I was contacted by Marc Schechter, of Atlantis Studios in Boca Raton FL. I paid them $5,000 to produce and air a TV commercial for my business on his Spring Showcase. From the time they got my money they never took any of my phone calls, answered any of my emails or replied to any of my written correspondence some of which was registered mail. Schechter told me my piece would air on Comcast, Disney Channel and America One, getting out to 22 million viewers. He never aired my ad nor sent me any proof of the ad airing despite repeated requests for that information. I was treated with complete contempt and the only email I got from Schechter was to threaten me with Police action if I didn't stop harassing him. He called my repeated requests for follow up information Harassment. He told me my airing logs would be forwarded to me months after the airings. I repeatedly asked for current airing times as I wanted to make sure the program was going out on air. This was a rip-off I paid $5,000 and only got a DVD of the Commercial. Beware, I understand this is a common scam in this particular industry.
