Patent & Trademark Institute Of America - United Licensing Corporation ripoff Roslyn Heights New York

I dealt with a guy named Pat Ralston at PTI who liked my invention and everything, so I sent close to $6,000.00 to the company to help me get my invention out there, but I never heard anything back from them. So, I feel that I wasted my money...

Basically, I thought of an invention that would be a great idea for music and entertainment... Pat Ralston of PTI thought the same thing (as well as close friends and family)... I was looking forward to work with these guys until the invention was sold to a company or put on shelves in stores... But after a while, I heard nothing from them. I spent close to $6,000.00 (I have all the receipts) on getting my dream invention out there for the public to see, but I never received any updates or anything from the company (accept research documents). Then my invention was transferred to the United Licensing Corporation, and I was dealing with a guy there named Keith (who is the Managing Director). I contacted him numerous times to find out the status of my invention, but I never got a response. Then one day I sent him an email to change my phone number on my profile to my cell number, and ironically he responded and said that he will change it. So, I tried to contact him again about the invention, and once again, no response... Then recently I tried to email him, and his email address no longer exists. So, I either want my money back, or I want an update on the status of my invention. Please help.
