Roca Labs
Reviews and Complaints

Readum’ and weap boys! Well folks, whilst the tip top and crack legal team (chuckling away) of Orlando lawyers Glen Reid & Andy Hill battle the legal juggernaut of the US Federal Government trying to protect internet scam artist Don Karl Juravin (Roca Labs) from certain personal bankruptcy and other charges, these two bag of rocks manage to lose yet another case in a separate small time legal matter. The case that is being referenced is yet another whacky small time case that Don Karl Juravin cooked up against an innocent landlord who had the misfortune of leasing a home to Juravin. What should have been a small dispute easily settled; erupted into a typical Juravin three ring circus full of crazy lies and outrageous claims, and it made the poor landlord lose 5 years of his life and over $125 k battling this nut job. However, he now has a personal judgment against Juravin to collect on. Hmmmm, that should be fun as the other judgments are stacking up! Interestingly though, had the landlord known of his name changes post and prior to previous convictions here in Israel and the US, I doubt with a simple google search he would have entered into a lease with Juravin, who was also known as Adi Jorbin here in Israel prior to his conviction in 2005. Post conviction in 2005, he went to using an old name of Adi Juravin only to realise that the name was connected with Jorbin in a simple google search. So, what does one do when one finds oneself in that pickle after you arrive in the the US in 2009? You change your name again! I know guys this sounds crazy, but I have downloaded the court records for your review. Please people do your research and don’t get ripped off by litigation addicted internet fraudsters who sue people for posting true reviews on pissedconsumer.com and other websites who help out the poor consumer, or just sue anyone for anything. Thanks for being there for us Pissedconsumer.com!

Folks, the end on this internet scammer is finally coming nearer as last month Don Juravin aka Adi Jorbin (Convicted in Israel 2005) filed bankruptcy on his beloved and quite the scam front company, Roca Labs. Well, not so fast Juravin and your not so genius lawyer Glenn Ried of Orlando.....you guys forgot that Juravin is being sued personally as well as all of his other bogus company fronts like Must Cure Obesity Co. and Roca Labs Nutriciticals, LLC. Guys, a little hint, Federal Judges and Federal Prosecutors are not dumb people by any stretch, and oh, neither is the IRS. Their judgments extend to everything he owns and is connected with. They (Juravin & Glenn Reid) may have bought him a month or two of breathing room by filing this bogus bankruptcy filing, but Don Juravin aka Adi Jorbin; they have you by the balls and they will keep squeezing and people here in America are sick of being ripped off. Don’t pay for fake weight loss products any longer folks. Go see a professional instead of an internet C*N MAN with zero medical training who changes his name every time he gets convicted.

I saw a great blog written about don juravin. I searched him and saw a huge amounts of reviews about him at this site. I thought it made some great points, so I wanted to share it to everyone that has been following this. "Freedom Fighter" by donjuravinfacts, stated the following: Freedom fighter? You betcha. But not in the widely understood conventional sense. More like the opposite. Don Juravin actively fights AGAINST freedom. I recently received an email from an individual who saw one of my posts. Apparently, he (or she?) had written a more detailed response to Juravin’s stupid “PR” release, and attempted to get it released in the same manner Juravin did. After the release was distributed and resulting in web engines, the publishing website was sent a “court order” from Juravin, ordering them to take the post down. TEXTBOOK JURAVIN! Again, like he did/does with whistle blowers, customers, and anyone exposing him, he hides behind lawyers and litigation and uses these means to bully people. Just like with his *** clauses”. For someone who pretends to be such a patriot, makes claims like “An American born in the Holy land”, he sure doesn’t understand the principles of FREEDOM of SPEECH. Even though HE uses that argument to defend his slandering of people and businesses. He fights freedom alright. P.S. Here is the link to the article that was suppressed. https://roca-labs.pissedconsumer.com/don-juravin-continues-deceptions-amid-ftc-and-irs-investigations-201711281138715.html

