Www.poetry.com Edward Helly ripoff Owing Mills Maryland
Poetry.com people are disgusting and loathful as they are not humans to understand ones feeling. poetry is something which originates from the inner soul of oneself and they manipulate ones feeling and milk the people.
they promised me to send a book with my poetries printed and they also invited me to attend the annual convocation in washington. i was really happy tinking about it and i sent them US$600 as an entry fee and i also bought my ticket and reserved myself in one of the hotels there, but when i met the consular general for the visa he acknowledged me that this whole affair is a rip off and i must consider my money as lost.
it is not a matter of money but at the same time i am not much surprised as now i do realise that US is a big bullshit under a big umbrella and truly speaking if the president of the country himself is a theif no body can doubt about its people.
i am sure that this will hurt you to some extent but truth is always bitter so you have to admit that there are many companies who are ripping off people for years and i have not heard that the US government has done much about it and surely they are much motivated by their wonderful President.
i am sure you will not be of any help as i have written to many of the similar report sites and poetry.com is still full of enthusiasm in cheating people.

There are many ripoff scams in the world, many use the same logo or name, if you check most are sent to a different address stating they are reps from said business...same thing happened to the NOBLE HOUSE publishing..I personally went to the convention in DC and it was a wonderful experance
It had around 7000 contestants there, sad only a few could win..as for sending 600 did you get a reciept, I did.Say some stranger tells you it is a rip off. did you know this person, the convention was held, people all over the world were their. sorry you missed it because of some fraud, I learned to read the fine print, it does help. we made the worlds largest poem for peace
it was great so many people from around the word
uniting, sharing, learning together as people not
countries, i made many friends that i will always remember...As far as the president goes, everyone does not like him, freedom of speach, i do however..the papers and news have said things,but i have never heard him called a thief..like poetry.com he is in charge of a large group, he never said he was perfect,neighter did they...
and as in ones home once in a while a rat apears
and until it does damage you don't know its there
GOD SENT HIS SON SO SIN COULD BE FORGIVEN..AND HE
GAVE KNOWLEDGE TO ME AND YOU TO HELP IT NOT HAPPEN AGAIN..we need a place like poetry.com
so our word will not just stay in our heads, together we all can help keep it in honest hands
by reporting fraud, please don't blame all for the few rats that came thru the door.

No one can argue the fact that you were scammed out of a decent amount of money, not to mention your pride and feelings were hurt. Poetry comes from the heart and when someone's feelings are exploited, that sucks.
However, the personal attack on the integrity of our country was uncalled for. I hate to break this to you, but there are scam artists in every country, including where you live. The United States is a great big place, full of various types of people. Unfortunately, some of the people are not nice, as you've learned. But the vast majority are hard working, honest people like yourself and do not deserve to be categorized as the scum of the earth. Yes, some people are not fans of our current President, but that has little to do with how you got scammed. There are many organizations in place like this site as well as various consumer affairs-type places that are out to defend people like us from getting ripped off. Sadly, people get scammed anyway. That's the way it is.
Please LOOK INTO things thoroughly before forking your money over to some stranger. If you look on the net, this scam has been exposed on several sites for years!! I typed the words "poetry.com scam" in a search engine and hundreds of results came up, some dating back to 1999! Again, I'm really sorry about what happened - you are nice to share your experience with the rest of us in the hopes that no one else gets scammed. But please don't bash the United States in the process!
