I came to this company with the understanding that they are building a business that did Music, Film and Television production. I knew they were just a simple start up comapny and I was coming along for the ride of growth. The amount of work that any one there gets paid on a so called retainer is truely subpar but we made the decision to work their regardless because we believed in the com wanted to be a part of an up and coming company. The fact that they will not pay any of us in a timely manner or at all is amazing to me. They had us all sign and NDA's and we were all in but they have treated all of us with such disrespect and disregard for helping them create their empire it is unimaginable. Precious Velvet Mayes is nothing short of a scam artist who does not even work there she is the CEO of a Pacifica Hospital of the Valley which is going under as well . Her partner Jeff Reed talks a good game with everyone who comes through because the facility looks extremely impressive. They have not paid people for months and at this time we are asking everyone to come forward and submit on this site.
They have clients which they have been stringing along for over a year. They have promised social media, pictures filming, podcast, contract, movie deals, music contracts etc you name it it has been promised and they can not get out of the deal. Do not come hear they are all rip off artist. Dede Tsuruoka is the contact person to get paid and she always responds with," let me check into that" and then never responds. Extras who have done videos for this company can't even get paid $50 for the extra work they have done. The have a website and absolutely no social media. they are not set up to do great things because they do not do right by the people who have come to help them and be by their side. Jeff Reed is a professional scam artist who claims he can help everyone become a major star and or get major deals with big companies. They hired people with industry contacts in hopes of getting those contracts for free and then pushing the finder asdide.
They have no interest but their own pockets, Do not be fooled , spend time taking a look they have no credentials and even people they have worked with, do not take them for face value check out the referrences in what they are telling you they have. They have no social media, they have only done music videos, they have never donw film work or even a POD CAST, If they can not even pay an extra what makes you think they can help you. They have hurt our families by not paying employees in timely manners and it took great thought for me to even write this but after a long thought process it made me think that I should not allow anyone else get hoodwinked by these people ever again. Precious Mayes never paid me for the work I have done along with her side kick Jeff Reed. Integrity means everything and this company is built up of nothing short of lies. I am now reporting to the labor law for non payment and illegal activity. May no other person get caught in the Preevel scam sub company Bridge & Company.
Back in May (2017), my collegue Raul contacted me. He had started working for a new company in LA called Preevel - they are hoping to be some sort of music production company I guess. Their site was a mess and I was brought on to help fix it. Raul went on and on (and on) about how "Legit" they are. I should have known better after the 5th time he threw that at me. I worked on the website for about a month. I finally finished my part, and sent my bill.
After a month, I get a weird email from Raul asking me to resend the invoice over to somebody named Dede Tsuruoka, as she would be handling it. Ok, I think, no problem, sent. Another month goes by, and still no pay. I start emailing both of them, and sure enough, the emails are ignored. Finally after a while Dede replies and says she will "look into it". Of course, there was no reply again after that. The owners name is listed as "Mayes, Precious", but I never interacted with that person.
At this point, they obviously have no intent to pay. I gave them months, but they have been unresponsive, rude, and shady. I filed a grievance with the California Labor board for wage theft, and will probably have to take them to small claims court.
If Raul or anyone contacts you to work for Preevel, AKA Preevel Studios, AKA House of Preevel, steer clear. They are ripoff artists.
