Description

Mario Jourdan called me about my listing said it was good fit for the next issue of Affluent Proprietor magazine. He sent me an email and link to see the magazine. The magazine claims to be active since 2004. I saw no bad reviews or indicators on the web to tell me it was not what he said. He offered me deal on advertising $500 for the next issue going out on August 15. When it did not go out. He said I misunderstood it will be in September issue 9-15. Then said it was delayed, publishing is going out about 10 days late. Then he said it was published, but going out October 15. The magazine claims it is only for ultra wealthy subscribers. I can only see it on line with his permission. I saw two issues. The second one looked suspicious in quality. I believe there is no magazine. It is a scam. I havev asked my credit card to recover my loss. They say 2/3 days I should have my money back. I want consumers to know this is not real.
