The International Library Of Poetry - Poetry - Howard Ely a lying, greedy, ripoff, SCAM Owings Mills Maryland

I wrote this poem, entitled "Bored". I wrote it it about 5 minutes, but about 3 weeks later, I recieve this letter, telling me I entered this contest and could win 10,000 dollars, and have my poem published in this book, "Eternal Portraits".

Anyway, I was curious about this. It was just way too good to be true. I kept reading, and then it told me to buy the book, which was $50! Oh, and if I wanted a Authors page, that was $20 more, and and don't forget about the case for 20 more dollars.

I was just like, no freaking way. So I had a hunch about whether it was a scam, did some research and found that it was! I am so glad I found this website telling me the truth. And to think, my sister wanted me to pay for it without researching it, because she thought it was cool.

I hope this can help someone, just as this site helped me.
