I have had a wonderful Experience with Elbert White he was a good sales person for the company i'm still working with him today on other business ventures. Kevin Yeske did not fulfill the web development as promised which left Elbert White holding the responsibility. Elbert has done very well with assisting me in moving forward I've learned a lot I am very happy with his work ethic.

I'm sure he is still working with you, as he prays on people who continuously will blindly spend money. I've met with Kevin Several times.

I also did some training to work with Biz Experts years ago. Everything Kevin taught his customers was legit, from SEO, paid traffic, and site flipping. Elbert might neglect to tell you the fact he was actually making all the money. Kevin was working day in and day out on websites while Elbert would actually never show up to work, make some excuse, or demand a pay increase.

I was truly surprised by how much that kevin did for biz experts. I watched what Elbert did, I watched kevin fight to stay above water while he tried to handle all the missed appointments Elbert was supposed to do. I still work with Kevin but he does free mentoring now. He says the people who want to pay for services will always find some excuse to blame someone else for their lack of effort.

Keep in mind Kevin sold Websites and Basic SEO(Search Engine Optimization). He would set up affiliate sites for products with specific keywords to gain organic traffic. Most customers because of Elbert's lack of information were signing up not knowing amazon only paid up to 10% of the sale the site helped make. Now a days kevin works from home, doing the same exact thing but only for himself.

He always is willing to help someone learn for FREE if they put the work in. He refuses to do paid work for anyone as people usually can't even read a Terms of Service or Line of scope before they sign. I'm glad Elbert has worked out for you Bob, but there are hundreds of others from other companies who say otherwise..

I've spoken with them, Kevin has spoken with them, other customers of these other companies have spoken with them. You are the first to say good things that I have heard..

Worst choice I ever made

Biz Experts - Worst choice I ever made

I trusted him to help make a website and a couple other things. I never got my website, and a couple other things which he didnt so any of it.

he scammed my family out of $2000.

Kevin yeske is a scam artist who should not be trusted. He moved to blackfoot idaho if anyone is looking for him.

Could you provide some information as to who you are? I have worked with Kevin, and have nothing but good things to say about him.

May want to check that your issue is not really with Elbert Desmond White III. It's always good to leave info if you have a problem, so that way people can fix the issue..

Resolved: Everyone Says Beware Biz Experts and Kevin Yeske, I say Beware Elbert White

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Just decided to stop by and leave my two cents about Biz Experts and their employees. Let me start by saying I had weekly appointments with Kevin Yeske, and he never missed an appointment.

If anything I missed appointments and had to reschedule. I started working with them when they first opened up and got a killer deal on the website and services they offered me. I got an affiliate site with some social media accounts. They managed my social media accounts every couple of days, and there were no issues.

I think it has become relevant due to all the bad reviews to mention that when I signed up for services with them Elbert White tried to get me to get a package that was different then what Kevin and I discussed. The package Elbert was trying to get me to purchase was over 10,000 dollars. What I found even more interesting was he was trying to get me to wire money to his personal bank accounts, not bank accounts in Biz Experts name. I spoke with Kevin about this and he was very surprised and said he would have a talk with Elbert about this, because something like that was uncalled for.

He thanked me for telling him about it. Later on I asked Kevin about this and apparently Elbert said there was a misunderstanding. I mention this because several months after my services ran out and Biz Experts closed down. I got a call from someone who sounded exactly like Elbert White, claiming to be a Desmond Stevens.

Every time I spoke with Elbert he tried to get money from me, every time I talked to Kevin it was strictly about my services. I look back now and assume that bad seed Kevin was talking about was him.

Anyways my services worked well, and I am sure there are others who have the same positive review I do. Angry people who feel cheated will always post a review over someone who is happy!

This is unfortunate, was it Kevin, or was it Elbert White III. I have worked with Kevin in the past and have had nothing but great experiences! It's unfortunate you had a bad experience, because he is far from a crook, more of a kind soul who gives way too much and is taken advantage of.

Biz Experts - BizExperts 109* 224th Lane Buckeye,AZ.85326

Six months have gone by since I posted my complaint with several agencies describing how this company ripped me off. I assume getting ripped off by this company is my stupidity for the trust of helping me start a online company which is what they advertise.

They could settle this by just reimbursing what they stole from me. Kevin Yeske and his band of cronies feel the need to take my money and not respond to their actions.

If I can help prevent one person from getting ripped off by BizExperts in Buckeye Arizona then maybe this was worth it. This is what the crook looks like.

This is a response from Kevin Yeske himself

This is not true, i worked for Kevin Yeske This is his way of trying to clear himself for not fulfilling sales that I made I was a sales person there at his company he left and went to Idaho, I don't do Web development or design just sales it was his responsibility.

Guest

I had a very good experience with Biz Experts, sucks they went out of business otherwise I would still be working with them. When my contract ran up and Kevin called, and informed me they were in the process of closing down because of a few bad seeds that had cause some issues within the company.

I asked him if he would be able to continue helping me, and he said to be honest with the issues I am having thanks to a few employees, I am not sure I will.

