Jennifer Robinson AKA Jennifer Beck, Jennifer Wall and Givenright.com will scam you out of money. She runs/owners an internet adoption research site. She prays on those whom are looking for birth parents or children given up for adoption.
To hire her it cost $200.00 + dollars. She will tell you how many people she has located and make you believe that she is able to find who you are looking for. Within 24-48 hours she calls you and tells you she has great news she has located them and has already made contact. She goes on and on about how the person you are looking for really wants contact but first you have to pay another $200+ dollars before she can give you any information. You get so excited so you pay...
She will then call you back telling you that birth mom/ adoptee called her back and wants NO contact and yelled and screamed at her and said they would sue... the lies go on and on! She will give you a name but the name is made up... I was told that my birth mother's name was sarah but after contacting another search group find out that my birth mother's name is really Julie. She lies! Don't use her! My birth mother was never contacted by her and was VERY happy to have contact!
Save yourself the tears! Because it hurt really bad to hear my birthmother wanted nothing to do with me and then find out she really did!
I have a listed of people right now who have been scammed by her... Stay away!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Marie,
I will say this, I do think that Jennifer owes you all the information she found. Whether it turned out to be accurate or not, you paid for a service and you should have something to show for it. I was disappointed to see her write (again, I do not know who is acting as whom anymore) that she is not going to take phone calls or reply to e-mails. The simple thing would be to turn over her findings to each of you. That is just my opinion. As someone who had a successful search, she had information that I wanted a copy of as well and I never did get it. That is a petty statement for someone who had a successful search, but I would have liked the information as well. To answer your question, yes, I was disappointed by the response.
Thank you, Jason. I appreciate the fact that you can be open minded enough to see both sides.
Bonnie, we haven't heard from you since Friday... just wondering... do YOU see our side yet?
I have definite proof that Jennifer Robinson SCAMMED me. I paid Jennifer the first payment to start my search. She called me right away(after the check cleared) to say she had found my son born on 9-2-1967. As soon as I sent her the second payment she would send me the name and info. I was so elated that I sent the second payment Western Union. After she picked up the money she sent me a name and address of a boy born 9-2-1967. When I asked her for evidence that this was my son she sent an email which will be her downfall. The email stated that she found this boy's name in the birth index with my name as the mother. After that email she said our contract was fulfilled and the company was dissolved. HA. I continued my search and received verifiable information that my son was born on 9-8-1968. This proves that Jennifer made up a name and lied about finding my son on a birth index with me as the mother. I can forgive myself for not remembering the date that my son was born on 41 years ago. I can never forgive Jennifer for the pain she has caused me and all of the others she has scammed. Jennifer is able to complete some searches. It is the searches that she can't complete that she collects the money for anyway. My case is unmistakable proof that she is lying for the money. I will not stop until she is in jail.
I second that, Geene! Funny how the "Jennifer supporters" that were so determined to support her on here disappeared after they saw Jennifer's response! She flat out said on here that she will NOT provide me with that phone number. Honestly, I never expeceted to get it because I KNOW that she did NOT speak to my birthmother at that phone number! All she managed to do is make herself look even worse on here! And she thinks we should take an IQ test? hahahahahahahaha! I don't mean to laugh, but I gotta laugh about something after all of this!
Ok Jennifer. Three of us (me, you and Alicia) all know that the email containing my birthmom's marriage information came from Alicia's personal email and not from you or Givenright.com because you would not respond to me anymore. You attached givenright.com to it after I won the Paypal dispute and filed the BBB report. Three of us know that I gave the information to Alicia after completing my search myself.
Regardless...here's your chance to rectify my case. You claimed that a specific person from Cleveland was my biological father. You gave me a name (well actually 2, but I know it gets hard to remember a name when it's made up, so I'll let it slide). I would like 3 things from you:
1. The last name of my "biological" grandparents you spoke with in Mississippi (Sierra and Ali).
2. The phone number of my biological grandparents that you spoke with (you said you spoke with my grandmother-I have that in writing...remember? You said she was rude and spoke broken English).
3. My biological's father's information that you promised including driver's license info and criminal history (you promised this in an email)
If you really did not scam me, provide me with the three things above that you promised me. I am sure your supporters would agree that this would help prove you're not a liar and that you have some compassion. And since you have the information at hand (you wrote that it's all in a file), I'm sure I can expect it within a day or two via email. You have my email address, right? If not, let me know.
I'm so excited to receive this information! Finally, you will give me the closure I have wanted for the past year! Thank you, Jennifer! I just know you will not ignore this request. That would only confirm what has been said...
