I decided to go on The Velvet Rope forum a place where much of the industry lives. I have seen down right battles in this place so when I posted for information about VMG I was surprised when within a few minutes they pulled the post. This is the email I received shortly after from the board moderator:
From: velvet rope moderator:
I delete all posts about the company here since it always turns into a very non productive conversation. Please communicate directly with the label for your inquiries. They are, apparently, not held in the highest esteem by users here and use this board for their own promotional agendas at times, and those posts too end up deleted.
Next is a former VMG client:
Since you know so much, like Michael, the wife of Dominic John, who blew the lists we sent and began her stupid rampage, anyone who checks the Billboard International and other Buyer's Guides are going to see you for the damned liar and damned fool you really are." farrell the LIAR
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The man is a compulsive liar. First off, read what this lying drunk moron wrote. The whole sentence make no sense.
My wife is named Michal not Michael and she did not receive the "lists" and then proceed to "blow" them, whatever that even means. All the lying scam artist ever sent was the total piece of crap they printed on cheap paper that was nothing more than a pathetic, paltry list of radio stations in Arizona. I paid this scam artist a lot of money to receive a list of some 3,000 stations the LIAR farrell claimed he sent his total piece of crap, "Artist Series", to. I'll bet you this LIAR named farrell never even sent the piece of crap called "Artist Series" to any radio stations at all. The proven LIAR declared he would send me the "total list" and now it's 2004 and I'm still waiting...
farrell the LIAR knows that I will check with the 3,000 stations he claims he sent the artist series cd to and then the jig will be up. So, the LYING scam artist will never even try to fabricate a list with 3,000 stations on it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is farrell proclaiming he would send the "total" list on a VMG message board:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dominic, When I talked last - with the lady who represented you at the time - she confirmed that you had received the station list. I assumed it was the TOTAL list, and obviously she was referring to the ARIZONA list. Even so, the TOTAL list will be on its way asap. If there was a failure, it was mine, and mine alone. "

farrell is nothing more than a delusional cult leader that refuses to tell anyone where his alleged cds can be purchased.
I found this delusional bullsh*t about farrell the LIARon the net years ago:
An unauthorized publication of known, indisputable facts about a Living Legend! This page is incomplete and contains many facts outside the Entertainment Industry. Many Special THANKS to all those who provided First-Hand Information about this amazing Gentleman.
Singer, Songwriter, Recording Artist, Broadcaster, Model, Actor, Producer, Publisher, Promoter, Licenser, Distributor, and that's just a few of his Entertainment Credits! Radio Personality and Recording Artist at 6, Pathfinder at 12, Ordained Minister and Commissioned Officer (Leftenant) at 14! The Pathfinders Mission/Rescue Order's Highest Decorated! Knighted twice! Order of the Golden Rose and Knights of the Throne of Israel!
Now just who do you think they are talking about? Elvis Presley? "bleeped" no, not even Elvis could do as much as this, "amazing Gentleman"!!! LOL
"Order of the Golden Rose of Knights of the Throne of Israel"?
Man, this CULT likes the long titles.
In farrell's own words...
"As for the ".org" - we took that tag in keeping with the fact VMG and all its subs are wholly owned by The Anointed of God Assembly - parent Charter of the Military Order of Pathfinders a non-profit, charitable organization, militarily structured as a matter of administration (as is the Salvation Army)."

General Bobby Farrell.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"First, VMG is owned by "The Anointed of God Assembly, parent charter of "The Military Order of Pathfinders", a non-profit mission rescue."
A non-profit, military assembly, on a self-proclaimed "anointed" rescue mission, is not what I thought I was buying into.
another quote: "This is about the same as the "Salvation Army" except they do not evangelize or run "drunk-tanks".
Is dressing up like Satan Clause and collecting money in the name of brotherhood one of the "VMG cult" endeavors?
What other ways are you like the "salvation army"?
Who wants to pay the "salvation army" $10,000.00 to get an ExP, guaranteed worldwide distribution, contract?
Now, who would pay, VMGWORLDWIDE.ORG, the CULT, $10,000.00 for their ExP, guaranteed worldwide distribution contract?
People, get out while you still can.
farrell is a fraud, and he deceived me. I was never brainwashed by this wolf, but he did con me out of a substantial amount of money. He has no remorse, he is military and out of control.
Leave the man to be destroyed by his own vices.
Get away while you still can.

VMG pretends to be in the business of music, but in fact, they are nothing more than a non-profit, charitable organization.
I still have the web page cached at google, it is just no longer part of the
www.circleonerecords.com website.
I have no intentions of joining your bbs but you can post anything you want from my e-mail and I will gladly send you much more. Beware this cult called The Anointed of God Assembly - parent Charter of the Military Order of Pathfinders pretending to be in the business of music.
Sincerely,
Dominic John
P.S. The satellite library (atlantic-satellite.com) claiming to have songs available for download is part of the scam, too.
WOW check this out……the big scam websites
http://whatsonthe.net/scammks.htm?FACTNet
Could it be when you scroll down ………atlantic-satellite…hmm
Also does it not seem kind of strange the only place that has any information on this service is
http://www.mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=29647 a place where anyone can get anything posted. As well the person who posted the information on mi2n is from a website that does not exist
One would think such a big reputable chart would have more backup information. You would think they would be easy to locate . You would think they would have more than a one page setup Seems most of the hype for this comes from the VMG camp.
It’s a VMG rip-off

For people who can’t get enough of the General and his cronies ……wow they sound like a broken record. I’m sure the General with a million names knows what that sounds like.
These folks are in serious need of therapy. Hooper must be laughing his ass off looks like he has been through this a few times
