Have you ever heard of the website/and or book: www.poetry.com or Immortal Verses? Well, if you've sent your poetry in and you're still waiting for your book/poem online, I suggest you just give up. This "Howard Ely" is a FAKE. I looked him up online after recieving a letter in the mail telling me that I was going to be published into Immortal Verses in...Decemeber of 2008, and instead of finding a simple "OFFICIAL WEBSITE", I found RIP-OFF SCAM REPORT. I of course began reading through all of the Rip off reports, and I became so angry I started to cry. I signed a petition I found that was started by another person, much older than me, whose dream was also ripped from her. I figured, why not start one on gaia to help get Poet's money/dignity back.
The so-called adress is OWNING MILLS 20017. I looked everything up that I got on the letter, and all I got was: "No area" "RIPOFF REPORT".