And please, Jennifer, while you are at it, that phone number to my birth mom in PA? Like Judy just said, this would prove you are not a lier, correct?
Here's a story for y'all! On July 2, I received two emails about one hour apart from each other, from two different email addresses. They both referenced something I wrote on this site. One said that they knew who was threatening Jennifer, but didn't mention the person's name so I emailed back asking who it was so I could ask them to stop and got no response. The other one said something about a person with a screen name of "NO THANKS" and it didn't really make sense, so I replied to that one asking what they were referring to... also got no response.
Well, within an hour of posting the above post, I received an email from both of those email addresses, within 5 minutes of each other, both with the most disgusting things, referring to sex! Very confused, I did some research, and guess where the email addresses originated from? REDMOND, WA. For those of you who may not know, Redmond is located just 30 miles from Federal Way where Jennifer is. WA is a very large state... is that just a coincidence? I doubt it!
First of all, this person must be a total idiot because they left the ORIGINAL messages attached to the email... otherwise, I wouldn't have even realized after this long that they were the same people. And second... the ONLY person I know in WA is Jennifer Robinson.
Does anyone else find it interesting that these two emails came from WA... AND use the same IP addresses?
The emails are too sick to post, however, I'll be happy to forward them to whoever asks! Just send me an email... you can look up the details on the email addresses yourself or I can forward the report to you too...
And Jennifer thinks she's smarter than me? Yea, OK! I'm not stupid enough to send her emails from my email let alone one's that I can make up and that can be traced! LOL
Marie,
I just read your post and you are really crazy I think, Redmond is about fourty five minutes away from here and I have not been there and about 8 months this state is very large, what are you trying to state that I wrote you those e-mails my computer is in Federal Way Washington and I do not know who would live in Redmond, but, I did recently have a client that lives about ten minutes from there, she is a very nice lady maybe she wrote you. You should turn the e-mail into your service provider and they can tell you who is doing those e-mails and were they came from but, it was not me. Are you so rapped up in bashing me that you are just looking for other things to add. I think so, but, do not worry I could care less what you write about me.
Any way Judy I am going to send ya a private e-mail and you can call me we will talk, your case means a lot to me and I will help you in any way I can.
Have a nice night to all of you! Marie, again no one should be sending you ugly e-mails about me, I would not like that on anyone.. Turn around is not fair play when it comes to how I live my life, so, do not worry I will not and have not done that to you.
Jennifer,
Thank you for your response. I would be happy to communicate via email. Due to past experiences, I will not talk via telephone. I'm sure you can understand why, but I do appreciate the effort. I look forward to your email. When might I expect it? All I need is the information you already have and a phone conversation is not necessary. In fact, I prefer to have everything in writing, this way I can make sure I have proper spellings and there won't be conflict over whether I "misheard" something or not. Thanks!
Marie,
It is ironic that of all the 50 states, those 2 emails came from WA, especially considering the circumstances. Can you turn it over to the service provider? It would be great to find out who sent it and what the connection is. As we both know, our situations have taught us how to do searches. I'm sure once we know a bit more, we can figure the rest out.
Jennifer,
I am so very glad to see you are willing to work with those of us that feel slighted. After reading your response to Judy I am very hopeful you can give us our information also...
Since you told us you spoke to the person who's name is on Danny's birth certificate, can you please send me her name? That way there will be no more question that you did in fact complete the case and maybe we can begin the healing process.
Also, I have been in contact with Tammara and she too would love the name of her birth mother since you cashed her check and then were too "sick" to respond to her calls or emails, then "went out of business" and were unable to work on it further.
This is so great Jennifer that you are finally going to make it right with those of us that have waited so long and needed answers and closure...
Like Judy, I thank you in advance for doing the right thing and sending all the information to us by email.
Erin
Yes, WA state is VERY large... which is why I find it very interesting that those emails came from a place just 32.9 miles from you to be exact! You have already admitted on here that you sent two people to me to lie to me, so lord only knows what else you would do!
Judy,
I certainly will turn them over and see if anything can be done. I truly hope you get the information from Jennifer that she has claimed to have had for a very long time. I know it's been much anticipated! Let me know how it goes :)
Jennifer,
You are so willing to give Judy the information she's requesting... why won't you give me the ONE phone number that I've requested that you claimed belongs to my birth mother? It would certainly end ALL of this if I call that number and my birth mother is on the other end of the phone, don't you think?
Jennifer,
You gave me the name of a boy that you said you found on the birth index and confirmed as my son because my name was on the index as the mother. How did you find and confirm this for the incorrect birthdate? I notice you never respond to any of MY posts.
