I entered a poem that my daughter had written about her recently deceased grandfather, we were all very excited that she was chosen to be published---I sent the required money for the book that it was to be published in along with a memory request and have not yet heard a thing although my check had been cashed in October. If there is anything that anyone can do to get this scumbag I would be forever grateful...I have not told my daughter about this yet because I don't want to upset her....but it looks like I may have to because she keeps asking me when she should get her book.

I am one of many who trusted this company, and was told nothing but lies.I have on my wall a certificate reconzing me as a "famous poet for 1995".I have just recently found out that it has all been nothing but a lie. I would like to know,as I'm sure others would,just what happened to the poem I sent in?This has been one of the biggest let downs I've had in my journey to become a writer. Company's such as these need to pay for what they have done to me and other unsuspecting writers.In this day and time it's hard enough to find anything postive to write about, then you have to deal with people like this that have nothing better to do than steal other peoples work.I think it's time to fight back. If you have been ripped off by this company,join me to finally put a stop to this injustice. United,let's take a stand and show them we're not going to be ignored.This is the time to take action.If you've been ripped off by this company send your name,t itle of your poem, and your story here on Rip-off Report. Let's stop other's from being let down,and having their dreams shattered. Together we will bring a class action lawsuit against the person or persons respossible for this SCAM!

I too received letters saying I was a semifinalist. I was more gullible, as my entry was free. My poem, "A Notion", had won some prizes before, so I could believe I was a semifinalist. But not only did I buy the book, but I payed again because of an "error" that had been made, that was MY fault. Right. I was told to wait until April or later for the book. Since then, I have recieved no promised confirmation, no answer on the phone or Email, and their page has been erased. This Famous Poet's contest is a scam, and I warn against any further use of their sites.
