Mycroft Joshua Montgomery Do not work with Mycroft they don't follow through on commitments San Francisco California
I represent a small PR firm that works with startup companies. I talked with Joshua on skype for about an hour and we went over what I believed we could do for his company. He asked for our fee and I told him $3,000, he agreed and asked for me to send the contract but that he might have a couple revisions.
I sent the contract and he sent it back to me several days later: The only thing that was changed was the pricing. He insisted that he wanted to pay us in 3 installements of $1000 every 10 days, I informed him that I could agree to that but that it made me nervous that he didn't mention this over email or phone. He informed me that it was his way of protecting his business because he hadn't worked with us before and because we're a small firm.
Within a week we had achieved 4 articles for them and up until that point he had been very communicative. He was suppose to make the second payment on the 10th of Feb. I called both Josh and his partner on the 10th to see what the plan was for payment. No response. I emailed them both. No response. I followed up several times with them over the course of the next week and I got no response.
Finally, I sent an email explaining that I was disappointed in the situation and that I would appreciate if they would simply call me and work it out instead of ignoring me. No response.
I met up with one of my journalist friends for lunch and during the course of the meal we talked about the situation and my friend offered to write an article if he didn't comply. Seeing little other choice I agreed. My friend sent out an email to him and informed him of the pending article. Lo and Behold all of a sudden we get a reply.
I'm writing this because he tried to con me again by saying that he'll pay me after his campaign is over but not if an article comes out. I told him he had 24 hours to pay what he owed, he refused.
Unforuantely we live in a world were people are constantly trying to take advantage of others.
TLDR: Mycroft and Joshua are unprofessional scammers who will take advantage of anyone they can to save a couple dollars. Do NOT work with them.
