Complaint Review: Smooth As Kappacino - Marietta Georgia

I'm a young lady that was contacted by the so-called President of Smooth As Kappacino, Inc who goes by the name of Breeze. He's supposed to be some big dude in spoken word. But then again, how big is the genre of Spoken Word? Not huge. (However, it has a stable audience.) So Mr. Breeze, contacted me from his profile on a site called Ourstage.com that let's independent artists showcase their talents and compete against others. The company's profile on Ourstage.com is located here: http://www.ourstage.com/fanclub/breezefifthelement

I'm not in the business of tearing down the integrity of others, but it's not nice nor is it ethical to try to use someone's hopes and dreams as bait for one's own bidding. I was offered an opportunity to work with the company that would have afforded me a 70K/yr salary and the chance to travel to Nigeria. I'm not a pessimist so I was willing to take a chance as long as some paperwork was properly put into place. I received a "pieced-together" contract via email (wrong!) after repeating following-up with Breeze about the progress of our venture. Once I saw that the contract wasn't uniformed, formatted incorrectly, with no To:/ From:/ Re: or effective date information and no office address info I definitely knew that something wasn't right. In the beginning of this venture, I was assured that the company was bonded and that they would take care of getting my passport expedited for the purposes of traveling overseas. All that I was required to do was cover my application fee and get the proper pictures done for the passport submission. I didn't everything that was asked but was never issued my passport from SAK, Inc.

Several times I've asked for my money back and just to peacefully break ties without any problems and for the refund of my $100. Sounded easy enough to me. However, each time that I requested my money back, I was asked to lunch to patch things up, received a phone call or giving some excuse as to why things were delayed and for me not to worry. I was promised to be cut a check on January 1, 2009, then January 15, 2009 and then February 3, 2009 and none of that took place. Nor did we every solidify the contract. With all of that said, Breeze is a scam artist and I would advise that no one take part in their con-artistry.

I actually went along with it to see how far he would hold up the lies. Unfortunately, he's willing to hold on to them for much more than it's worth and it has come to this. I saw another complain on another site of which some poor guy was shafted out of $1000 for a book deal. I asked Mr. Watson about it and he didn't give a clear answer as to why this man was so upset. Maybe I only invested $100, but for me it was like giving up a $1000. I'm unemployed and really needed this contract to be legitimate. What was done to me isn't a crime by state law, but it's definitely a civil violation and the Universe will balance things out accordingly. I think that this guy was just trying to bait me for sex. That topic came up more often than not, which was uncomfortable and annoying. Thank God I was smart enough not to go that far. Am I angry? No. I still have my integrity and my talents to foster throughout the journey of my life. As for Smooth As Kappacino, Inc., I feel sorry for those who would with him in this company because he's breaking down their reputation and in the entertainment business, that's golden.

Very disgruntled
