Even there site looks PHONY! If he's that big of a CEO he wouldnt have time to make a personal phone call! The video only has 4,230 views (no offense) so what's the big deal? Ugh
balloon twisting is not just for children. a background check is not necessary for someone to twist balloons in a restaraunts, the child molestor does not need to twist balloons to get close to children. however balloon distractions deters people from experiencing real twisters by eliminating real free trade. they are a fraud by saying they train the twisters that work in resaurants, they don't , they have a very small share of training us.
You owned him in like, every way. This guy is pathetic if he's all butthurt about a single video on youtube calling his company a fraud. I hope he reads this comment. Because, from what I've seen, his company looks like a pile of shit. Even the website looks like it was designed by someone with 1 day of experience. Here's a piece of advice, BalloonDistractions guy. Grow some confidence in your business or get the hell out of it. The reason you're so defensive is probably because the shit is true
you know whats funny happy? the fact that he wants to sue you for listening and saying things that OTHER people said. This is not going to hold up in court because you are not saying it, your restating what other people have said.
For some reason I never get tired of watching this video. Maybe it's all that bluster that comes over from him flaunting his status as a CEO of a company that makes balloon animals (That is what they do, right?). And yes it's good for him for having been able to make it that far but the way he tries to make himself come accross is like he's having brunch with the president where he asks him for advice on geopolitical problems.
That "Ben" guy sounded so full of shit. He was blatantly threatening you with legal action and he tried to say that he wasn't really threatening you. I hope that if that was really the found of that company that this video hurts his business badly. Companies with corrupt morals don't deserve to survive.
And no, HC, no one told me to come and post here (I saw that comment on the vid). I will say on your behalf that I have run into people who had ill experiences dealing with Ben himself, which made me a little relieved that I only deal with my lady boss. I don't think the problem is so much the video itself, as it is the fact that when u google Balloon Distractions, one of the first things that comes up is the youtube vid with the image saying "fraud". I think that's the real issue here.
@SireniaSolaris It wasn't always the case. The only reason it shows up under search results now is because of all the attention BD has been giving it. The video sat idle for several months with just a few hundred views. Had they ignored it nobody would have seen it. However the people I talked to who told me to avoid that company like the plauge are leaders in the industry, people I know and people I have met in real life. The video stays up
@HappyCabbie Thanks, that's pretty wild stuff, keep me updated cause its stuff like this that I see on scam com is what is entertaining when it comes to certain things lol.
Hey Peter. What's happening? I guess you and I should go ahead and have a little talk! Apparently, you forgot to put a cover sheet on one of your TPS reports, so if you could go ahead and make sure you remember to go ahead and do that from now on, that would be great. Mmmkay??? ThAAaaaanx.
well, I would guess his claim is based on that if you google "Balloon Distractions you tube" one of the first two results is cabbie's vid, with the word fruad on the thumbnail, and the title saying to stay away from that compony.
sure it's the internet, and you can say what you want, but the word "fruad" has leagel meaning, and that may get you into trouble.
Exactly. That's what happened to me, actually. I had just started working for them when I saw that go up and I kind of freaked out and almost backed out. But I'm supporting a child alone and decided to stay with it, and am actually really really really glad I did. I happen to have a wonderful RP and she is the only one I have to answer to, currently. For me personally, I've had a wonderful experience thus far.
He clearly isn't going to sue from what I gather or else he wouldn't bother calling just to blubber like he did. He just figured you were weak willed and would get scared and run away. Who the fuck does this guy think he is?? Wouldn't he have to prove that what you said was false, or baseless? You were just remarking on what online forums said, I don't think you directly said anything about the company itself from what I've seen of those videos...
YES! You handled this well. I have not seen the video in question. I will not click on the link, because I don't want the views to go up and refute your claim that it had only 2000 views.

