Elegance Media & Publications is the registered name of the company. They originally reached out and sent an email that acted as if they had done business with us in the past. We did advertise our company but never received an editorial or any more information after we sent the funds. Then 6 months later they reached out again and said that we were being billed quarterly and did i want to change my advertisement at all. Once i looked into their company, there were several other construction associations (that elegance was claiming to be partnered with) that had put out scam alerts on the this company. I confronted them on it and they denied any wrongdoing and said that they would remove our information. a couple of months later, they reached out again with an advertisement we had sent to another agency and offered to keep us at the previous rate. I told them that i had never sent them that advertisement and asked them if they had permission from the other company to use it. They had also sent previously a copy of one of the "magazines" but it was filled with editorials from other sources. They go by several names, their government name (see above), Marbur Media Publications, Building in America, Building in Ohio and others. Hoping that by submitting this claim it will help warn others. Thank you.

I was called by a salesperson at GC HomeMag to invest in advertising in this magazine. I chose to. It would be delivered to 11 Country Clubs in my surrounding area and mailed to individuals near each club. I was to receive multiple copies. Three of the clubs have never heard of this magazine and have not seen it. Do not let anyone else be acamed by this company. Jeff, the owner, was rude and is lying. Only saying he mailed them and it's not his problem after that.

They claim to be a business that provides a magazine for rich people and had a website, sent emails with ad mock-ups and even updates with a contract for the ad durations and location. However, after a week the website and email were gone. The business was a scam.
