Complaint Review: Splash Magazine

Lawrence Davis, founder of Splash Magazine, is in an industry where he has a vast system of writers that will write for free with him claiming they will get exposure, products that are sent for free for the same exposure, and tens of thousands of dollars of free perks such as event tickets, free airfare, lodging, hotel stays.  He reviews none of the products and has writers who have never even seen or used the products he gets for free do the reviews and writing.

He has a section of his magazine for young aspiring models and entertainers to have a profile.  He reaches out to them to be his dates.  He insists his staff live with him on a trade for pay and he is in general dishonest and manipulative.

The products are paying through goods for honest reviews and customers on the website have no idea the reviews are not real.

He promised me he would assist me with tickets to a life coaching event as well as stunt school. I did not ask for this.  The tickets for the life coaching event at that time were at a half price value.  He asked me to get the PR contact information for both the life coaching event as well as the stunt school.  He then led me on implying he was taking care of it so that I lost that price and eventually could not afford the price they are now.  In additon to the airfare being more costly and hotels being booked up.  The stunt school as well no longer has an opening until next spring.  He will not compensate me for my monetary losses and is denying all of it.  

Do not send this man your products, do not send him tickets to your events, do not write his articles for free.  His website does not rank as he says it does and he has no advertisers on it.  Everything is free and traded from his inflated promises.
