NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
----------------------------------
I'm a singer songwriter and performer I was on line looking for a publicist for my new album recorded in Nashville, and written with a top 40 charting songwriter. I find this JHP Publicity there site boasts such claims as representing (((REDACTED))), recording a song with Johnny Dep they own there own music label Hoopla Records. So I check them out on line can't find any bad reports there both on Facebook with tons of friends, so I think hey they must be real. I pay this guy over $1200 American he tells me his partner Sabrina will help me with branding, and build me a website, I call him after a few weeks go bye and no answer finally I get in touch and I tell him I haven't heard anything from this sabrina person. He says she is ultra busy woring for all these big shots and she'll get in touch don't worry, finally I talk to her and she hsn't got a clue about what to do, I'm making all the sugestions, so I wait another week as she is going to build me this top notch website, ike the one they have. Then nothing I don't hear anything, again I call her no answer I call and leave him messages, finally he calls me now he is a bit upset that I would pester them as they are so busy and they will get back to me. so I get an email with two font samples to pick from for my website, what? another week goes by a few pictures have been sent to them, a few replies have come back, but nowit's been six weeks and no site. So I email Johnathan I say look this isnt' working out, I have nothing to show for my $1200 no website, no promotional material at all, nothing is coming to fruition on our plan, I think I'll just have mymoney back and that's that. I get this long rant of an email letter telling me what a big shot he is, and how she is so busy and I'm lucky to have her and blah blah blah blah. So I email him back and say you know what that's not professional behavior at all, and I'll just let him deal with master Card. Now I get a longer email that is now threatening me, he will blogg on ever site there is about what a scum bag I am etc etc, don't ever try and bad mouth him and the great reputation he has built with the biggest names in show biz blah blah blah. So I chat it over with my wife and like fools we decide to let it go, as we don't want any bad publicity, what a joke, these people coldn't work at any publicity in the first place. So we cut our losses only to find out now over a year later that this guy is a scum bag! that has ripped off lots of people, Buddy if you are out there I feel bad for you, becouse what goes around comes around, and when your day comes around I think you are going to be very sorry. anyone who runs into this guy don't listen to his bag of B.S and keep your wallet closed.
