We were contacted by Linda in June 2009 regarding advertising in her upcoming book for the wedding industry. She was attracted to us because of the ties to cancer we had and family losses. As the book proceeds were to go to cancer research, it was a nice tie-in. After more research and discussion, we decided to work with her and Tom and purchased several ad spots with them.


We were also approached to attend the book launch in October 2009 which was to be held in Las Vegas. We booked hotel rooms and a flight. 4 days before the event, we were informed it had been cancelled. We were able to cancel the rooms and reuse the tickets.


As time went by, it became painfully apparent that the book was not going to happen and that we had been defrauded. Many people started coming forward, some contacting us to find we had all had similar treatment. Some people had lost $50,000 or more!


We were promised up until February 2010 that we would be receiving a refunds for our two ad spots but as of today, November 3, 2010, those refunds have not been received nor do we ever expect to see them.


We hope that one day, the law catches up with these two and puts them in prison for MANY years!
