I got a call from them, and found an online forum that listed the following. I do not know if it is true, but it sounds possible. The whole Globalreach Int company name is a scam, that is clear. They block the numbers they call from, so don't bother calling them back. See below:
Jay Sherbondy most recently is orchestrating his scams under the guise of "Global Reach International, Ltd.," which he often describes as a huge global company with thousands of employees. Interestingly, this supposedly global organization with "thousands of employees" and a "legal department" operates out of a small house at 9034 W. Rochelle Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89147-7899, phone: 702-877-2420.
In reality, Global Reach was set up in 2004 and amounts to little more than Jay Sherbondy, his associate/girlfriend/partner-in-crime Margaret "Peggy" Smith (the "President and CEO" of Global Reach, who also happens to own and reside in the house on Rochelle Ave.), and whichever website designer he is scamming at the time. The company was set up with everything in Peggy Smith's name. The Rochelle Ave. address is also Jay Sherbondy's current residence, and is located less than 1 mile from his preferred Starbuck's meeting place on Flamingo and Durango.
Peggy Smith lived with her husband in the house on Rochelle until he died a couple of years ago. Jay Sherbondy met Peggy when she was distraught and in therapy over the loss of her husband and quickly set up camp.
In summary, Jay Sherbondy and Margaret "Peggy" Smith operate "Global Reach International, Ltd." out of a small (approximately 1980 sq. ft., 4 bedroom, 3 bath) house at 9034 W. Rochelle Ave. in Las Vegas. We verified with Clark County records that this house is owned by Margaret M. Smith and by the Secretary of State that Global Reach International, Ltd. was started August 14, 2004 and is owned by Peggy Smith (aka Margaret M. Murphy-Smith).

Harry Jay Sherbondy, Jr. does nothing in his own name and just bullys others into leveraging whatever resources they may have into his service or wherever he thinks he can make the fastest buck. He gets very emotionally and verbally abusive whenever people don't spend their money/credit to participate in what he wants. Coerced participation has included: gifting programs, couponing, montisizing, mortgage elimination, AdPac (legit - a very nice man operates this in Las Vegas), private investigation, REIT's (Real Estate Investment Trusts), setup of corporation soles (with bank accounts) - template was stolen. He tries to get others to use their merchant accounts for whatever it is he wants to sell, or has used "authorize.net" in the past. He takes other people's networks, address books, etc., and works them.
Global Reach's fictitious Florida-based "legal department" is, in reality, in the case of a recent contract, a web-based legal service called LegalMatch.com (based in San Francisco). A recent Global Reach contract in our possession is based on a template from LegalMatch.com, and was authored by Dmitry Shubov. The point is Global Reach has no "legal department." Jay Sherbondy also buys travel certificates out of Florida.
Jay Sherbondy and Margaret "Peggy" Smith also operate websites such as "www.blastpak.com", "www.cyberpakoptin.com" and "http://theolegions.spreadtheword.com", and are involved in dozens of so-called internet affiliate marketing programs (the internet version of multi-level marketing) such as "www.immunotec.com/globalreach/page.asp", and "www.goldrushusa.com".

Author of Two Dozen Books?
Jay Sherbondy's claims to have published between seven and "over two dozen" books, depending on which of his website posts you are looking at. This is also a lie. Our extensive search yielded only one published book, titled "Addictions," which was self-published with Authorhouse. From the Authorhouse website:
"Since 1997, AuthorHouse, the leading self-publishing company in the world, has helped authors achieve their book publishing goals."
In other words, Jay Sherbondy paid a publishing company in order to get his one book in print. His other works, all unpublished, in some cases amount to little more than pamphlets.

Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
Jay Sherbondy uses the guise of being a Christian to dupe people into believing he is a moral person. He condems the actions of others to give himself an air of moral superiority. Don't fall for it. He lies almost constantly, cheats people out of money, fails to provide payment for services rendered, and fails to deliver services he has been compensated for.
Jay Sherbondy takes other people's real, traumatic life events, puts a spin on them, and regurgitates them as his own. His mother was born in Buffalo, NY, and died in May 2001 while Jay was in prison. His father, a private security guard, who Jay claims had brain surgery, in fact never did. Jay may have grown up in L.A., and his social security number was not issued until 1965. Jay has never performed on stage in his life, including comedy, psychology, or his so-called "Fit for Love" workshops. He mocked a demo tape by reading off cue cards, claiming he is a renowned speaker. Jay even claims to own a dog named Tuffy, which actually belongs to his sister.
Fraudulent Educational Background
As for his education, Jay Sherbondy does not actually have a Ph.D. (in anything). However, we have used the title "Dr." to aid people in locating this document, as this is how he refers to himself. He is often referred to as a "Psychologist" on websites marketing his book, however he does not have a degree in Psychology. We've uncovered information that leads us to believe that Harry Jay Sherbondy, Jr. has no formal college education whatsover, and he may not even have graduated from high school.
