Ari Admani Admani & Co.Admani & Mack Melissa Mack Pocketed Profits, Kept Deposits, False Promises, Racketeering New York New York
I reached out to Ari Admani inquring about PR (public relation) representation because I am an independent music artist. One of the clients they represented at the time is a known New York celebrity, so I felt comfortable doing business with this PR firm at the time. We conducted an agreement in which the PR Ari Admani orchestrated a clear outline of the services I was paying him to do for me. I worked with the known artist of his and we recorded a track. I also recorded a whole album consisting of 10 original tracks; which Ari told me was going to be distributed through Universal Music Group. After I recorded the project I noticed things werent adding up. The known artist that was represented by Ari Admani was no longer working with Ari Admani. I never received any royalties or payment from streams. Videos that I paid for that were suppose to be released, were NEVER released. Songs that I paid to promote never reached the intended party as promised. I was told things were in libmo due to unforseen circumstances, and basically never phsyically encountered with Ari Admani since September 2016. He was in contact thruogh phone with me mostly via text, I have tried to set up appointment dates where we can physically meet but he never follows through.
I finally was able to reach out to the known celebrity who was formally represented by Ari Admani, and they told me that Ari ripped them out of money as well. This known celebrity actually came to physically meet with me last night (Wednesday April 12, 2017) and informed me of all the evil doings by Ari Admani. This celebrity told me they had no idea I was ripped off as well but isn't surprised by it. They told me they cut Ari from representing them months ago after finding out he was a vicious liar and thief! I have lost thousands of dollars ($7000) investing with this PR person who pretty much took my money as well as others and scrammed. I had to sell my car just to pay rent, and I am currently splitting an apartment with two friends just to afford a place to stay. I feel embarassed, mislead, and totally disappointed. I stated to Ari I had been ripped off by previous sharks in this music industry before working with him. He took my vulnerbility, hard work, and good heart for granted. I have been in touch with former people he ripped off including directors, artists, producers, and engineers. Please help!

I've known Ari since 2017 when we conducted our first transaction. I flew from GA to NYC and he followed through on our $2000 deal. We conducted a second deal in 2020 worth $3000. $1000 went towards a Worldstar video premiere. The other $2000 has been on hold since then. I moved to New Jersey in July of 2022 partially in hopes of meeting with Ari and Melissa again. It has been one year now and we still haven't met. We've scheduled several meetings but he has never followed through and always makes an excuse. He has called me "bipolar" and "evil" on numerous occasions in order to manipulate and gaslight me whenever I threatened to take legal action or expose him. A few weeks ago, I gave Ari and Melissa and ultimatum to repay me or to expect legal action. He says I have not accomplished enough in life to be able to give him and ultimatum hahaha. Sir tell that to the courts. It's really tragic because I've met their son, and we called him Baby Ari. We bonded a little during our short time together. It pains me to know that his parents are scam artists and that he may one day have to find out. I can only imagine what that would do to his psyche. But Ari doesn't care because he's a manipulative psychopath. He leads a life of falsehoods and seems to have his wife under some "spell" for lack of a better word. I hope you are doing well and were able to recover from your hardships and disappointments.

Same sh*t happened to me. Only worse. The same lame a*s "celebrities” he falsely "represented” talked sh*t about him to my face then tried to act like they were friends again after I was out of the picture. F*ck all of them. Dudes name is Armani now. Good move good luck consulting billionaires. Money can’t mask true colors.
