My company paid for advertising that has not be delivered. I received a call from MICHAEL RICHARDS at end of May 2013. I listened to his sales pitch and decided to go ahead and purchased an ad in the Goodlife Pasco Golf Course Edition that was due to be published and distributed to 5 area Golf Courses in August 2013.This book was supposed to be 50-80 pages with ads and course specific info.
Everything seemed good, i worked on my ad with "Alex" of the graphics dept, then on July 02,2013 Michael Richards calls to say he was doing a final check of my info before it's sent to printers. BUT THEN HE SAYS THEY JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER GOLF COURSE CONTRACT FOR 10 MORE AREA COURSES AND SINCE IT WAS SOOOO CLOSE TO PRINTING DEADLINE AND THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY THEN HE WOULD OFFER ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLACE MY AD IN THESE ADDITIONAL 10 COURSES FOR ONLY $500 MORE. HIS RATIONAL WAS THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET ANOTHER ADVERTISER FOR THESE BOOKS THE THEY WOULD JUST OFFER THEM TO THE EXISTING ADVERTISERS AT AN REDUCED COST. AFTER SOME NEGOTIATION I WAS OFFERED THIS ADDITIONAL AD FOR ONLY $200 WHICH I PUT ON MY CC, BUT THEN MY WIFE STARTED LOOKING THIS COMPANY UP AND FOUND LOTS OF NEGATIVES AGAINST THEM. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE $200 CHARGE REVERSED WITH NOT A PEEP OUT OF GOOD LIFE PUBLISHING. ON AUGUST 14TH I EMAILED MIKE TO SEE WHERE THE BOOKS WERE AND HE REPLIED THEY WERE AT THE PRINTERS AND WOULD BE MAILED OUT( I WAS TO GET A COPY OF EACH EDITION)AND DELIVERED NEXT WEEK. WELL THIS WEEK (SEPT.08) NO BOOKS, PHONES HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED, EMAILS NO LONGER DELIVERABLE. SO AT THIS POINT I'M SURE THERE WILL BE NO BOOKS PUBLISHED.
