Canadian Firm Says Wrongly Accused
Responsible Planetary Concepts Incorporated  RPC) international director, Darrel W. Simonson, says that his company is being falsely accused by a disgruntled investor.

In a telephone call to Insidecostarica.com and followed up by e-mail, Simonson says that RPC is not an "investment company" nor do they have "investment programs", they are a marketing company.

Simonson said that he news story of March 28 was a result of a Newfoundland resident who had gone on a morning talk show badmouthing the company.

Simonson said the story relates to a distributor in Newfoundland who believed could invest in low-income housing in Costa Rica and receive a large return for their investment. 

"We have no idea where that idea came from, in fact nothing in our promotional material, corporate documentation or web site material has ever referred to this scenario. We are a marketing company and we sell products. The only way our distributors make money in our program is by selling products", said Simonson.

"It is unfortunate that some people have decided that it is easier to try and discredit a company by blaming them for their own failure to meet their commitments", Simonson added.

RPC began operations in November of 2004 and has been aggressively marketing a variety of unique and socially responsible products utilizing a large distributor network and the concepts of Relationship Marketing. 

RPC is a marketing arm of the RPC International Trust Foundation located in San José, Costa Rica. The mandate of the Foundation is to conduct humanitarian projects throughout the world with a main focus of providing low income housing opportunities to people in need.

The first projects are currently in construction in Costa Rica in the lower income neighbourhood of Desamparados, south of San José and Cuidad Quesada.

From the income generated by the sale of our unique products, RPC sends a large portion of the profits to the RPC International Trust Foundation, who in turn is accountable by law to carry out the mission stated in its mandate.
