it soon will be, I predict.
Somewhere inside their devious agreement, in 4 pages of misleading prose. is the line: Pushtraffic do not guarantee results.
Any one who just signed up has been though the chilling discovery after parting with credit card details and several thousand dollars, on the basis of the promises of the liar who sold the service over the phone.
- promises made over the phone, but not written into the agreement. That’s the trick.
At best, Raygoza grants customers a right to withdraw at a penalty to the customer of 85%, and even the unjust 15% return is given grudgingly, after much fighting and threatening. Forget about money cheerfully refunded. That ain’t the Pushtraffic way at all.
Guaranteeing no results and feeling no need to explain the deliverable items, Pushtraffic’s devious dupers think they have NO OBLIGATIONS TO PROVIDE ANYTHING. That is, in fact, what clients are being told by the firm’s legal counsel all the time.
Pushtraffic is exploiting a loop-hole in US consumer protection laws.
This client was never so angry with any firm in his life. It is an outrage that Pushtraffic can continue to exist.
I wonder how many of Raygoza’s yes-men read the forums. If there are still any sane staff members of Pushtraffic who read this, then wake up and do yourself a favour: walk now.
Why work for a thug in a firm which must get busted sooner or later? If you are any good, you will get a job somewhere else.
I hung out at Raygoza’s house in Malibu and he wined-and-dined us, gave us a crash course on internet marketing…today I’m making $9,000 a month online.
I tend to find that the people who have bad things to say – are always either:
A. Person who doesn’t try hard enough, somebody who gives up quite easily or
B. Somebody who doesn’t know much about business. For instance, someone on here calls John a “Thug” – that’s a horrible thing to say about somebody who’ve I’ve met in person and is anything but a thug. He donates a lot of his time and money to charity and he’s teaching people how to make money? What is so thug about that?
Again, if anyone really wants to consider working with John. You may want to take advice from someone who is credible – not somebody who is bitter.
Thanks,
Deb
Hey Deborah,
It’s true that a certain amount of people will succeed or fail no matter what. This blog is all about the truth, not out to hang or praise anyone. If you were at his house and got personal training then you got something most people buying his program never got. I’ve personally spoken with John, and I like the guy. We didn’t argue, I came away from the call thinking he was a good guy. The reality though, is a lot of people who I’ve spoken with paid a lot of money and didn’t find success. Of course they could have failed at a roofing company or if they tried to start a hot dog stand as well.
He’s made a lot of success for himself, but after speaking with several people it still remains to be seen how good he is at creating wealth for others.
The fact remains that there are countless dissatisfied customers. I happen to know that many of them had already achieved success to some degree, but still got nothing from Raygoza’s coaching. The salesmen lied to them about what they would be getting. Some got absolutely nothing and were charged through the nose – up to $30,000!
I was told I would be coached in developing a membership site but instead was railroaded towards affiliating for Raygoza’s companies. Not what I wante to do.
I was also told that Raygoza would be coming to my country (Australia) to run a seminar which I really wanted to attend. The seminar never took place and I was not notified.
I was told that I’d get a custom designed website – it never came.
I paid $15,000 for virtually nothing but empty promises. I work very hard on developing my own internet business, but Raygoza and his gang gave no input whatsoever.
Deb says Raygoza is very generous to charity. Yeah! We all know where he’s getting the money to donate – from scamming.
Some of the scammed clients have real hard-luck stories and he took the last of their money and gave them nothing in return. I don’t call that charitable.
He puts on a front for some people, but if you’ve ever been on the other end of the phone when you have a genuine complaint, all hell breaks loose.
He is an abusive bully who refuses to listen and who calls dissatisfied clients “liars”.
To know the truth about Push Traffic and John Raygoza, simple contact the Better Busines Bureau (BBB). They give Push Traffic a rating of
“F”. John Raygoza is also the president of INC FORTUNE.
The BBB give INC FORTUNE a rating of “F”. No company or company president can get a more disgraceful rating from the BBB than “F”. Total failure and total scam.
I wonder what motivates Deborah Kirch to post those compliments. Anyone who defends Pushtraffic is suspect.