@AnnaMayEyes Hmmm. I think the "My Balloon Distractions Experience" video by fleeingshangrila might be their attempt at damage control. It was posted Feb 14. When did this call happen? The guy in the video is either not such a good actor, or he is being disingenuous. He just seems fake in my opinion, and it sounds like a bad local ad or cheap infomercial where the fine print reads "dramatization: paid actor". But maybe it's just a coincidence he posted this at the same time the lawyer called.
That is the same impression that I got watching that kid's video. Bad acting, he was also reading a script. I could have made a better video for BD than that kid did.
One word from experience....lawyers are there to make money, bill by the hour, could care less if they win a suit as long as they can bill by the hour...been there done that...not worth the stress....deeper pockets always end up winning. Intimidation sucks this I know...best wishes to you for a solution without lawyers. peace
He's made "ill-legitimate" claims of others, so why is it so difficult to comprehend someone else doing that to him? You're telling me it's healthy for a middle aged man to make annoying videos on youtube for a living? to make what, like 20 budks off a video? Really? So it's safe to assume he's a great guy right? You're getting upset over me calling him fat, but you're missing my point. Look at what he's doing.
@babyhans727 Do you not know where the reply button is???
In the years that I've been watching this guy make videos about other people, he has only attacked a person's behavior, never their physical characteristics over a disagreement, or made any other kind of ill-legitimate claim such as them being poor, or a bum, or a white trash loser, which in so many words is you were claiming him to be. Fat, was not the only thing you were calling him. Look back at what you were saying pal.
@babyhans727 "Oh? You don't think that Obama is the worst president we've ever had? Well you don't know nuthin, 'cause you're just a fat pig!" Do you see how silly that is? Do you get the point now?
I understand what you're trying to say Jedi, but he's going about it the wrong way. There's a difference between genuinely warning people then to act out in this manner.
And he has to bring down other companies to make himself get more attntn via youtube to make a living? Bc no one in real society would ever give him the time of day nor have they ever, hence he's acting like a 15 year old rebelling against their parents. He is not a role model, he's trying to exploit others at his own gain bc he HAS NO LIFE
Ok, I have nothing against anyone else on here, and if I offended anyone other than HC I am sorry. However, how are these videos considered him to be working class American? He has no life, oh no wait Im sorry, he has a neat bedroom and is a vegan (doesn't show). He chose a "job" to be a nuisance and posing to portray the underdog activist, when in actuality, it is TRULY transparent, he has instigated the whole situation
@babyhans727 If you're going to make an argument against someone for something that they are doing, the best way to do it, is to NOT make ill-legitimate claims and assumptions about them, when you don't even know a damn thing about that person you having an argument with. Otherwise, all you're really doing is being a bully. Second, he's only been a vegan for a few years. He was A LOT rounder before he became vegan, so yes, it will be another few years before he will be down to a healthy size.
GOOD FOR YOU. This is exactly the correct way to deal with people who attempt to privately threaten you. When a person threatened me via PM several months ago, I immediately made a video publicizing the threat and I declared that I would not be intimidated. This JERK you are dealing with is utter SCUM to raise the prospect of using his great wealth in an attempt to silence a working class American like you, a man whose attempts to better himself and help others in the process is well documented.
HC, where did u mess up in your life that you ended up as a mid 30s obese loser that has to post negative things about a balloon co? I highly doubt it was your parents fault (u prolly live w/em now). It most likely had to do with the fact u had no talent in your life, u ate your emotions and now ur a slob that can't even make it out of his house w/ the exception of food runs to mickey d's. Ur not funny nor witty, just look like that pathetic guy that'll do anything for attention.
@babyhans727 Wow, the fallacies you're making about this guy only goes to show how very little you know about him... either because you are a total noob or you just simply don't care.
1. this guy doesn't live with his parents. As far as any of his fan base knows, he hasn't had anything to do with any member of his family for quite some time, especially his father. He's already explained the reason why in a few videos. Now why would he be living with them if they still aren't getting along?
@JediTat 6. And yes, you are correct that this guy does quite often make videos just to earn some laughs, but tell me, what exactly is the difference between what he's doing and what you are doing? You're just a troll doing the exact same thing... drawing attention to yourself at the expense of making someone else look bad. Congrats.
@babyhans727 2. That "slob" happens to actually be very neat. He has shown us several times in past videos other parts of the home he lives, such as his bedroom, his living room, and kitchen, and from what I can tell, they all looked pretty clean and well kept to me.
3. Have you heard of this man's other channel, called TheHealthyChannel? If so, then I imagine that you are very much well aware that HappyCabbie is a vegan. Vegans don't eat at McDonald's.
@babyhans727 4. He man CAN walk. He may be obese, but he's not super morbidly obese. There is a difference, and there are real life documentary shows based on this issue.
5. The reason why HC feels the need to post negative videos about this company is so that he can warn anyone who might be interested in either working for the them or hiring them for a gig. Somehow, I'd doubt this man would lie, considering he has shown us some proof. Would you rather be warned, or learn the hard way?
Where is the video? However if you did say something that is not true about their company and they really wanted to sue you I think they could. There is a difference between opinion, or passing something as a fact.... either or.. this looks interesting.

