  GTMAP.com and the man *********************** that runs it, is a scam that uses God to preys on hard working authors! He uses the word donation so he cannot be held legally responsible for his actions. The *** of gtmap, *****, reached out to me to be a featured author on his website. He asked for a $45 donation to be one of these featured authors.I agreed so I could get the word out about my book. Not 24 hours later he calls and leaves me a message about doing a live interview on his broadcast channel. I was out of town and told him I would check back after I got home. After checking his website 3 days later I did not see my book listed so I called him back. He gave some story about being busy and then proceeded to ask me about the live interview and told me that all I had to do was put a $40 airtime deposit for Roku. This is when I started to get concerned it may be a scam but when I looked he had listed my book, so out of good faith I agreed to pay the deposit to set the time. He said he would contact me the following Monday to confirm the day and time. I never heard from him so on Wednesday I sent a text asking for a refund. This way I had a physical proof of our conversation. He promptly called me and left a very nasty voicemail accusing me of being unprofessional because I used text for my business and continued to gaslight me saying he was the professional and that the day and time is confirmed for the interview. Once again I sent him a text stating that most of my business is done by text or email and I will be looking for the email of interview confirmation. If his has been 2 weeks ago and I have not heard back from him.

  I was contacted on August 30, 2023 via telephone by *********************** about the opportunity to be interviewed on 2 radio stations via telephone (one on 9/1 In Milwaukee & 9/7 in *******) for a fee of $25 each. *********************** texted and called me the following day (8/31) to say the stations wanted to air the interview for 2 days at $25 each day. I declined. On 9/1 I never received a call so I texted and called the Pastor. He texted back stated he called ********* and that I was scheduled for 9/2. I told him I was not available and to refund my money. The pastor offered to interview me again that night because he was on the air, I declined and asked for my money back. ***** said he would take care of it. I texted ***** to inquire about my refund and interview with the ******* station on 9/3 without a reply. I called ***** on 9/6 and he stated he would call me back, but did not. On 9/7 I sent ***** a message I received from someone about his shady practices and asked him if this was a pattern for him, he replied wow. I then asked was the ******* interview still on without a reply. On 9/8 ***** texted that he requested a refund from the 2 stations which would be returned within 48 hours. ***** has since stopped answering my calls and text and had not refunded my money.
