    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.

    Date: 02/15/2024

    I have not heard from the business in response to my complaint.

    I inquired on Dec.19 what they plan to do to complete the job. 
    My contact passed the question on to the Owner the next day, Dec.20, 2023, and I have not heard from them since.
    So, I'm out $1500 which I paid to get booked on 20 podcasts, guaranteed.
    I'm asking for the other 19/20ths to be refunded to me, or $1425.
    No response from the owner of Newman Communications, ****** Newman. 

    I hope you will continue to follow up.  
    Thankyou!
