Complaint Review: Famous Poets Society

Back in April 2004 I recieved a letter in the mail stating that I had been voted best poet for Famous Poets Society. Due to this accomplishment, they wanted to put my poem in an anthology.

I was to pay 49.95 for the anthology, which would have my poem published in it. I have tried numerous times to contact this company about the anthology, that which I have yet to receive.

They do not answer e-mails, nor is the phone number I had for them a valid number for that company. Lavendar Aurora has e-mailed me since then inviting me to the convention in Reno as well.

Stating that I had won a trophy for my excellence in poetry, also a medallion. But in order to receive any of this it was going to cost me over $1,000.00. I sent an e-mail to Lavendar stating that I was unable to afford that much money at the time.

I am a working mother, raising three little girls. About two months later I got another e-mail stating that the awards that I had won, could be recieved but not until i sent $300.00 to pay for all the cost to have it shipped.

This is by far a huge let down, not to mention the embarrasement it has caused on me. Sending this company all that money to get what i thought was an award for the accomplishment of my dreams.

Only to find out that it has been the biggest scam of all times. I want my money back, and I want my poem out of their hands. They don't deserve to have what I have created. Someone please help me give this company what they deserve for doing this to so many people. For ruining the dreams that we writters live for everyday.

Thank you so much for revealing this company and their lying, cheating, and decieveing ways.