Sorry Guys been away for while. Yes Marie, Jennifer took us for two searches. She even lied when I knew I had found the name of my sister in law's birth mother and told us that wasn't it. Well my sister in law has had several personal visits with her birth mother in the past month, and I can assure you we had it right. She told us it was wrong, but for more money, she could find the right one.
Jason Holder-Here's a news flash...Jennifer is ALWAYS sick. It's her MO when she doesn't want to, or can't complete a search.
Bonnie/Floria-The reason Jennifer calls you when you're sick is because you're an insider...She has to keep the few she has.
Hmmmmm - am I the only one that finds it extremely odd that this Jennifer person claimed she "was no longer in business", yet the givenright.com website is STILL actively trying to solicit business and payments?
Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to Jennifer and Givenright, Dave! We've heard just about everything at this point! From the company has a new owner to the business is shut down to comcast is down, sick kids, sick herself, diseases out the ying yang, lost phone numbers, switched at birth, your birthmoter threatened to sue me if I contact her again, my grandmother died, someone switched your records, I hurt my eye, my best friend's having problems, my birthmom stole money from me, someone hacked into my computer and my email and my website, your birthmother has dimensia, someone is doing identity theft with your birthmothers name... And that's just the list I came up with off the top of my head... I didn't even have to give it any thought! If I did, I'm sure I could tell you more!
Or you could find more excuses listed in the stories posted on GivenRightVictims.com. Hope you are not a victim of this scam? If so... I'm very sorry to hear that!
Hey fellow victims... thank god we are not holding our breath... AGAIN... for that information from Jennifer, huh? I didn't get that phone number... Judy, get anything? Erin? Geene? I don't think so!
I got my info from Jennifer but it was a lie. She never responds to my posts. She knows her actions with me are the mistake she made that will put her away.
Nope, nothing here either. I'm still waiting patiently. Been waiting for 1 year, and 5 months now. I sure hope I hear something soon so she can prove us wrong and show everyone that she never scammed anyone and did in fact finish all the searches she has claimed to.
Erin
have you guys contacted lawyers? i'm not sure if this would be a civil or criminal case, or both.
Wow.. I feel for you guys, my parents gave me up as a child, I speak to them now, but I dont think my father is my father, so I know the pain you guys are going through, but remember that ...Evil is always sent back to the sender.. who says the FBI is not watching this Jennifer woman already.
I truly wish that a lawyer would take our cases but unfortunately, Jennifer Robinson doesn't have any type of insurance, nor does she have any money even know she claims to have helped so many people (which would put her in the 50k+ a year bracket). Even know we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we would win our cases, any lawyer knows that he/she or us victims would not see a penny of it. So attorneys are not apt to taking our cases unless we pay them thousands of dollars to do so upfront! If we had that kind of money, we would have just paid an attorney to find our birth parents for us to begin with!
That's how Jennifer can continue to fraud people... she has it in her mind that no one can do anything to stop her. Although she has underestimated me because I WILL find a way! I'm not a quitter!
And an update for all those people who read Jennifer's last post thinking that she's such a great person and she's going to send us all of our information... She only wrote that to make you believe that she was trying to do good. NOT ONE of us has received an email from her yet and it's been over 24 hours since she posted that! WE ARE ALL STILL IN THE DARK! And there's over 20 of us that she could have chosen from to get started on her quest to prove herself... NOT ONE email from her to any of us!
Marie,
You just keep acting crazy, no one has written my e-mail for responds or for questions. You want to act as if I have fraud people first you say I do not respond to you then when I do you make up more lies and crazyness about me, you are truely unbelieveable. You will be in the Dark because you have dug your hole there by saying lies and posted crap that is not true about me. Hello that was 20 hours away and no one has writeen me to as for anything and I have responded on her. Marie you can not bother to write me I would not help you if my toes were on fire after all the lies and things that you have written about me. I think it is truely unbelieveable that you would set back and say I do not respond to you and then when I do you continue to go on and on. I do not have to prove myself to anyone I know who I am and what I have done for many people so, you can go on and on and bash away. Check my e-mail Marie I am sure one of your friends are you have the password to it.
OMG and you say the I'M the crazy one, Jennifer>>? Read your own post... you told Judy that you would like to finish her case. You told her you were sending her a private email. You should read your own dam post before posting again and making yourself out to be more of an idiot than you already are!
As for your password... I don't have your password and don't know anyone who does. Be sure if I did I would be sending people emails from it saying "Givenright is a scam."
As for your responses... you just keep responding the same bull crap that you are not scamming anyone... why not try ANSWERING SOME OF THE MANY QUESTIONS posted to you on here? Why not post FACTS about the cases to prove yourself? Why do you keep avoiding the FACTS about what you did to the 20+ people that you have frauded? Its because you don't have the answers, Jennifer. You can't explain yourself. Because you ARE a lier! And a fraud, and a cheat, and you have absolutely NO CLUE about any of these cases other then the lies you told to get the money!
