I, like countless others, submitted one of my works to the poetry.com. I was not interested in the contest, but my girlfriend thought I should submit one just for the heck of it. Well, of course I got thier letter informing me of being a finalist, and of course being published in the Who's Who Of Poetry. I thought this sounded kind of funny as how they were wanting to publish my work, and wanted me to pay them. I did a little investigating and found that 20/20 had actually done an expose' on this site.The link to the article is https://windpub.com/literary.scams/abc-nlp.htm . I myself, just went ahead and set up my own site, with my own works on it. It is mainly intended for my girlfriend, so that she can have an online library of the poems I have written just for her. I hope that someone eventually does something to stop the endless scamming of people on the net. But, then again, if people would stop and look into what they are doing, alot of these companies would simply fade away.
