Total money lost $510
Type of a scam Charity
A woman called saying she was from Newport Harbor Highschool and she was doing a fundraiser for the sports teams at the school. For a mere $500 I could get my logo and small ad on sports bottles that would be sold at the school for additional fund raising dollars. They even went as far as to have a "graphic designer" create the graphic that would be on the bottles. I should have known it wasn’t for real when the guy was using office 2003…… Once the graphic was complete I never heard from the company again. I was to have received bottles that showed the graphic with my information and these sports bottles were to be on sale for every home football, women and men’s basketball games and every other sport offered at the school. (this was going to mean major exposure for me and my company) In addition to having these sports bottles for sale as a sponsor I was supposed to be thanked and introduced before each home game yada… none of that happened. They quit responding to multiple emails and never returned a phone call. It wasn’t until I instituted a fraud investigation with my bank and submitted my first complaint through the ScamPulse.com that they responded at all – and that was only through the ScamPulse.com website. This is a scam company and no one should fall prey to their ploy. I wish I had just given the $510 to the school directly.