While the FTC AND the IRS tighten the rope on Roca Labs, its owner, Don Juravin, and various other “entities” he creates, Juravin and his lawyer are hard at work to confuse, complicate, and continue to mislead onlookers. In a ridiculous attempt to “save face,” one of Don Juravin’s lawyers, Glenn Reid, posted an article in the style of a press release to at least two different public relations websites. As with most postings by Juravin and his cohorts, it is filled with fallacies, distractions, and complete delusion. Again, as with most posts by Juravin, it turns into an obvious sales pitch. I would like to address some of the claims, or inferences, this article contains and show how they are manipulative, misleading, or outright false. While I cannot cover every aspect I find absurd, I would like to point out the examples that I find offensive to anyone with any semblance of intelligence. First, the opening line, “Political persecution endangers future of the regimen that has, and is, saving thousands of lives. Inventor fights back praying for justice.” Right off the bat, the article positions itself as a victim caught in the sights of an evil, greedy branch of the government that wants to end a regimen that “saves lives” and frames it as “political persecution.” The subsequent paragraphs frame the FTC as a bully that intimidates businesses and is a “threat to the American dream.” It even goes as far as stating that the FTC is extorting the businesses it investigates. Secondly, the article tries to minimize the deceptions Juravin has been caught using. “The deception that the FTC claims are a video of a man in a lab coat and a caduceus symbol that was displayed on a website for few months in 2013. No customer complained about these “deceptions.” I find this comment mind-numbing. It admits a man in a lab coat (who turned out to be a FORMER doctor with no special experience with weight-loss, and never told Juravin he did) was endorsing the product “for few months,” and the only excuse or defense is “No customer complained about these “deceptions.” That’s the thing about deceptions. IF the customer was deceived, they wouldn’t know to complain. If the viewer was not deceived, they would not have become customers. Juravin also conveniently left out some of his worst deceptions, including faking and photoshopping celebrity endorsements, faking customer reviews, fake approvals from “medical directors” that don’t exist, and creating websites so that they appear to be third-parties endorsing his product. Don Juravin implies he took down the video of the fake Doctor, and that was it. But in reality, he continues using these tactics down to this day. On his website, he claims that his “[GBA] for Diabetes Type 1, Type 2, and Pre-Diabetic” has been officially APPROVED.” Yet, he offers NO information on who exactly “approved” his product. It even contains a disclaimer: “This is NOT a personal medical advice in any way but merely a general observation based on common medical knowledge and selected reports (posts) in FB.com/groups/LOST100. Your doctor can answer you in more details (see list of active ingredients).” The post concludes with the ridiculous “sign off,” “Approved by medical director V1.0 22 May 2017.” Approved by “medical director”?? Who exactly? Completely absurd. These are the kind of warning signs fraud websites teach consumers to look for! The influence Juravin had over this article shows its arrogant head with the promotion of the ideas of Don Juravin as this blessed “inventor,” an “American born in the Holy land” (whatever that means), and that he is “fighting” the FTC, whom he views as a “legalized mafia.” In other posts you can find online, Juravin loves to prop himself up as some kind of “miracle worker” who is saving lives. There are numerous examples of this all over the internet. He always highlights customer’s comments like “Thanks Jesus and Don.” Don Juravin is also obsessed with calling himself “the inventor,” and a “guru.” So, what are his credentials? Don Juravin claims he went to Gonzaga, but has never provided any proof of medical training whatsoever. He is not a doctor. Or a nutritionist. Or even personal trainer. Or anything. Don Juravin has been drinking too much of his own Kool-Aid for far too long. Aside from the embarrassment of the things that I have highlighted, WHY has Juravin started a campaign against the FTC, attempting to de-legitimize their investigation? As attributed to his opponents in the article, “The answer is money.” It is estimated that Don Juravin made roughly $26,000,000 in the last 7-8 years from GBA. The FTC AND IRS (curiously excluded) are the ones who can take his money away and shut him down for good. And with the amount of evidence they have proving Juravin’s past and current deceptive practices, compounded by his OWN statements in his deposition, they will. They have already frozen his assets. It seems posts like these are his attempt to “go down swinging.” It’s ironic. The very intentions Juravin and his lawyer accused the FTC of are the EXACT reasons why he and Roca Labs are under the microscope. Juravin in under investigation for using deceptive business practices, faked endorsements, threats and lawsuits against unsatisfied customers, *** clauses, misleading advertising, and finally, the medical legitimacy and claims of the regimen itself! Throughout this entire ordeal, he has never presented any actual rebuttal or any tangible evidence to refute ANY of the FTC’s findings. His own medical experts agreed with the FTC’s conclusions! The fact of the matter is that Roca Labs and Don Juravin are in serious trouble. In the past, he has been able to weasel his way out of his lies, bullying, and harassment of others. That time has come to an end. One can just hope that he is put out of business soon, so he can no longer hurt or victimize anyone else. Note: While the preceding information is public knowledge and can be found in public record, the FTC and IRS investigations are still ongoing. All claims should be considered “allegations” until proven in a court of law. All viewpoints expressed are a matter of opinion.

It was just a matter of time folks before the noose of the FTC & IRS strangled this slime ball Facebook scammer. However, this bankruptcy will probably be tossed out as a sham filing. In a typical Don Juravin move, the total bankruptcy filing totals out over $60 million dollars that he claiming his company owes creditors. What is entertaining is that he lists himself as a major creditor ahead of the Federal Government with his own company where he owns 100 % of the stock. He owes the Feds north of $26 million for his consumer fraud scams. He owes the IRS millions because of tax evasion, and he owes a lot of money in a class action suit against him. Whoa! This guy has some baggage! He claims in the fake bankruptcy filing that Roca owes him personally $35 million....what a joke. When the judge and the trustee see this, all *** will break loose on this Facebook fraudster, Don Juravin, aka Adi Jorbin, aka Adi D. Juravin, aka Don Karl Juravin. So many names and so many scams!

