I contacted Miles Shumilak (owner/editor) of The LIST Magazine about possibly featuring my band on his website, we spoke on the phone and he agreed it would be a great idea. There was no mention of cost at all.
After we filled out interview questions, emailed back and forth about promotion details, and submitted photos, he requested payment to "cover operations costs" of posting our info. Since we'd gotten that far, I simply paid it through PayPal.
Weeks went by and nothing went up on the website. I emailed to follow up, to which he said they were incredibly busy and not to worry, the feature would be posted soon. I followed up several weeks later. No response.
Months later, he has still never responded to any communications. And of course, no feature was ever posted.
It has been brought to my attention that Miles has run this scam on other musicians as well.
To any bands out there looking for good promotion partners, DO NOT work with Miles Shumilak or The List. He is running a scam to take your money and give nothing in return.

I have been trying to get some sort of resolution out of Miles since Sept 25th 2011, when I paypalled him $25. For a few weeks prior to that we'd talked via email about me being featured on The List. He'd sent me a list of Interview Questions that I promptly replied to, and then after a few more emails he'd said that I needed to pay him the money before I would be published. When I paid, I received this email from him:
"Cool thanks man, just helps with operation costs so we aren't cluttered with lame ads. Our readers and artists are all happier this way. Just let me know when you're ready to move forward so we can put you in the schedule, glad to have you on the team!
You don't need an account, the request has instructions for a regular card, works great for everyone we work with.

After two months had gone by and still no word from him, I began emailing him again. Then I received this email on 11.30.11:
"Hey man you guys are all done! My editor will send everything to you ..."
Needless to say, I never got anything from an editor... or Miles for that matter.
I sent many more emails to Miles, all of which have been ignored.
My last email to him was on 2.16.12, basically stating that I now understood just how ripped off I was. Never heard back from him. He blocked me on facebook and did not refund my money back as I had requested in the 2.16.12 email to him.
Very disappointed... and his flippant response above, that it was only $25 is pretty rude.

This miss-communication has been successfully resolved and is in the process of being removed. The author of this complaint, Chris Orsi, originally didn't receive the completed feature on his band, Lipstick and Cigarettes. Once this was brought to my attention I made sure to get it to him, and now everyone is happy.
"Hey Miles, thanks so much for coming through for us. You really went all out on this. It really means a lot! I contacted Ripoff Report and put in a request to remove the posting. I'll keep you updated when its gone. I'm sorry things had gotten so complicated, but everything is cool now."
Anyone who has questions or issues can contact me at www.thelistmag.biz and we'll be happy to take care of you. Thanks!
Lipstick and Cigarettes are on The LIST!

Total lie. I contacted Miles several times via email for the past 6 months and every email was ignored.
I contacted him on Facebook and he blocked me. Is that good customer service? He knows I was reaching out to him if he made an effort to block me, but naturally no response about getting a refund.
I then reported him to the BBB, FTC, and California Department of Justice. He has also ignored all attempts to resolve through them as well.
It's amazing he can take the time to respond to this, but not respond to an email I sent several months ago.
I have also been in contact with two other bands he did the same exact thing to. So, this is not just some random miscommunication, it is clearly a scam.
Refund my money, Miles. You know who I am and you have all my emails.

What's going on guys? Must have been a mistake or the link didn't get to you. Gimme your band name and I'll post it right here ... Don't stress! It's only a $25 publishing fee, it can be refunded pretty easily. Sorry for the miscommunication, I'm buried in emails. =)
We have tons of happy bands, references available. Best of luck!
