WHAT IS YOUR COMPLAINT?

Name of mass media invention promoter advertised in: TV

Invention promotion services offered to be performed: Take my invention from idea to production

Explanation of complaint between customer and invention promoter: Promoter requested $700.00 (up front) for a patent search. I paid the $700.00 and explained to the rep. that I was not able to pay any additional money. I was assured that was not a problem. A second phone call told me things were progressing "amazing fast". Again I explained that I had no additional money for this project and again I was assured that would be no problem. They would just increase the percentage due them for future royalties. I then received documents from the Co. requesting additional money and four choices for accomplishing this. I became suspicious and sent them no more money. If only I had researched this Co. more thoroughly. How are they allowed to stay in business???
