That one.

Someone who promises one thing to get your money & does not deliver it (or delivers a watered down version of it).

Well, as an examaple, my partner & I were promised a certain amount of work & a certain about of money. Storm & Jinjee told our landlord they were our employeer & told them we'd be making a certain amount of money in order to be able to cover rent (the place was rather pricey).

I won't say they never gave us a single cent for our work. They gave us about $150. Jinjee also told Jamie she wanted her to be in a new movie she was making. It was never made.

She promised her she'd be there for her childbirth. Instead she moved away without telling us & was not in touch @ all since except to ask us to do more work. Jamie felt abandoned & we were stuck in our place with a lease. Eventually we moved back to New Jersey & Jamie got midwives at 7-months pregnant, the midwives ditched her at the last minute, kept her $3,000 & she ended up giving birth in a hospital, something she never wanted. All because she was misled and lied to (and poor planning & not trusting her intuition, I knew the midwives she hired were bad news but she didn't listen to me).

That's one example, another is promising a "Raw TV network" for kids with hours of programming, getting people to buy in in advanced & putting almost no new shows on there. Same with their "uncooking" "network".

They also lied to us on numerous occasions. Always with a smile.

Not with us. Besides our lease. Not sure about Kevin Schmidt or others they've taken advantage of, they try to avoid contracts I'd imagine.

Again, depends on the case, I can only speak for my own experience with them.

Yes.

See above.