I have emailed a few times, but no response. Hopefully he responds sooner or later because I NEED his services!

I had the same problem with Elbert Desmond White III. Except it was with another company he was with.

I lost alot of money. Took a morgage out on my house even.. I have been in contact with others who were also scammed by this man. So now....

I wanna play a game... The rules are simple.. Follow the links.. see if you can find his real address..

I have put real images to help along the way. Lets do something about this shall we? Get this *** off the streets.. Everyone report the Attourney General your experiences with Elbert Desmond White III, Desi, Desmond Stevens, Desmond White, Elbert Desmond, what ever he says his name is..

Do the Leg work for them, because they WILL NOT do it. And it only takes a bit of lying on his part or bending of the truth.. I have listed alot of info you can use to show proofs.. Lets get this man put away in PRISON, have him pay the people back who he stole from..

Our Journey begins here, but unfornately there are more companies before this one: MyPhoneRoom - http://ecorp.azcc.gov/Details/Corp?corpId=L1546****

He worked as a sales man where sold extremely High packages to customers - saying anything that needed to be said to make the sale!

This includes Sales of anywhere from 500.00 USD - 30,000.00 USD per customer. Some customers even sent in their most prized posessions to work with this "Great Company". More specifically a Baseball signed by Baberuth that was Stolen.

Alpha Source Media LLC - http://ecorp.azcc.gov/Details/Corp?corpId=L1819**** - He worked here on sales, guess what?

They closed down because of the same issue, Elbert White and Hassan worked together to scam people into thinking they were making money and offered to send fake checks only after they sent more money....

TextMedia LLC - http://ecorp.azcc.gov/Details/Corp?corpId=L1922**** - Sales as well, called people from the previous company and sold them packages and websites that didn't even exist and if one did they all thought they owned it.

Big Heart Transitional Centers - http://ecorp.azcc.gov/Details/Corp?corpId=L1370**** This one was a side project from the looks of it... Nothing really happened here... Maybe because he needed to be licensed to do what the business needed? Forb Financial Marketing Solutions - http://ecorp.azcc.gov/Details/Corp?corpId=L1687**** - Another started project of his, where he failed and as we see from the review I am posting on, Others have had the same issues..

Now if you look you can see he changed the Name of the company and changed it back again... Wonder why? So people could try and file suits maybe? Getting closer...

Closer... I can feel it.. https://imgur.com/gallery/X5fGR So far we have traced Waldo aka Elbert Desmond Stevens III to Phoenix and Casa Grande but can't seem to find him... But it looks like that he made enough here to move from his one bedroom loft and move into a real house...

A house he could use to bring people over and show them what it was like to live "well".... So records of this house pop up ehhhh? Well maybe it will show somewhere else to a business he has... ForbMarketingSolutions.com - http://whois.domaintools.com/forbmarketingsolutions.com - No Info...

DabbleWire.com - http://whois.domaintools.com/dabblewire.com - No Info.... DARN DabbleWire.net - http://whois.domaintools.com/dabblewire.net - Look a recent domain... How nice.. Funny he has all the other domains hidden except this one..

I wonder why... Maybe he forgot because he was in a rush to move to a new company to scam more people... There were a few more tech savy things that were done in order to reach the next response but I will not list those as I do not fully understand what my tech guy did..

And here we go... US MARKETING SOLUTIONS LLC - http://ecorp.azcc.gov/Details/Corp?corpId=L1687**** which if you look closely has his real address ;) http://imgur.com/a/SbIrW now here is the house ;) https://imgur.com/gallery/X5fGR

I too lost money with the Bizexprets, Kevin seem to really want to help, the guy I had a problem with was a guy named Desmond, I had jude them down under a $1,000 dollars, every time I talked with him he always told me you ow more money, you have a balance. When ever I talked with Kevin he always told me I was good to go you don't ow us anything. Watch out for Desmond I think it was him that called me about a month ago and tried to talk me into spending money with him, I told him to get lost and hung up on him.

It was different with me.Desmond wasn't even working there at 1st. He didn't get involve until I started blasting the company.

Kevin told me there was problems with the Amazon accounting and the banking info had to be temporarily switched to his name. Like a dummy, I did it without thinking, because I thought I could trust him and my knowledge of how the affiliate system worked was limited. After a couple of months I told him to switch it back and questioned the money the site had generated. For the next few weeks he kept asking me if I had received the check yet.

This went on and on and naturally he never mailed a check. Basically he ripped me off of what I paid to start up and what little money the site was generating.

He is an outright thief,liar and fraud and I wish there was something more I could do to him and his company other than hopping on a plane,fly to Phoenix and kick his crooked lying ***. Any other suggestions?

I wanted to go ahead and share my experience with the Biz Experts, as I saw lots of bad reviews. I worked with Kevin closely and spent about 5 thousand dollars, I even went out and stayed with him for a few months because I was interested in Online Marketing.