Eeeeeeehhhhh.... I'd be careful here happy. Losing a defamation lawsuit could suck. Even defending yourself in a lawsuit sucks. Lawyers are expensive, even if you win.
WOW I got a whole new respect for Cabbie after this. Way to go. Stand up! Fuck him! Let him sue... and he won't (or he could try and it would get laughed out). There is no case. I had never seen the video until now. Hearing this call first I thought it was much worse. After watching it, this is all really laughable.
@happycabbie, companies still commit fraud regardless they pay taxes..employers still don't pay their employees their legal entitlements..companies still avoid paying taxes and running off with clients money..no one has been successfully sued on youtube.
HC, on video here your choppers (and gums) are always looking *gorgeous*. The most photogenic mouth I've seen yet on youtube. I think that's why - this once - you're drawing these bewildered comments. A chip of tomato skin or something is trying to upstage you here.
Even if they had the money to sue, which given the size of the company they probably don't have on hand, they'd probably make less in damages than they'd pay in legal fees. What a very stupid business man. #1 Rule of business: shut your mouth until its absolutely necessary, then say nothing at all. Let your financial statements do the talking. And boasting about Section S incorporation is also funny. It just means they don't have the margins to pay federal income tax and pas that to sharholders.
LOLsuit....nice. XD A fucking balloon company??? Seriously? They would be dumb to sue you, because if they lost, then they would have to pay TONS of money.
The CEO doesn't understand that the bad publicity generated by trying to censor criticism will cause far more damage to profit than will be generated by a successful suit, and that's assuming you will win, which is somewhat doubtful. Do a cost/benefit analysis, you aren't winning anything. Thumbs up Cabby.
@DarkFantasyvids Well, he clearly regrets ever getting into this tangle and tries to estrange this conversation from anything that has to do with his company. Wouldve been a smart move, wouldnt it have been for the fact that he rambled on for three or four minutes about his company prior to the fact, and then said out loud "You cant prove that I did this!"
The serious business world can be so childish sometimes...
@l33th0b0 I think you'd rather have him be a transvestite than be hurt in any way. I guess I can sympathize. Although I do like the taste of blood, albeit my own... Guess I'm just twisted that way.
Perhaps this guy could learn a lesson or two from the Waterworks4U fiasco? As well, as to point out that he may want to learn about teh Streisand Effect & fast. If one video goes down, many will take its place, something that Waterworks4U, did not quite understand so well. This really should be known to ANY person or persons thinking about/making these kind of threats.
Happy Cabbie: Kicking Ass & Taking Names! You tell these clowns Cabbie! Wow, when will they learn that intimidation tactics DO NOT work?! When they become so butthurt over such a video as yours, to go as far as to censor and threaten to sue, you KNOW they have something to hide. If I were them, I'd rather worry if it were more than one person exposing their fraud. Must say, it was quite clever of you to record the conversation, this made for teh Lulz...& that my friend, I needed. Thank you! :)
Let me get this straight... the founder and CEO calls.... hmmm wouldn't he just have his attorney send a cease and desist registered letter?? Why would he open himself up to criticism and possible counter suit from things he may have said to you.?
I've been retained by Dewey Cheatem and Howe to tell you we're going to garnish your main source of income, that's right, we're coming after your mantits! :-)
It would be an insult to weasels to call this guy a weasel.
Yeah, at this point he's more interested in intimidation tactics than action. Like some 12 year old in a starter jacket threatening he's gonna kick your ass "next time he sees you." As opposed to right this moment.
If he were serious, someone would have just come around and served you papers.
Btw he's doing quite a good job. He's just laid the mental groundwork in the viewer by suggesting that; "Everyone who speaks out against me is a sex offender or a drug addict." Plus he's he's trying to imply YT is on his side. I could tear apart what this guy is doing line by line. No wonder he managed to go in and shark all the business away from smaller competitors.
Wow, what a dick PR move. Seriously, that guy just made his company look like complete asshats. Good job in dealing with this. They don't have shit on you.
Fake call is fake. The guy doesn't even understand how dual party consent works and he acts as if he has grounds for defamation which is an infamously difficult thing to get a judgment for? Does he really think your video wrongfully caused his buisness to lose 30,000$?
Obviously he doesn't know the law. There is nothing about that video that says "This is true" but rather "this is what I have been told." the best he could do is ask you for the names of people you don't know who actually said something on those sites.
Also, awesome... I don't generally agree with the things you say, but this is spot on.
um he needs to go watch that video again never did you ever personally say anything bad about this company. you directed viewers to sites of others who have given their opinions of the company. Now if it is because of the thumbnail you used he should have just asked you to change it. Well I hope everything works out for you,
They should put a picture of the expression on this guy's face next to the definition for 'frustration' in Merriam Webster. It was so satisfying to hear the life go completely out of him every time you told him to go ahead and sue. He had absolutely no idea what to do or say and it was a great listen.
In the UK if you loose your law suit then you have to pay the costs of the person you are suing. If you win a desultary amount (say ten bucks) you have to each pay your own expenses. This cuts out a lot of this shit. Having said that, the guy could have tried a different approach, say to convince you he had a good company and ask you to give him a shout out. Instead he got Streisand Effect
If I'm not mistaken we can record calls here without the other person knowing. Still, it's a nice ass cover to inform him of the recording. Funny too how he kinds of stammers when he realizes his tactics aren't working. Makes me almost think he's not who he claims to be.
Wow that guy was totaly intimidating... like a tiny, frail loudmouth, yelling from behind his two buldower like body guards... until he discoverd that they were just cardboard cutouts.
GOOD ON YOU CABBIE!