This is an unethical firm, all right. Its so-called services are marketed with no scruples at all.
There is no customer service worthy of the name.
What customers get out of it is a matter of luck.
Pushtraffic has taken my money and crippled my internet marketing business. They could not support their sales promises but the bastards refuse a refund.
To defend a firm that refuses to discuss justified refunds to clients immediately puts your character in doubt, Deborah.
And if Deborah the author has a successful website, can we know the URL? It would not prove anything is true, but we could take a look at Deborah’s own ethics and sales practices.
Horrible things get said about horrible people, and the more I know of Raygoza – as his reluctant client- the more I dislike the bastard.
Like his other swindled clients, I never wanted the crud service of Pushtraffic in the first place. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trusting the sale shills. I now have a sign on the table of my study: Never trust a salesman. (Pushtraffic)
That is the only lesson Raygoza taught me, and it was a costly lesson.
Save the propaganda about charity donations. The notorious charity giver, Bernard Madoff, got away with grand misrepresentation for years, and still had socialites defending him until he got busted.
Raygoza will have his day in court. A lot of his clients are determined to see him there.
If you are a victim of any of John Raygoza’s dubious companies (PushTraffic.com, IncFortune.com, SuccessRate.com, JumpLaunch.com, YourAffiliateSuccess.com and there may be others) send an email to urlybird@gmail.com for assistance.
Like so many other victim’s of PushTraffic I also have a familiar story.Paid,$3.000,USD($6000nzd)for the so called personal coaching one on one sessions,first mentor,Robert Tarentino lasted 2,sessions 2nd,K,Steele also 2 sessions,3rd mentor,Mike,Gibson,lasted 4 sessions,then nothing for two weeks until numerous phone calls,and unanswered emails was informed would be introduced to John Raygoza and a new semina.Which was totally far more advanced from where I had my last coaching lesson.When trying to contact this company to explain my situation,was told by Harwood Hamilton,that this was the way things stood from now on.When asked about a refund was totally fobbed off and since then all further contact ignored.YES consider PUSHTRAFFIC a SCAM and a RIPOFF.
I wish i would have read these blogs before I paid 10.000 to IncFortune,com
I fell for the sales person who sounded honest,sweet, promise to get me out of debt
Yes have received an oping page,web-site promoting procudts.videos, access to webinars;but thee is ot Customer Services, it really makes very upset that you call -e-mail them and not respond whatsoever.
Right now I am trying to decide to call the credit card and report it as a fraud.
They offered me coaching-nothing, advanced training,mentor-ship, I am still waiting. i work hard; but I need the help, the company does not give you a direct phone call to contact them.
I was reading this and really makes mad because I’m one of those who trusted John raygoza. the first to call me was John delton and he still sends me e-mails, but those emails have no way to reply they are only sales emails telling you that they have the newest and best maney making tool. If you open it it will take you to a sles page. I was easked by Delton to give him my Credit card Number just to verify that I was over 18, and he used it to take money our of my bank account, I did not have much money in the account but i don’t know how they did it to take 2 withdrawls that left me oweing the banck $2000.00 and even I file a claim with the bank now the bank says “” Push Traffic Inc”" does not want to return the money.. What Can we do to recupe the money???
In response to “ripped off” – please contact me (Gail) at urlybird@gmail.com to find out what you must do.
(The guy you refer to is John Denton. He is an accomplice in this crime, but he has his own business based in Florida. Raygoza is in Los Angeles).
I have researched this scam for a long time and there are countless victims. Please contact me ASAP. I will be reinstating my blog very soon:
pushtrafficscam.com
I was about to accept their job offer as a Rep,Glad I did my research on their service and mentorship.
Didn’t think many hard working people invested so much money on trying to get a online business going.
I’m very experience in marketing if any of you will like some advise reply to my email and contact me.
Theres no way a mentor should charge you and leave you in debt with out coming thru on his promises!
lopezrome1982@yahoo.com
I got suckered by these “people” too, involving a substantial sum of money.
Please let me know if any action is planned. Thank you.
