On May 15th, 2015, I received a phone call from a person named Rachel with Royal Publishing. She was trying to fill up a school program with last minute advertisers for the Oviedo High School Baseball Championship game.
I told her I was interested. She told me what the price would be for a quarter page ad - $155.00. I said okay.
She sent me the bill to my workplace. It was then that I realized I didn't speak to a student, as is typical, to sell the ads, but rather a publishing company. I received one piece of paper with the amount due, and how to pay it. On the back was a picture if you will, of my ad.... black and white. No program, no proof that my ad ever went into any school program.
I called the company to ask that a copy be sent to me before I pay the bill. She said she could email it to me. In my email, I received the same black and white picture of an ad. I returned this email and requested that the program be sent to my business address.
I have not heard back yet from them. I am very concerned that this is a rip off, that no ad was placed in a fictitious program. I am also concerned that they will be harassing me at my business workplace.
WE WERE CALLED BY THIS COMPANY AND ASKED TO DONATE TO THE SOFTBALL TEAM , WE SAID WE WOULD GIVE 90.00 AND THEN WE RECIEVED AN INVOICE FOR THE AMOUNT., WE PAID THIS WITH A CHECK, I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED AN INVOICE FOR A DONATION BEFORE. THIS COMPANY ALSO CALLS ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND HARRASES UP TO PAY. WE SENT THE CHECK TO THEM.
