Ibex Weddings Is A Fraud

I am writing to you for help. Over seven months ago, I was married in Fort Wayne, IN. We contacted a gentleman, named Alex Pearl, through a company called Ibex Studios/Ibex Productions/Ibex Weddings. This man came and video taped my wedding, I do have a picture I can provide. It has now been over seven months and we have not heard from him, we have no video in hand, and we know he is out there still maintaining his website and defrauding others out of special memories.

Over the past number of months, I have tried each way possible to track down this man. I have called many different phone numbers, many of which have been interrupted or disconnected. I have even gone to the one address I had for him, a post office box in a UPS building. It was informed by many people who now have his phone number and by the UPS gentleman that we are not the only one`s he doing this to.

Please contact me to move further to put an end to what this man has done.

Please call the FBI-they will find hm for you- they did before.this is fraud-don`t wait until he moves again. He will be living with some poor old sap of a woman who probably doesn`t know a thing about him. He has a long history of scamming people-bad temper too-let the authorities find him-there is no studio-and your wedding was just a free lunch

Sue-
First of all, why wouldn`t you just come right out and give your real name instead of hiding behind someone`s dead mother? Secondly, I don`t appreciate the terms "unsuspecting ignorant woman" only because the only ignorant woman here is you. If you spent your time on a hobby, or maybe some sort of strong medication, maybe you wouldn`t have to be so obsessed with your past. Mom agrees, you definitely need to see someone about your psychotic behavior. Move on, everyone else has.

I just want the brides and anyone else reading this to know that I (mother of a groom who didn`t get a video yet) am not the person who posted the last message. There aren`t many named Valerie, I don`t want my issue to get confused with anyone else`s.

From Alex

FYI: the one calling herself Sue on the board, is my ex wifes sister.
She has a long history of these kind of lies. I am working to resolve all matters here matters but this fool is out of control. The only reason that "I have anything to so with the FBI" before.......is because this nutjob called the FBI and told them I was some wanted killer from TV. Just out of spite and meanness. They quickly found I was not this person, but Valerie had her chuckle all the same. A mean weirdo. She needs meds.

I have never been arrested by the Tinley Police, That is just an outright lie. Valerie (Sue) is all about the lies.

I am in the process of getting everybody their footage, Valerie (Sue) is just trying to make everything more difficult WITH CRAZY STORIES..

Really Valerie, Get a LIFE.

At this point I don`t think anyone will believe you, Alex. We just want our videos and see justice done so no other future brides are scammed by you.

And why don`t you post your name?. Hmmmmm, at least I post mine, I am upfront. Regardless of the out come. I tell it as it is, YOU hide behind being anonymous. I am at least being honest with the board. YOU hide.

Sue, Sue, Sue (or should we say Valerie?),

You don`t have a video out there waiting to be delivered do you? You are just someone that knows this man and really dislikes him for some reason. What is that reason? He dump you, your sister? You should leave the site to us brides that are waiting for their videos.

To the person who calls her/himself Lacey. We all know you are posing as a bride; we knew it the first time you responded on this forum. Please respect the other brides who are in real distress on this forum. Thank you.

Hey Alex

You haven`t been honest since the day you took the first bride`s check. Lying to all of us, never leaving an address (where you physically lived), giving out numbers that have been disconnected, shacking up with women, living off of their incomes. What a man. I bet your mom is so proud of you. If you are so honest, why haven`t you produced the videos? In fact, why don`t you CALL us brides and speak to us personally and give your REAL address. Why did it take some other girls to post your Wisconsin address? What are you afraid of? Your privilege of living off some girl who doesn`t know better? Step up to the plate, boy, and start being a real man. Tell us your real story. You never where in the hospital. You weren`t ill...physically at least. And you have a daughter? I hope she never experiences this horrible experience when she gets married. I`m sure you would never stand for that. Oh, wait. You`ll probably tell her you`ll video tape the wedding; the poor child will believe her father, and then by the time she`s ready to put her first born through college, you may actually produce the "so called video." What a special dad.

I want to address everyone, including Alex. This forum is NOT for bashing or being unprofessional. I understand that many of us are UPSET and DISAPPOINTED that anyone can do this to us. I started this forum to find other people that were having the same issues as me with Alex and to find anyone that can help me locate him or figure out how to proceed. The purpose of this board is NOT for false information, people with vindictive agenda`s, or to be a bashing fest. The last I checked, everyone is at least 21 and older, therefore, defined to be an adult. Please reframe from the bashing whether you feel justified or not. Many of us here have goals to accomplish and a shouting match is not worth anyone`s time or effort. I hope everyone continues to respect the true issue at hand.

I received my raw footage today. There are still issues to be worked out, but I believe it will all be worked out.

RG, this is not the place for you to air your personal vendetta. It`s obvious you don`t have a video with the guy. Your post is just hateful and really makes you look worse than him. Bringing in his kid and mother? You discredit yourself.
The brides on this board just want their videos. Please don’t drag us into that kind of dumb hate talk.

"Curiosity killed the cat" is what they say. Neha, any updates with you? I think anyone reading these are curious as to what or if anything will happen to IBEX. Good luck getting your video back. I`m sure any of us reading these are wishing all of you brides out there the best of luck!!!!

Neha received her raw footage as she demanded. It was delivered two days ago, although not picked up until yesterday. I am not quite sure why she has not informed the board as of such, but her signature is here.

Additionally, it has only been of recent that I actually inspected Neha`s initial post. Her post clearly stated that she had not heard from me in 7 months....... No wonder the responding posts are so nasty.....
I quote:
"Over seven months ago, I was married in Fort Wayne, IN. We contacted a gentleman, named Alex Pearl, through a company called Ibex Studios/Ibex Productions/Ibex Weddings. This man came and video taped my wedding, I do have a picture I can provide. It has now been over seven months and we have not heard from him...."
This is an entirely false statement. I fully respect Neha`s right to post her displeasure on this board and the rights of any other bride to make their voices heard...... But to start this whirlwind of calling me a fraud and "this man must be stopped" with a statement like that that is a big problem.
I was in contact with Neha and her husband quite a few times in that 7 months, the most recent being about a month or so before she posted that initial message here, with her responding to me and sending me the photos i requested for the cover. I am sorry I wasn`t able to get it to her in the time frame, but it still doesn`t make her statement true (7 months.... No contact..... Entirely false)

I have posted a PDF of our email conversation dated about 30-40 days before her post of "fraud" here, look for yourself.

I am working to get these jobs out and am doing my best and i fully understand that there will now be many posts (many of which anonymous) tearing me apart...... Let them rip.

But if you are going to call me a fraud in public, don`t base it on false info. What you accuse me of is serious. Making a claim of fraud to the authorities based on false info is also very serious Neha.

Please note her statement in her email that even goes so far as to thank me for responding to her messages.

I was respectful enough of Neha to XXX out her address and her cell number in the PSF of her email.

Lacey, Yes I am a bride. A bride that has learned to trust her instincts.

IMPORTANT!!! Alex, take Neha`s signature off of the internet IMMEDIATELY!!! Her signature is EXTREMELY confidential.

The USPS office doesn;t seem to think her signature is very confidential. Anyone going to the USPS site and entering her tracking number ( 2305 0270 0000 3214 4508 ) can have a copy of that form delivered to them via email.
As a matter of good measure, I partially obscured her signature on my own site.
