JOJO MARENGO Ripoff? Impossible.
Scott Rose is a harasser who does not accept the truth of the matter. Extortion is his game.

In October 2007 Scott Rose approached Umbrella publishing on line and offered to sell them articles on caviar and wine. Umbrella publishing asked for a sample of the articles. He sent only one article titled Caviar. Umbrella publishing agreed to buy the article and printed it. Scot Rose was paid the agreed upon price in full. He never sent Umbrella Publishing any other articles.

Umbrella publishing did not have any agreement written or oral with Scott Rose for any other articles and none was used.

Scott Rose was asked to provide a release from the previous publisher allowing the use of the caviar article as well as any other articles Umbrella publishing would consider purchasing from him. Scott Rose responded with the following: ” Note that I do not at this time have resale rights to this piece.”
Scott Rose did not send the releases showing that he has the right to resell any pieces. Printing any of these articles would have exposed Umbrella publishing to possible lawsuits form the legal owners of the articles. Therefore, Umbrella Publishing terminated any future relationship with Scott Rose.

Although he has been paid in full by Umbrella Publishing for the printed article, Scott Rose keeps harassing Umbrella Publishing to pay him for articles that Umbrella publishing did not print. He has been blogging unprofessional postings filled with vulgarities and outrageous claims. Scott Rose's ploys are hoping to blackmail Umbrella Publishing to pay him for articles that they did not contract nor print.

Umbrella Publishing does not have an address for Scott Rose to serve him legal harassment, blackmail and extortion summons.

Publishers beware of Scott Rose. Dealing with this, would be extortionist, might cost you dearly

In October 31st 2008, the Marengo family started World Art Foundation (WAF) in Orange County California. the Marengo's are residents of Orange County California since1970 where they publish 21 luxury magazines under the name of Umbrella publishing.
www.umbrellapublishing.com

In January 31 2009, Umbrella Publishing launched the World Art Foundation website to the public and announced that in June 7-9, 2009 WAF Expo 09 will take place in Brea California.

On February 1st 2009 World Art Foundation started sites on Facebook and My Space. By March 2009 a month later, over 3,000 artists from all over the world joined World Art Foundation (WAF) sites.

In March World Art Foundation finalized the legal documents and applications as a non profit organization LLC as a service organization to help artists find galleries and agents to promote their work. The documents are presently with the California Secretary of State.

A man living in South Africa, started a negative campaign posting false allegations on Brajane's blog (a woman who lives in Belgium and who has a blog on Indian news). This man made many false allegations. Some of the allegations stated that Jojo Marengo and his expo is a scam and that there is no Brea city in California, that there is no Umbrella publications and that the expo is a ploy to scam artists. Also allegations that the Brea Gallery is against WAF and on and on. The attention the South African drew a copy cat blogger from Manchester UK and together continued The attacks until April 2010. All the negative blogs are the work of these 3 people.

On April 10th 2009 WAF opened a 5,100 square feet Gallery in 1555 E Imperial Hwy in the Brea Plaza in the city of Brea. Soon after the negative attacks stopped.

Although the attacks stopped, all blogs got posted on search engines like Google. Unfortunately these posting will always be there as they cannot be removed.

Of course The World Expo 09 took place as scheduled in June 7-9 2009 in Brea, Fullerton and Laguna Beach California, with the participation of over 400 artists from 53 countries in 5 continents. World Expo 09 became the largest expo of this genre ever held in Califonia.

The Mayor of Fullerton issued a proclamation in the name of the city council and the citizens of Fullerton welcoming World Art Foundation to Fullerton. copy of the proclamation onhttp://worldartfoundation.org/Expo_09.html

A city councilwoman form Laguna Beach represented her city at a World Art Foundation preview dinner at Brea's La Vie En Rose restaurant

A fund raiser has held in June 6th at the Miranda Gallery in Laguna Beach to benefit the World Art Foundation sponsor's fund.

World art foundation sponsored all but one of the over 400 artists by paying the $500 for each for the artists' exhibiting fee. Never such generosity was ever extended by a country's cultural ministry or non profit organization for a single event. Actually besides the shipping expense, the artists did not have to pay to exhibit at the world art expo 09 in California.

The Brea Gallery received thousands of emails and calls asking for the location of the World Art Foundations gallery in Brea. They posted on their site a caption asking them to go to our website.

During the expo educational functions by the World Art Foundations took place a the Fullerton Museum

World Art Foundation, presently with over 50,000 artists members in their cyber groups, is considered the world's largest art organization. WAF continues to grow daily. In 2010 Expos are planed in many countries and many states in the US.
