            Invoice from Newman $1,500.00 Due September 14, 2023 To *******************************. From Newman Memo Guaranteed 20 radio/podcasts for ******************************* on high-end podcasts and ********* and **************** to publicize "Pro-Family, Pro-Adoption. A *********'s Guide to Unplanned Pregnancy Options." The program begins upon execution of this invoice and includes all writing of pitches, media lists, pitches every 14 days, and follow-up. The program ends at 20 approved audio interviews completed. An optional media training is included. I fully paid this invoice before any work began.Net result of the Newman work was ONE podcast. TWENTY were GUARANTEED for the cost of $1500. But they stopped answering emails and now it's February and I have not heard from these guys since Christmas. Clearly they have stopped working after booking one podcast interview. Not 20. I'm requesting 19/20 of my money back. Or $1425.

            Scam alert!These guys sound good at the beginning and guarantee 20 podcast guest spots for $1500, but they dont deliver. They dont even respond. They dont even an effort to deliver, much less feel badly about it.I cant believe I fell for this, and I hope that you wont.

            ******************************* is a well known right to life activist. Her book was rejected by hundreds of media. Her abusive narrative about women could not be pitched. While we believe that there are two sides to this argument, ********   a womens right to choose to terminate a pregnancy, I have two adopted children. ******** puts herself out as an advocate for adoption. She is not. She is an angry advocate against a womans right to choose. She has been sent back her fee and refuses to acknowledge that.
