Paramount Books Media & Raymone King Took money with NO SERVICE! California

An agent named Darren Matthew from Paramount Books Media called & told me they're interested in my book & want to market it for me. I researched & nothing bad about them on the Internet. I told him I was scammed once before from Tate Publisher (Mustang, Oklahoma). He assured me that we'll walk together. I had to pay upfront. Their PayPal service did not take my credit card. That should be the sign for me to walk away!

I then signed a check in the amount of $2,999.00. They took a photo of my check & note & sent it to me, but did not produce any receipt. I insisted to have a receipt. The owner & Business Manager Raymone King finally sent me a receipt after a month of my nagging. After signing the contract saying if there is no service for 3 months, either party can back out of the contract & the customer will get his/her refund in full. His wife/colleague Maine Mendoza called me only once & never contacted me again. Paramount did not do anything for me, not even an email to explain about which service they would do for me.

After 3 months, I contacted Darren Matthew who informed me that he was no longer with Paramount. He regretted that he would lead me on like that, but his apology was too late. I was able to contact Raymone King who told me to give him 2 days to make it right & simply hung up on me. Needless to say, he never called me back or made it right for me.

Paramount Books Media & all these individuals should not get approval from the State of California to do anything. Perhaps, jail would be the suitable place for them to work. If I have had some info on how bad this company is, I would make the right decision & not go with them. I hope my report will get the Better Business Bureau in California to invetigate & shut down Paramount Books Media & prosecute Raymone King & their associates to the extent of the law. Also, I pray that my report will be a good warning for all customers to stay away from Raymone King, Pramount Books Media, & its associates. I also ask you to help get my money back if possible. Thank you.
