An individual named Iyron Davis reached out to our company about obtaining some of our products. He said that he was the founder of the company and his publication reached over 100, 000 subscribers each month. He was very adamant about letting us know how lucrative it would be if we have him some of our luxury goods for him to "test". In return, he would offer a large feature in his magazine to promote our brand. Needless to say, we agreed to send him some of our products (approximately $2, 000 worth) in exchange for the promised advertisement. Mr Davis said that the advertisement would be a part of the next issue if he received our products before a certain date. Our products were delivered to Mr Davis on the promised date. We fully expected to see these products and our company featured within his magazine in its next release. Neither our name or our products could be found in the issue. We reached out to Mr Davis who was somewhat apologetic in our conversation. He promised that the placement would be in the following issue. We waited patiently and were shocked to find that he had done the exact same thing once again. We tried reaching out to Mr Davis several times without any response. I wanted to share our experience with Iyron Davis / The Blueprint Magazine so that others won't fall prey to his scam. Upon further research, it turns out that this same thing has happened to many others as well. Iyron Davis also runs the same scam in his other publications: SommoVita.com TheBlueprintlifestyle CremLife Iyron Davis [protected]
So whatever came of this? I'm interested in finding what happened and who, basically lied.
Hello again from The Blueprint Magazine,
My name is Scott Verel of The Blueprint Magazine’s Executive Customer Relations. We found three duplicate posts about your experience with our company and staff on pissedconsumer.com (http://bit.ly/1kHUK37) and /link removed/ (http://bit.ly/1OhvU3n) and I would like to reply on their behalf to “fact check” this issue.
I took a few days to thoroughly look up your company “LuxurySpec” in our advertising financial records, emails and online search engines; but I could not find your company, mailing address, email contact(s), or website. In one post you stated your business is located in New York, USA and the other one says Indianapolis, Indiana but with the same review (screenshots below).

To fully resolve your claims on this post we would first need to verify that your complaint/experience with our company is legitimate. Could you again please email us or post a reply to this response with a copy of a billing invoice from our company that includes our banking information, shipping records, or proof that our staff contacted your business. Also we would need to verify what year this claim took place, the date you sent the items and an itemized list of the products with SKU numbers that you claimed in both reviews that “Luxury Spec” sent our company (the products you mentioned that were valued around $2, 000.00 USD). Your latest response was as stated, "The company was bought out by a venture capitalist and liquidated nearly a year ago, " which is not true, the company still exist and is fully operational. The Blueprint Magazine has billing records going back to it's origin in 2012, so again could you send us your official billing or shipping records.
The Blueprint Magazine has worked really hard this year to repair their reputation, products and customer support. All back issues can be purchased in print and digital formats here: http://squ.re/1LFtLNZ
If your claim is true then I’m confident we can resolve this experience promptly, give your company a full refund and try our best to reestablish a business relationship.
If this claim is false then we will take full legal actions to obtain a court order for .complaintsboard.com, subpoena the IP address/ISP provider records and file a lawsuit against the person/company responsible for posting fraudulent and slanderous reviews about our company and staff.
Please contact me directly if you have any additional information to confirm this experience with The Blueprint Magazine.
Regards,
Scott Verel
Public Relations, The Blueprint Magazine
