Setting the Record Straight: DealForce, PipeLinear & Online Misinformation
Introduction
Hello, my name is Bryce Kapitzky, founder of DealForce and formerly PipeLinear.
From time to time, prospective or current clients conduct due diligence on our work. During this process, they may come across certain links that raise concerns. Specifically, seeing a vendor listed in Hucksters.Net can be alarming. We understand why you might hesitate, and we don’t blame you for being cautious.
That’s exactly why I’m writing this—to set the record straight.
The Truth About Hucksters.Net and Jessie Nickles
Hucksters.Net has a track record of publishing defamatory content, often involving disputes rooted in personal grievances, political ideologies, or biases. I want to be clear:
- I have no direct knowledge of the motives behind the site or its creator, Jessie Nickles.
- I do not believe that our company was targeted due to racism or political motivations.
The site appears to engage in ongoing disputes with various individuals, which we have no involvement in. - There are recurring themes about politics, racism, and personal grievances in much of the content surrounding Hucksters.Net. Many of the posts appear to involve ongoing disputes between specific individuals, which we are not part of and have never been involved in.
A former employee left a review on TrustPilot stating: "Hucksters.net is a scam review site. Pay no attention to their reviews. I am a former employee and saw this firsthand. DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO ANY OF THEIR REVIEWS!!!!" (Mar 4, 2023) (TrustPilot Link)
Jessie has built a pattern of attacking individuals and businesses online, creating defamatory content and fueling personal vendettas against those he dislikes.

How We Got Involved
Our only interaction with Jessie Nickles was a single cold outreach email.
Jessie has never spoken to us.
Jessie has never been a client.
Jessie has no direct experience with our services.
This entire situation arose from one unsolicited email—a standard outbound sales approach that thousands of companies use daily.
We believe that because Jessie runs an SEO agency focused on inbound marketing, he has a deep resentment toward outbound sales agencies. This was the sole reason for his aggressive reaction.
- We never had a conversation with him.
- We never worked with him in any capacity.
- We did not continue contacting him after that one cold email.
Yet, based on that single email, he escalated his response into a full-blown online attack, creating a false narrative that paints us as fraudulent—without any basis or direct experience.
This is not an isolated incident. Jessie has done this to others.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve come across Jessie Nickles and Hucksters.Net, it’s important to consider the source.
- Jessie has a track record of creating defamatory content.
- He never interacted with our business—this entire situation started from one cold email.
- His own forums and comments show erratic behavior, vulgarity, and personal vendettas.
If you have any concerns about our business, we encourage direct communication rather than relying on anonymous, unverified claims.