Upon coming out, I learned that Kevin and a few other individuals worked for Biz Experts, but Kevin was stuck doing most of the work as most of the employees were just a waste of space. I spent many days, learning the Ideas behind what they call the Full Monty. I watched Kevin help lots of people and also watched him help some people who were completely irate. Someone mentioned Elbert/Desmond in one of these reviews, I would highly recommend you look into him, as he was the head of sales.

From My experience this was the person who people should be complaining about. Shortly after I left, Elbert/Desmond, started a company and started contacting most of Kevin's happy clients and even some disgruntled ones to start making money off these individuals. He even tried to call and tell me about his awesome new opportunity he had. Working with Kevin while I was in the Phoenix area showed me completely, that Kevin was just the scapegoat for what was really going on behind the scene.

A man named Elbert who was trying to leach off of a very talented young man. During my stay I watched and learned several methods Kevin uses to make money online - Web Development, Affiliate Marketing, Lead generation, CPA, and many others. I watched Kevin come up with new ideas and watched him test those brand new ideas and start making money from them typically within a few days. He used to always say, some of my customers are unhappy because they do not see the bigger picture and instead of allowing the time that is needed to make the money they wish to they instead decide to chargeback or call me nonstop, which takes time away from their services to deal with issues.

I kept asking myself how Kevin handles without blowing up on these people, and I think I finally have the answer. I think he realized what was going to happen with Elbert, and was unsure of how to handle it. He was always on the phone talking with lawyers because of the issues he was having because of this Elbert. While this does not excuse your loss of money if there is one.

I will say, I was around his office when you Mr. Henry were calling nonstop cussing him out. He continued to answer your calls and even try to call you back after you would hang up. If I remember correctly you were having issues with your website after changing some settings around and rendering it useless?

Kevin helped you rebuild it something like 4 times while I was there. The sum of the convo I remember hearing was Kevin had stated he had fixed and had to rebuild your website over 5 times, and would require an additional payment in order for him to rebuild it again. At that point I could hear you yelling and cussing. He offered to continue to help you, and even offered eventually to do the site again so long as you did not mess it up and if you did that would require a payment to fix it.

Last thing I heard about Kevin was he had to close down as Elbert had opened a competing business with Biz Experts Clients, Kevin was seeking legal damages as Elbert was calling off the clients asking them to charge back on Biz Experts and even took it upon himself to create an identical website which can be found at HTTP://www.ForbMarketingSolutions.com If I were you I would be very careful answering telemarketing calls as Mr. White is still looking for victims.

I had good results with Kevin, though I originally signed up with Elbert. Elbert was supposed to do weekly calls with me to go over my business.

Issue was he never called after I paid. I got a hold of Brandon, and he got me connected with Kevin, from there he always made his appointments at that was for about a year when my services were over. I tried to give em a call a few months ago to restart my business because I had stopped to try to do it myself, but looks like they went out of business.

Seems as though this may be the case with Elbert.. I also see there is a new company founded By Elbert White/Desmond Stevens check it out:

STAY AWAY FROM THE BIZ EXPERTS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They take your money and run. Nothing they say is true!!

While they were around it was all excuses and broken promises. As soon as I asked for a refund they were gone. No answered calls or contact at all.

Once one of the Account people called me by mistake and I heard him in his car. When I called him back he lied and said he was busy working on my leads. I caught him in the lie and then asked for the refund. Never heard from them again.

They talk bad about legit companies and make you think they will do so much for you and it simply is not true. There are other companies out there who will do what this scam promised.

Screwed by Biz Experts

I invested 1500.00 with an on-line company Biz Experts based in Phoenix AZ in November 2014. They were to help me develop a website for affiliate marketing with Amazon.

Kevin Yeske (the owner) of this company informed me in February there was a problem with the tax and payment info and it needed to be changed into his name. In March he told me he was mailing me a check for 1200.00 from sales on Amazon, which he never did. In June with his help the information was finally changed back into my name. At that time the website quit working and I have not received a penny.

He quit keeping his appointments and wouldn't return any text messages. He would not answer the phone and his mailbox was always full. I did contact Desmond Stevens several times and he promised my phone calls would be answered. Not a one.

Over the last nine months I am out 1500.00, whatever the website has generated in sales and all the work and effort put into it. The traffic on the website can be seen on the tools associated with it. There are sales from it that went somewhere but not me. I have record of money paid them and record of many phone calls and text that were never answered.

A could have done a better job of this but being an eager beginner and trying to see the best in people put me in this position. I am certain exposing his records would explain my statements. I will be completely transparent with whatever information needed. Whatever the reason he chose me to rip off, if this company is reputable, I don't understand.

Nine months later I am out the 1500.00 invested, all the money from the website sales and waisted time.

A refund of the 1500.00 and an explanation of all the money generated by the site from nine months would be a minimum solution. Hopefully this never happens to another person seeking an on-line business opportunity from this kind of company.

It would be nice if you could get your money back but you never will. Smoke and mirriors is all you will see until the statue of limitations on recoverable actions wears out or you get tired.

Your story is not new, sadly.

Keep on them and push for anything you can get back. Go to his home if you have to.