As for not giving me the information I paid you for... I knew I wouldn't get it anyway. Because YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHO MY BIRTH MOTHER IS! And as for your toes being on fire... is that another excuse you used to avoid someone you scammed?
You are a fraud, a scam artist, and a despicable human being! I will stop you, Jennifer. You just wait and see... I WILL STOP YOU!
PS- "I, as a Christian person who attended 12 years of catholic school and believe in God, attest to God that everything I write on here is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God!"

Jennifer,
I would like to request the information that I paid for and you told me you have. Mainly the phone number to my birth mother that you stated you "lost" and needed to wait for your phone records to obtain. Your friend on complaintsboard made it very clear that you now have that phone record and I would like to request that phone number please. This would prove that you are not a fraud.
Marie Sperling
Jennifer,
I am the one you never respond to. I have posted irrefutable evidence that you have scammed me and you have never addressed them. The fact that you intentionally avoid my evidence tells me even more that you are a fraud.
Sorry, to use such big words, perhaps, that's why you don't respond to my posts. Maybe, you just don't understand them. Since I utilize proper grammer and correct spelling I can see how you could have trouble.
I actually received a response... NOT the information I've requested though:

Thank you for writing our company we would be more then willing to review
your case and try and help you locate your birth mother, our search
process can take up to 180 days and at that point we have the right to
dismiss your case. We would like to help you in reviewing your case and
moving forward on helping you locate your birth mother.
So here is my next email... I think it's pretty clear as to what I am asking for... anyone disagree?

Jennifer,
Thank you for finally replying after all these months.
I never received or signed a contract with GivenRight so I am not aware of the 180 days you speak of. In addition, the 180 day time frame was never discussed with me.
You took my money under the no-find/no-fee claim (at which time your policy was to NOT charge me until you indeed found my birth mother). You told me you have already found her and spoke to her when you charged me, although I have yet to be provided with the information I paid for. At this time I am simply requesting the information for which GivenRight/Jennifer K. Robinson has already received payment (the phone number that was supposedly called by Jennifer Robinson in Pennsylvania belonging to my birth mother). I do not require or need any further assistance from GivenRight, only that information that I have already paid for.
Sincerely,
Marie Sperling

actually you can take someone to court without a Lawyer. small claims court. you can check the amount you can sue for in your state.. If Im not mistaken it was $5, 0000.00 if you get a judgment against someone, and they do not pay you back. it not only goes on their credit, you can start attaching wages, bank accounts and etc..
She is in WA state, I'm in Florida and all of the other victims are scattered all over the country... Not sure how we could pull that off :(
Oh Jennifer,
At least you're consistent with your lack of follow through, lies, and crushing people's spirits. While I didn't expect any less from you, it still upsets me. Let's recap shall we? Maybe that will help...
3 days ago on complaintsboard.com YOU posted,
"Any way Judy I am going to send ya a private e-mail and you can call me we will talk, your case means a lot to me and I will help you in any way I can."
To clarify, you wrote YOU would send ME a private e-mail and I can call YOU. I then responded that same day and wrote,
"Thank you for your response. I would be happy to communicate via email. Due to past experiences, I will not talk via telephone. I'm sure you can understand why, but I do appreciate the effort. I look forward to your email. When might I expect it?"
To clarify, I wrote I would not speak with you via telephone and looked forward to YOUR email and asked when I could expect it.
Based on what YOU wrote on this public formum, YOU were to email ME.
So, for those of you following this insane story that is worthy of an Oprah episode, you may wonder why I am now upset over "poor, good and kind" Jennifer obviously just making a mistake. Here's why: (follow the email trail)

Judy,
I have been unable to reach Jennifer since yesterday, but from the appearance of the previous email she was under the assumption that you would be calling her. I expect her to contact you on Monday, as that is when installation is scheduled for. If you do not hear from her by that time, please let me know immediately.

Again, to clarify, on June 20, 2008 (yes, over a year ago), I got an email from Jennifer stating SHE would CALL ME to give me the names of my biological family. I sent a follow up email stating that I was happy SHE was going to call ME. I waited by my cell phone for over 24 hours, with butterflies in my stomach because any moment Jennifer was going to call me and I would know something about myself. The call never came. Then I get an email later on June 21 from Jennifer saying that I never called HER and I would now have to wait until MONDAY to get the information. She never called or emailed. I filed complaints later that following week.
