This individual known as Precious Moise, business owner of Sofibiz tv broadcast as well as Owner of the alleged "The Caribbean Times Magazine".  She came into my business and did a commercial for me which I paid her $350 for which after airing it on streamline I realize I was more popular than her and she didn't gain me not one client.  I am paying her to promote me, however I (MY OWN BUSINESS) have over 500,000 views alone on my own youtube videos, she only has less than 200 views on all her videos on youtube. BEFORE YOU PAY SOMEONE TO PROMOTE YOU MAKE SURE YOUR STATS ARE NOT HIGHER THAN HERS!!! SHE HAS NO FOLLOWERS, SHE DESERVES NO MONEY TO PROMOTE! Her stats are horrible.  
However she told me she was coming out with a Magazine and to continue earning my business she said she will give me a Cover Page on her magazine and 2 pages inside magazine.  She agreed to do it for a total of $1000 / I gave her 2 checks for $250 each to cash one week of each other only because ad was not to come out till the next month, and she was not local.  I promised to pay her rest of $1000 balance however Sofi lied to me, the Magazine was not really created.  I was sent a page from photoshop or Kinkos showing a magazine Cover that she said I was on, however I am trying to locate this magazine every where and no magazine.  Finally when I got a hold of her she swore up and down that this was done, and I have every right to ask for a refund cause I don't have a copy of the ad myself however she said she would have the manager get it and mail it which manager name is Gil Saint.  I recieved an April Issue of the Magazine with one ad inside of the magazine.  I didn't pay for April and I was still looking for the one I am supposedly on the cover.

 She lied to me.  And when I finally agreed to take a refund.  She then said no this is what you paid for and i'm sending you a copy of what we thought u deserve.  I paid for the cover of Feb. and I didn't get no calls from anyone telling me they seen my work on this magazine.  I have a real ad in a local paper in my area and I get calls everyday.  I was lied to and now that I ask for a refund she has resulted in Slandering my companies name, she has made videos saying that I couldn't afford to pay for her ad, and I'm just upset.  I pay for ads every month and I get true results.  

Sofibiz is a Fraud.  She scammed me out of my money and Sofie aka Precious is acting like a third party came into my store and sold me on an ad.  NO she herself came into my store, and took my money and DID NOT RENDER SERVICES.  I TILL TODAY HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REFUND INSTEAD SHE HAS NOW BEEN DOING THE JOB OF PROMOTING MY BUSINESS EVEN THOUGHT ITS BAD PUBLICITY SHE IS PUTTING OUT ABOUT MY COMPANY, AT LEAST SHE IS WORKING NOW THAT IS ON PROMOTING ME, HOWEVER I PAID HER TO PROMOTE MY BUSINESS IN A GOOD WAY NOT NEGATIVE! SO THIS IS A BREACH ! SHE IS NOT TRUST WORTHY, IF ITS YOUR JOB TO SLANDER ME INSTEAD OF GIVE ME A REFUND, THAN YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO BAD BUSINESS AND I WON'T ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO GET ROBBED.  I'M GONNA DO MY DUTY AND SPREAD THE WORD.

Update on This Case

AUTHOR: ANONYMOUS - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, July 04, 2012

They are working on making there company real now. I am putting this out there cause my hand was forced.  Precious also known as Sofi stole my money I gave her 2 checks as she corrected on her site for $250 each so paying her total of $500 and didn't get nothing.  She made a video saying a ad would be $475 however you didn't do me a favor i over payed for no media, no coverage, no magazine to show for my money.  

For those of you who are starting a new business, when hiring someone to advertise your business please make sure you check there stats, see who is following them, how many friends do they have on social media sites, everyone in that business should have numbers of how many followers they have.  If they have any then how are the going to promote your company.  I realize I myself had bigger stats and was more popular on social sites then this so call promoter.  I advertise in local magazine and get my moneys worth.  When you pay for advertising you suppose to gain new clients from it. 

I didn't gain one client calling me or coming to visit me from "the alleged (The Carribbean Times Magazine) " .  If there was an ad out there I should get calls and if I didn't get any calls from that source then they lied there part was not done.  I ask for a refund.  If I paid which you have said I did where is my product or service rendered.  Why are you so quick to also make a video and refer to agents or other reps doing a bad job for doing services.  You were the rep that came into my shop. You are the one who took my money and cashed it Precious Moise no other rep why speak of yourself as a third person.  

This company is shamefully distasteful, not only she didn't get any positive results from slandering me. she actually earned me new customers cause she is finally advertising me, although its bad promotion she is trying to retaliate, but finally she is dong her job.  So thanks and Kudos to your team for promoting my business and earning me more subscribers, likes. friends, and closure to this whole crap.  Satisfied and Gratifed  you take so much energy to slander my company because you don't want to refund me my money you just put a stamp to failure of your business.
