DAVID BRIN CONTACTED OUR COMPANY ON 4/11/2011 WITH AN OFFER OF HAVING US EXCLUSIVELY IN A MAGAZINE CALLED "HOTEL EMPLOYEES REFERRAL" THAT TARGETS CASINO EMPLOYEES. HE SAID THAT THE AD WOULD RUN FOR 3 ISSUES AND THAT HE HAS A GREAT RATE FOR US. AFTER MEETING WITH THE DOCTOR OF OUR PRACTICE (REVIVE WEIGHT LOSS), HE INFORMED HER OF THE SPECIAL AND SHE WROTE A CHECK TO HIM OF $690.

HE STATED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE A PROOF IN A FEW WEEKS. WE CALLED AT THE END OF APRIL, AND HE STATED THAT THE AD WOULD BE READY IN A WEEK. I CALLED BACK ON MAY 2ND AND LEFT A MESSAGE, HE CALLED BACK AND STATED THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE PROOF ON MAY 9TH. THAT HIS DESIGNER HAS SEVERAL PROJECTS TO WORK ON AND THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO APPROVE THE PROOF BEFORE IT GOES TO PRINT.

I LET THE DOCTOR KNOW AND SHE STATED THAT THIS IS NOT WHAT SHE WAS PROMISED AND ASKED ME TO CANCEL THE PROJECT. I CALLED DAVID BRIN AND INFORMED HIM THAT WE WANTED TO CANCEL AND REQUESTED OUR MONEY BACK. HE STARTED TO GET LOUD WITH ME ON THE PHONE SAYING THINGS LIKE "WHAT DID I DO WRONG" AND "THE PROJECT IS ALMOST DONE". I EXPLAINED THAT WE DID NOT WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AND THAT WE WANTED THE MONEY BACK. HE GOT EVEN MORE IRATE AND STARTED SCREAMING AT ME. I TOLD HIM I WOULD HAVE THE DOCTOR SPEAK WITH HIM DIRECTLY.

THE DOCTOR CALLED HIM BACK AND REPEATED THE REQUEST TO HIM, HE CONVINCED HER THAT HE WOULD HAVE THE PROOF ON FRIDAY MAY 13TH. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN, I TRIED CALLING ON MAY 16TH AND THE 17TH, ALL I GOT WAS HIS VOICE MAIL. THE DOCTOR AND I LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES ON THE PHONE NUMBERS LISTED ON THE CONTRACT THAT WAS WRITTEN IN A FADED ORANGE MARKER: 702-771-0372 & 702-594-8516. AFTER RESEARCHING DAVID BRIN'S NAME I FOUND THAT HE HAS SCAMMED NUMEROUS BUSINESSES OUT OF THEIR MONEY AND THAT HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. WE HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS AND WILL TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION NEEDED AGAINST HIM AND TO CREATE A BETTER SCREENING PROCESS OF OUR VENDORS.