@babyhans727 "Oh? You don't think that Obama is the worst president we've ever had? Well you don't know nuthin, 'cause you're just a fat pig!" Do you see how silly that is? Do you get the point now?

I understand what you're trying to say Jedi, but he's going about it the wrong way. There's a difference between genuinely warning people then to act out in this manner.
babyhans727 1 year ago
And he has to bring down other companies to make himself get more attntn via youtube to make a living? Bc no one in real society would ever give him the time of day nor have they ever, hence he's acting like a 15 year old rebelling against their parents. He is not a role model, he's trying to exploit others at his own gain bc he HAS NO LIFE
babyhans727 1 year ago
Ok, I have nothing against anyone else on here, and if I offended anyone other than HC I am sorry. However, how are these videos considered him to be working class American? He has no life, oh no wait Im sorry, he has a neat bedroom and is a vegan (doesn't show). He chose a "job" to be a nuisance and posing to portray the underdog activist, when in actuality, it is TRULY transparent, he has instigated the whole situation
babyhans727 1 year ago
@babyhans727 If you're going to make an argument against someone for something that they are doing, the best way to do it, is to NOT make ill-legitimate claims and assumptions about them, when you don't even know a damn thing about that person you having an argument with. Otherwise, all you're really doing is being a bully. Second, he's only been a vegan for a few years. He was A LOT rounder before he became vegan, so yes, it will be another few years before he will be down to a healthy size.

