Luxurious Lifestyle Magazine, Paid $2,300 for an ad for a three-year deal, Transferred to marketing department, Company ghosted me. Internet

I basically received a call from a magazine called Luxurious Lifestyle Magazine and they pretended to be a magazine company. When you google the name it leads to a website. I paid & nbsp;$2,300 for this ad for a three-year deal. After I was transferred to her marketing department that would work on an ad. After this the company ghosted me. The & quot;marketing & quot; department would not response. I call the number that sold me the ad and they tell me there is no one by the name of Lisa Roman of which I have texts from the number and her name as a signature.

At this point, I start researching and the company is no longer active. The magazine is no where to be found on any internet site (weird for a magazine). I skip-traced all the people I spoke to Lisa Roman, kelli Aldridge and nothing. I have several text messages and when you reverse prospect them they all go to different names and when you call someone answers and then pretends like they have no idea what I am talking about. After further review there are complaints, a facebook group with agents saying their were scammed and a facebook post from someone in my field saying they were scammed as well. I called the country clubs in which they stated the magazine is partnered with and they say they have no partnership with any magazine. The address of the corporation leads to another business which is not this one, complaints on BBB of similar stories, after you look closely at their website you & #39;ll notice the red flags when you look at the ads there are a bunch of misspelled words, errors and their website has basically nothing on it. THIS IS A SCAM. & nbsp;
