Paolo Valenzuela SCAM, DO NOT PAY!!!!
COMPANY/INDIVIDUAL: Paolo Valenzuela Operating As: JPC Media Ventures LLC; Paolo the Source LLC Address: 1525 Mesa Verde Dr E, Suite 204, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Phone: 909-833-1036 PRODUCT/SERVICE: Business tradelines and shelf corporation — credit repair services WHAT HAPPENED: Paolo Valenzuela solicited $7,250 from the complainant for business tradelines ($150,000 in reported lines) and a shelf corporation, claiming affiliation with SwipeDigi. He collected full payment via wire transfer on August 8, 2025, to Bank of America account 325183729161 under Paolo the Source LLC. I am filing this report to warn every person in every business credit and funding community about Paolo Valenzuela. He stole $7,250 via wire transfer. Here is exactly what happened. He approached me through an online funding community and pitched shelf corporations and business tradelines. He claimed he had banking relationships to get everything done in 60 to 90 days. He was smooth, professional, and convincing. I wired $7,250 to his Bank of America account (account 325183729161, wire routing 026009593) under his business Paolo the Source LLC at 1525 Mesa Verde Dr E, Suite 204, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. He confirmed receipt. He promised a paid invoice. That invoice never came. Two weeks later he was gone. Two full months of silence. His Facebook and Instagram were still posting the whole time. Then he came back with excuses. Legal troubles. A lawsuit he had to settle. Out of the country. He was heading to the office today. He would have it done in a couple of days. That became his line every single time: "I'm heading to the office today." Nine months of this. Health issues. Family emergencies. Shelf corp problems that needed to be rebuilt. Every month a new excuse. Every month another disappearance. His last promise was May 8, 2026. He was responsive right up to that date. The moment it passed, gone again. Nothing delivered. No refund. Zero communication. Subject operates as a credit services provider selling tradeline additions to consumer and business credit profiles for fees. This activity is subject to the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) and applicable state consumer financial laws. Subject has no disclosed license for credit services activity in California. No services were delivered in the promised 60 to 90 day window. Subject engaged in nine months of delay, false promises, and non-communication before disappearing entirely after a final missed delivery date of May 8, 2026. Subject also collected personal identifying information including a government-issued photo ID from the complainant, raising additional consumer protection concerns. DESIRED RESOLUTION: Full refund of $7,250. Regulatory investigation into unlicensed credit services activity. Enforcement action. I can show documented fraud complaints and other victims if needed. I have loads of proof. STAY AWAY!!! He has prior arrest records in California. Other victims exist. UniCourt case is on file. He has been doing this for years. Do not pay him. Do not share your information. File at IC3.gov if he has taken your money.
