vigournet: I am in a bit of a dilemma as I have not heard from Novum Publishing since I signed the contract, their London office is not manned and I have read some criticism on the internet. If it is a scam it is a very good one, and I would be gutted. I await their responses. Rest assured it has cost me nothing but wounded pride and some confusion about what I felt sure was a fulfillment of promises. |