GOOD FOR YOU. This is exactly the correct way to deal with people who attempt to privately threaten you. When a person threatened me via PM several months ago, I immediately made a video publicizing the threat and I declared that I would not be intimidated. This JERK you are dealing with is utter SCUM to raise the prospect of using his great wealth in an attempt to silence a working class American like you, a man whose attempts to better himself and help others in the process is well documented.

HC, where did u mess up in your life that you ended up as a mid 30s obese loser that has to post negative things about a balloon co? I highly doubt it was your parents fault (u prolly live w/em now). It most likely had to do with the fact u had no talent in your life, u ate your emotions and now ur a slob that can't even make it out of his house w/ the exception of food runs to mickey d's. Ur not funny nor witty, just look like that pathetic guy that'll do anything for attention.
babyhans727 1 year ago
@babyhans727 Wow, the fallacies you're making about this guy only goes to show how very little you know about him... either because you are a total noob or you just simply don't care.
1. this guy doesn't live with his parents. As far as any of his fan base knows, he hasn't had anything to do with any member of his family for quite some time, especially his father. He's already explained the reason why in a few videos. Now why would he be living with them if they still aren't getting along?
JediTat 1 year ago
@JediTat 6. And yes, you are correct that this guy does quite often make videos just to earn some laughs, but tell me, what exactly is the difference between what he's doing and what you are doing? You're just a troll doing the exact same thing... drawing attention to yourself at the expense of making someone else look bad. Congrats.
JediTat 1 year ago
@babyhans727 2. That "slob" happens to actually be very neat. He has shown us several times in past videos other parts of the home he lives, such as his bedroom, his living room, and kitchen, and from what I can tell, they all looked pretty clean and well kept to me.
3. Have you heard of this man's other channel, called TheHealthyChannel? If so, then I imagine that you are very much well aware that HappyCabbie is a vegan. Vegans don't eat at McDonald's.
JediTat 1 year ago
@babyhans727 4. He man CAN walk. He may be obese, but he's not super morbidly obese. There is a difference, and there are real life documentary shows based on this issue.
5. The reason why HC feels the need to post negative videos about this company is so that he can warn anyone who might be interested in either working for the them or hiring them for a gig. Somehow, I'd doubt this man would lie, considering he has shown us some proof. Would you rather be warned, or learn the hard way?

Where is the video? However if you did say something that is not true about their company and they really wanted to sue you I think they could. There is a difference between opinion, or passing something as a fact.... either or.. this looks interesting.

Even if they had the money to sue, which given the size of the company they probably don't have on hand, they'd probably make less in damages than they'd pay in legal fees. What a very stupid business man. #1 Rule of business: shut your mouth until its absolutely necessary, then say nothing at all. Let your financial statements do the talking. And boasting about Section S incorporation is also funny. It just means they don't have the margins to pay federal income tax and pas that to sharholders.

The CEO doesn't understand that the bad publicity generated by trying to censor criticism will cause far more damage to profit than will be generated by a successful suit, and that's assuming you will win, which is somewhat doubtful. Do a cost/benefit analysis, you aren't winning anything. Thumbs up Cabby.

This really should be known to ANY person or persons thinking about/making these kind of threats.

it is not defamation of you can reasonably infer that the content of the statement was personal information.
another hurdle posed to defamation lawsuits is that you have to prove that the other party said a statement they knew was false.

Obviously he doesn't know the law. There is nothing about that video that says "This is true" but rather "this is what I have been told." the best he could do is ask you for the names of people you don't know who actually said something on those sites.

In the UK if you loose your law suit then you have to pay the costs of the person you are suing. If you win a desultary amount (say ten bucks) you have to each pay your own expenses. This cuts out a lot of this shit. Having said that, the guy could have tried a different approach, say to convince you he had a good company and ask you to give him a shout out. Instead he got Streisand Effect

If I'm not mistaken we can record calls here without the other person knowing. Still, it's a nice ass cover to inform him of the recording. Funny too how he kinds of stammers when he realizes his tactics aren't working. Makes me almost think he's not who he claims to be.
