WHAT IS YOUR COMPLAINT?

Name of mass media invention promoter advertised in:

Invention promotion services offered to be performed:

This company I had thought would be good for my product. They had wanted $685.00 to begin patenting my product. He called me several times until I came up with the money. I didn't have a job at the time, didn't realize what I was getting into or realize at the time I would have to give them more money to even further my product development and to have it patented. They just sent me paperwork and pictures of things that I had seen on the Internet. They made a booklet of my product and a bunch of other things. I could've put it together myself. For $685.00 they didn't do much at all. Then wanted $1,000 as a retainer and another $3,000 to patent. I've never even met these people, why would anyone just give that kind of money.
