LeapFish and Ben Behrouzi Spam Techcrunch. What’s new?

Ben Behrouzi has hit an all time low for himself and his new startup LeapFish in front of Silicon Valley and the world. After Techcrunch declared LeapFish as “another meta search engine no one will ever use” his employees were caught red handed making shill comments praising LeapFish and calling it “genius”. Classic. This puts him on the fast track to destroy yet another brand in addition to his past casualties, ePerks, Brabus Ventures, and iHype.

Now Techcrunch knows what the rest of us have known for years. Ben Behrouzi, LeapFish and most of Ben’s companies are spammers. I’ve personally received ePerks and LeapFish spam and or phone calls. A former ePerks employee confided in me that Behrouzi employees are given free reign to use whatever techniques are necessary to hit their numbers.

Former Ben Behrouzi ePerks employee that wished to remain unnamed:

I graduated from USC, I never imagined I would be spamming for a living.

TechCrunch points out the obvious that LeapFish provides no real value to searchers. LeapFish claims to be the “first multi-dimensional information aggregator and search portal in the world”. In reality it is simply a search engine aggregator similar to DogPile (launched in 1996), Addict-o-Matic, or the hundreds of others that exist.

Bens’ Fake TechCrunch Comments are a Thing of Beauty

After one shill comment after another, it becomes clear that most of the comments are simply fake and obviously made by Ben Behrouzi and or his employees.

When we pointed out that spamming blog comments is a Ben Behrouzi / DotNext Inc. / LeapFish hallmark, TechCrunch confirmed that in fact, all of the comments were coming the same IP address. This IP address was later banned.

Also for the record you and your readers should know that, the trace richardson and lord matt commenting above are rogue bloggers looking for attention, traffic and destruction of others. They are motivated by a disgustingly shameful agenda that clearly manifests itself in their comments above and have a long history of stalking our people and spreading fabricated news in mass quantities. The company will be addressing each of their malicious activities soon. – Ben Behrouzi, CEO Dotnext, Inc. LeapFish

    Trace,

    There you go again stalking, harassing and clinging to me. You’re not a journalist buddy and every single person can now see your agenda.

    As I communicated on TechCrunch, we have over 80 account executives that were anxious and excited and no one intended any kind of SPAM. If you read our response to TechCrunch we apologized immediately to them for the fact that our floor rushed in to comment.

    When considering SPAM you should really look in the mirror trace. Your numerous posts on TechCrunch, your 2 immediate bogus articles on this site and your ridiculous number of links and posts about me here are the real SPAM trace. But of course you know that.

    For the record I didn’t threaten anyone. I have corrected you numerous times on your false statements on this site and you have done nothing about them other than just tell the world that you haven’t received them from me.

    You are a bully hiding your face behind a keyboard. I won’t allow for your character assassination, reputation destruction and harrassment any longer.

    Hello ben – have you found the shift key yet. It’s considered good form in polite society to capitalise the first letter of names and indeed all proper nouns. Like this: Lord Matt (correct) lord matt (incorrect).

    I’m still challenging you to prove your statement with external evidences. You have been very, very rude. Ben (see how easy it is to do) your character assassination, reputation destruction and harassment (one “r” old boy) of people with opinions that differ to your own is starting to get me good and cross.
