Business ProfileforD&D Advertising Enterprises, Inc.

I was in the midst of opening my new business in *******,** in July 2021. A person representing D&D advertising but claimed he was with the ********** ** ***** ****. He asked if we wanted to advertise on their upcoming basketball schedule and I agreed to pay $479 for a corner ad spot of which he said he only had one spot left and he said we would own that spot on every schedule that got distributed in ***** **** and surrounding areas. It turns out D&D has no association with ***** **** and neither did the employee claiming he was. Secondly today at the gym I noticed one of their schedules that had a different business in my spot that I owned. I called them and they stated they double sold the ad spots which was never disclosed to me as I was told to hurry and pay because I would lose that one last spot left. I called the other business and they verified they were not told I had already purchased that spot. I spoke to Diane of D&D today and she said she knows they double sold them and they had the right to do that and they wouldn’t be refunding my money. She said she could’ve sold that spot 5 times over and I still wouldn’t get my money back. I said well I’m going to call the other businesses and notify them that you double sold their “exclusive” spots to which she replied she will sue me for slander. This is a pretty solid case of fraud and attempted intimidation by the owner of the business.
