New Age Marketing Group Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Fraudulent advertising scam, magazine does not exist where it is promised in writing. Delray Beach Florida
I talked with a man named Robert Eisenhower, likely a fake name, who cold called me about a potential advertising opportunity which I had heard before about my target audience. The spot in the magazine was significantly cheaper and included a copy of the advertisment without watermark that I could use for the future. Robert sent an email with samples of their advertisments in other cities and had in writing what we discussed over the phone. It looked legitimit enough that I brought it before my partner and we decided not to do it. Robert called me back two days later and lowered the price to the point that I figured it is worth it and I signed up. After I gave him my billing information, he was suddenly in a hurry to get off the phone which was the red flag that led to my investigation.
I called the well known country clubs Robert's magazine was claiming they distribute to. None of them are distributing them. In fact one of the marketing representatives informed me this company has scammed some of their members. I called my bank and had them cancel the card immediatly and they informed me that they will take up to 45 business days to rectify this situation. Now I feel scammed by the bank. I thought these cards had protection. You can stop payment on a check but not a card. Seems like they are using this loophole to their advantage.
Long story short, do not give these guys a dime. I hope for their sake the $$ returns to my account.

I know of companies like this and threw some research of my own, It has been brought to my attention that they some salepeople that do streatch the truth and exagerate and fudge numbers, which I do not agree with at all. I believe the product should be described properly and not exagerated. I also believe that you can not always blame the salesperson at any particular company when they may not know exactly what is going on behind the scenes. Keep in mind they are only salespeople and do not handle the day to day workings of the company. However, People such as yourself and other business owners know exactly how to manipulate marketing, and publishing companies. What I mean by this, is that you order the ad and as soon as you receive ad proof you contact your credit card company and charge back, claiming buyers remourse or pushy salespeople or scam. When in fact all you are doing is manipulating the system and getting FREE GRAPHIC DESIGN WORK & AD PROOF, and getting all your money back from your credit card company. The only one being scammed is the company who provided you a free ad. So, who really got scammed here?
