Northwest Publishing - The Trivia Pages Sold advertising in a booklet to be placed in restaurants and bars. None of the establishments they listed have ever displayed this booklet. Portland Oregon

Exactly similar to other reports here.  The sales representative, John Whiat, represented that the company had secured an agreement with a list of 7 restaurants and bars that would place their booklets on tables. He said they were working on additional establishments.  These were all nearby my store.  In my visits I had never seen the booklets. I started talking to folks at the establishments and they didn't have any idea what I was talking about.  I signed an agreement in January and finally asked for refund in August.

I received an email August 31, 2009 that said the latest booklets were shipped on August 18, 2009. As "proof" they sent me a UPS shipping log.  The shipping log was from April, 2009. If the shipment was 2 weeks prior why not send me that shipping log? Still no booklets in the listed establishments.

I was told I could not get a refund because it was 5 days past the original sign date of the contract. Of course, this 5 day period was long before they scheduled to deliver any product. So, it is impossible to ever get a refund.