The fact that people actually fell for this guys products is the real shame here. Here is some powder, make a drink and you will lose weight, this is much safer than having gastric bypass surgery and it will work the same way. Come on, give me a break, how is it that people still believe that here is a miracle supplement for weight lose??? Wow, desperation I guess but very sad that people are this naïve.

Whoa folks, the never ending crazy saga of Roca Labs and it’s whacky owner Don Juravin looks like it may be coming to an end, finally. From the latest filings in court, Juravin was caught selling court ordered frozen assets to buy more luxury Mercedes Benz vehicles and hiding secret PayPal accounts from the Feds. In the latest filing from Juravin and his rather comical lawyer asking for a protective order, one can see the desperation setting in as he is complaining that he is being persecuted by the FTC because they caught him doing all of these dishonest things, and it is now time to pay the piper. Oh well, no one feels sorry for these as what the government calls them, Scammers, plain and simple. Right now, Juravin, has several IRS liens personally totaling well over a million dollars; and is very much about to get a whopping $ 25 million dollar plus personal judgment slapped on him from the FTC. So, to sum it up folks, he is basically very much bankrupt. There is no recovery. He has had a long run over the years ripping people off here and in Israel, so good riddance Juravin, your presence won’t be missed by all of the consumers you have ripped off and the people you have harassed online. *all of the items uploaded where downloaded from the public record

I was banned from even trying the stuff. They said i disrespected then by calling it goop. Lol. I asked very good questions about the product and they didn't like that at all. They gave me very snippy answers. They were very rude too me.

I was trying to get information on the product and ingredients etc. before I made the purchase- well I received messages from them "you should not base your life choices on a strangers recommendation base it on your own thoughts" ummmm ok. Then I saw in the groups there was a woman who was asking for tips because she was having issues with their HUB and how to follow the directions- Well the response was" your not the kind of person we want to see in here- you are negative and you are ban" boom done! She was gone...... I am so confused - tried contacting people that said locally they were on it and got nothing but a link to the main page with a note- I am new to it too...... Funny they are listed as having been on it for 2 yrs???

Why is he still advertising today. He has a FB page live right now. I was going to buy it after hearing the testimonies. I read the rules and it said you may not message others in the group. He said it is rude to waste their time and to read the directions yourself. Don’t be so Lazy was his words. I wanted to contact someone doing it to see what is was all about and I did. They got back to me saying they just started and couldn’t give me any info. They did say they lost 11 pounds in 8 days and that’s all she could say. So glad I checked it out further. To much money to lose on a scam. I wish LA weight loss was still around I lost 80 pounds on that diet in 7 months kept it off for 15 years.

What is it with this greaseball internet QAUCK salesman and his dishonesty? Apparently he knows no bounds. I guess this is what sociopaths do and they think it is normal behavior. Firstly, this sleazy guy has a few aliases that he goes by. Google the names Adi Juravin, Adi D. Juravin, Don Juravin, Don Karl Juravin and last, but not least, Adi Jorbin. You will find that they are all the same person. Adi Jorbin, as he was known for while in Israel was convicted of consumer fraud and lost a a lot of lawsuits and filed bankruptcy there before he came to the United States somewhere according to research in the mid 2000’s. He changed his name to Adi Juravin when he came here and ultimately started using the name Don Karl Juravin shortly thereafter, according to the public records. Now the Feds have caught him yet again for hiding and transferring money through PayPal accounts and lying about selling assets that were frozen by the court. The assets were frozen by the court so harmed consumers could recover their losses for buying what Juravin admitted were fake products. Please everyone, do your research and seek real professional help for extreme weight loss. I have downloaded from the public domain all of the documents concerning this QUACK. Thank you Pissedconsumer.com for being brave and letting consumers have a voice.

I know is I lost 70 pounds. Wanted to re-order to maintain weight can get a hold of anybody

So I was a member of the Roca Lab fb page, and after doing my homework, realized what a mistake it would be to give this company any of my money. Well, I posted the negative reviews as well as the lawsuit information on the page, and low and behold within 30 min. I was blocked from the page! Classy!!! Still trying to shut people up I see!!

Caught again! What is it with this internet huckster who gets caught by the US Government for suing customers who complained about his bogus products to getting caught hiding money from the Feds to illegally selling frozen assets because he is subject to an asset freeze imposed by a US Federal Judge??? I will tell you what I and many other people believe, we believe Don Karl Juravin is an Internet snake oil salesman who is also a sociopath and pathological liar. Don Karl Juravin was convicted in Israel for fraud against consumers (see uploads) when he went by the names Adi Juravin and then Adi Jorbin when he was convicted and filed for bankruptcy protection as he lost many lawsuits, including one for libel and slander. He then comes to the US to sell the good American public fake weight loss products. People got angry and wrote how they felt about him and his products. So, he just sued them and pissed consumer and lost big time. Go get him FTC and IRS and shut this nightmare down. He and his products are what makes the weight loss industry look bad. Don't get taken folks!
