Alaska gedeon emailed me saying he had ran across my music online and he wasn't reaching out to me to scam me like most industry contacts but he wanted to help me take my music to another level.  I emailed him back and eventually called him and talked to him. We texted about what I might needed to really escalate my career and I told him getting my music on the radio. He then asked what was my budget But in the email he said he wasn't going to scam me out of any money , that was my first hint I noticed. 

So time passes by and I'm getting the money together and he's texting me asking me if I had the budget ready and I told him 500.00 . He then said its to show that I'm giving up something to help my career out And that he's only staying in contact with me & my twin brother so that possible he can get us a deal with The Atlantic records Family. 

Days pass by and I haven't sent him the money and he's texting me saying he has a meeting with LA REID and that I've went MIA asking me do I have the money because he's about to go on a honey moon So let him know something. When we finally decided to send him the money he has us send it to his Assistant Daviyon Scott , State:Akron ,Ohio,(((Redacted))) , but the first time he sent a invoice to my email with his name on it with no zip code & no state. That's the 2nd hint I noticed. 

So once we send the money through through western union I sent him the tracking number in which I still have and he asks me which name is it in and I told him mine. A day after he texts me and says he was getting off of a airplane and he wanted to check in with us. I then tell him we are good & that we are ready to work & I get no response. I then text him later on that night and ask him what other steps can we start on and he says right now , nothing & that to keep writing he has to get things situated. 

Days  go by and he asks us for a bio , we send it to him and he takes a day to tell me he can't open it through email. I then send it correctly and he said he received it. I texted him on October 22 , 2014 , October 25 , 27th , November 1st & Then November 9th Receiving no texts back. He then texts me later on on Nov 9th apologizing for the break in communication and that he completely shatters his phone while on Honeymoon. After that we are texting and talking about other artist and Then he tells me that Him & LA REID have a big showcase on the 23rd they've been planning it for months now and he think it would be important for us to attend. I agree and he then tells me that LA REID is charging 250$ per artist which would be the performance fee and he would cover the hotel and flight fee. I told him ok and he said he would tell LA REID to to add us to the show list and we could release the single before that so we can perform it there at the showcase. I said great and he immediately asked when will we have our performance fees ready and I told him I'm not sure yet and asked him are we still doing the radio play that we payed for and he said yes he needs the full session file in order to get it mastered. We never sent him the money for the performance and he never says nothing about it. 

Some more days pass by and I told him I have it how can I send it and he tells me email. I then ask him can I get something in writing saying what's provided upon us sending our session files for the single , that way he can't give it to another artist. I get no text back and That was on Nov 15th. I then texted him Nov 18th asking for the same contract in writing and he says yeah he can give us one. I never received it. He never texts me so I texted him on NOV 20th and didn't recieve a message. I texted again a day later Nov 21st telling him were ready to work and that things have been going to slow. All he says is What's up. Then he says where did we leave off last time we spoke and I told him AGAIN that I would like something in writing or a contract for the single to make sure he doesn't do anything with it he's not suppose to. I received NO text back.

I texted Him NOV 22nd and told him he never responded yesterday & he never texted back. I texted him Nov24 and still didn't recieve a text back which was a day after this so called "showcase" . If it was really one why didn't he text or say anything about it or how it was or anything ? CAUSE THERE WAS NEVER A SHOWCASE .  

I then text him Nov 26th , 27th . Receiving no text back . On Nov 30th I texted him and told him I had sent him a email saying can he call me but he never did so I would like my money back or we would have to take it to court. He never responded. The last time I texted him was on December 3rd 2014 asking him what's going on and that im sending him emails and he never responded. It is now January 12th 2015 and I STILL haven't heard anything or recieved a call or email from him and when I call he never answers and I finally found out he was using a Google subscribed number. I know it was actually him because I heard his voice over the phone when we talked before and I watchEd a part of his show on YouTube and known EXACTLY that that was Alaska Gedeon. 

If anybody can please help us get this noticed and justified. My twin brother and I live on our own and worked very hard for that money not to get nothing back in return and on top of that get our hopes up for our dreams that we had since we was 6 years old working hard and praticing hard only to get cheated out of our money that we can really use now and that we NEED !
