Over the past three years, I began to submit my poetry in contests and had them published - three of them in a publication sold at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com. So I did not suspect that when the International Who's Who in Poetry 2012 sent me an invitation in August to submit a new poem and have it critiqued and published that I was going to be scammed. I have not been able to reach a "live person" as to whether or not my poem will be submitted for publication, yet my account shows that I've been charged in advance for a copy of the book at a "Special Pre-Publication Discount." When I have tried to contact them via e-mail, I receive an automatic response to view its FAQ page and that it is not possible to expect a personal reply.
Upon researching this organization on-line, I came across several sites that indicated others had been scammed as well. I would like to get my money back and see this place put out of business.