Jennifer,
Cut the BS. It's ridulous and it's only making me angrier. You pulled this EXACT same crap on me twice now and it's in writing both times. There is no reason for you to communicate with me other then to send the information I requested on this forum. You said you have it...it's in writing. Open your email, copy and paste what you have (Sierra and Ali's last name, phone number, my mother's year book picture, and my father's information) and hit the send button. My email address is the same it has always been and is now posted on this forum. In the amount of time it takes you to LIE, you could send one simple email containing information you already have.
Beside, Jennifer, if you REALLY wanted to fix this and the information you had was in fact true, you would not wait for anyone to take the first step to fix something YOU did. You would have emailed me, Erin, Geene, Marie, and everyone else all of their information already without ANY of us having to take the first step.
By your actions (or lack of actions) since your post 3 days ago, I think you have proven that you do in fact really screw people the way we have all claimed.
Here's what will happen next:
1. She will claim the following: her Comcast was down, she was in the hospital, it wasn't her that wrote that, her kids are sick, etc. or,
2. She will say that since I have called her a liar, she will not work with me anymore, or,
3. She will continue to make it appear that she is interested in helping while doing nothing to help.
Should we take a vote? Who votes 1? 2? 3?
Sorry for the dripping sarcasm...I'm so tired of Jennifer's lies.
Judy
By the way, I think I'll receive excuse number 2.
My vote... Hmmm...
Since she's exhausted all of the excuses in #1 with me... PLUS we can add... I hurt my eye, I had to go way across town to the library to work, someone hacked into my website, someone is doing identity theft with your birth nother's name, the woman in vitals must have given me the wrong name, and we can't forget the big one- I LOST THE PHONE NUMBER TO YOUR BIRTHMOM... I don't think she would try to use any more excuses on me! lol. Well, then again... she COULD say that her dog ate the phone records that her friend Bonnie so willingly told us she has now! haha
As for #2- She's already posted on here that she wouldn't help me if her toes were on fire because of all of the 'lies' I'm telling about her. What she doesn't realize is that I don't want or need her HELP... I only want the information I paid for that she claims she already has! That phone number would prove that she is not a fraud, right? So why keep it from me? Because she knows it will in fact prove that she IS a fraud!
She's already tried #3 with me too... as you can see by the emails copied and posted on here yesterday. But again, I only want the information she claimed to already have... that we all know she can't provide because IT WAS MADE UP!
So, my vote will be for #4- For Jennifer Robinson to rot in jail and never be able to scam people again! She refuses to come clean on her misdoings and JAIL is where she will end up!
Ya know, Judy, what I just found that was very amusing is that Jennifer used the "I thought YOU were going to contact ME" excuse on Heather too... a couple of times... in writing! She wrote Heather that she would call her the following day with her info, Heather responded that she was looking forward to the call, and then the call never came. When Heather called the day after, she was told that Jennifer thought that Heather would call HER and then of course, she didn't have the information in front of her. She's really running out of excuses, huh?
I think we can ALL agree that this was a very well used excuse!
Oh I also got the "what happened, you were supposed to call me" excuse.. which is funny knowing that we were sitting on pins and needles waiting for her to call us back with any news or more information after being told she was calling my husband's birth mother. Like I wouldn't have called if I was told to in this situation.
I also heard, "I was in the hospital", "my kids are ill", "the internet was down". So all these things must happen every month, this was over a year ago.
I don't know why she won't respond to me, other than she knows I can disprove anything she can come up with. Every time I come back here I get more saddened thinking about all the people that were put in the same place mentally and emotionally that Jennifer put my husband. The lowest place of his life, feeling rejected and abandoned for the second time in his life by his mother. I am so thankful we were able to find her later and she in reality wanted a reunion every day for the last 48 years and they both got a "happy ending" but so many are not that lucky, they have paid Jennifer money for lies and pain.
Jennifer, I am asking once again to give ANY OF US a name or anything at all that can show people that you aren't a fraud and that you did in fact finish any one of our searches after we paid the second payment for information you said you had. Come on Jen, just one name, what do you think? Prove us wrong!
Anything?
Erin
I STILL have not gotten a response from my last email to Jennifer Robinson. I thought I was very nice in the email (as you can see because I previously posted it). I even said the word Please!
I also can't help to notice that Bonnie (Floria) has disappeared from this site also... Wonder what happened there? She was so hell bent on defending her "friend" until she looked at my information that she got from Jennifer.
I can't wait to put this woman away for a very long time! There are so many HONEST and CARING people out there willing to actually DO the work. Even search angels that do it for FREE! It will be no loss to the adoption community to do without Jennifer Robinson and her scams!
