    I gave them $10,000. When I was fed up and asked for my "prototype," it was ridiculous. I would never have paid for it had I known the product was not at all what Scott **, the man who got me to spend my money and now doesn't seem to exist, said. Do they have to pretend names for the person who finesses the money out of you? I lost $10,000 and now have severe consequences of spending my retirement as I am disabled.

    I was on PCH and found a company named Davison. I called them and they asked what my idea for a new product was. I told them. They wanted me to read and agree to a contract. The contract was mind boggling. I was told that I could pay the 700 some odd dollars out on a payment plan, because I am on a fixed income. They listed some of the stores where new products were being sold because of their diligence. I could not get the contract to download on my computer the second time, but somehow my guardian angel put me on this consumer complaints site. I do not have a health insurance, but I was going to do something really stupid. I liked my idea that much. Now they have the concept of mine, and I have no way to protect it. This should be stopped immediately.

    I hired Davison who is an inventor promotional firm to help me bring my idea from conception to market. I have paid excess of $9,000 in July 2009 and was last contacted by my representative Michael ** in March 2010. At that time, I was told that my actual product sample had been manufactured and was in QA and I would have a provisional patent application within two weeks. I never heard back from Michael and began calling, leaving voice mails and sending emails. Finally, I spoke to the receptionist who advised that Michael was on medical leave and Gary ** was handling my design. I began leaving Gary numerous voice mails and have also left voice mails with the Vice President and still have not received a response regarding my inquiries on my product.

    Since my concerns, I have learned that Davison had been sued by the FTC for practices that are still being used today in which I am a victim of. For example, I was told that they had great contacts with companies, more specifically, Cuisinart, with which they would be presenting my design to. I am learning that they do not have solid standing here.

    When I told them that I had another company in mind, I was told that they were the experts in this area and had done all of the preliminary research to target this company. I even asked who their contact with Cuisinart was and was told that it was a confidentiality matter and could not be shared with me. I was also told that very few people's ideas were accepted by Davison as they were selective on the applicants received but mine was being accepted for further development.

    This company has an offer on the Publishers Clearing House internet pages for customer offers. They asked for your invention ideas. I sent my idea to them. They quickly called me and sent me a contract. They began to pressure me for an initial $695.00 and to return my contract. In that contract, they stated they would present my idea for licensing. Well, I became suspicious when I saw another phone number that was in the United Kingdom. Then I did my research.

    They were sued by the Federal Trade Commisson in 2006 and were to pay damages for millions. I was lucky in that I found them out before giving my credit card. But my complaint is also that Publishers Clearing House has their advertisement to entice customers to sign up. I contacted Publishers Clearing House, and they will not call me back. There is the court judgement listed from 2006 on the internet pages.

    I am writing to get this ad off Publishers Clearing House site and make public of the fraudulent Davison, Inc. which claims to be a company in Pennsylvania. Help me get rid of this company, and I don't know how they can be in business after the Federal Trade Commission sued them. I want to sue them in a class action suit, PCH and Davison,

    My husband and I sent an idea in to Davison Design. We paid them 10,000 US dollars. They sent us a digital drawing of something that looked nothing like my husband’s idea. We told Jeff ** we were not going to sign for a drawing that was not what we sent. We had sent 2 prototypes plus a video and papers that the idea could not be altered as we had paid for a design patent in 25 countries. We asked him why they had not done our design. He said “It would not be cost effective to Davison and the manufacturer so this is the best way forward.” We said “You should have told us this before you took our money.” “Well send me an email and what you want us to do.” Alarm bells started ringing, so we checked out web pages and found out Davison Designs is a scam; they steal peoples’ money and they have changed everybody’s idea.

    I contacted Ripoff Report and filed a complaint with them. They replied “Davison is a very nice company and has joined our CAP program. If you’re not happy with the way things are going, Mr. Davison says you can pull out and get a refund for work that has not been done. He is 100% customer satisfaction. We will send Davison your complaint and you will hear in 3 to 5 working days.” 10 days later, I have still not heard from Davison and wrote back to Ripoff Report. They did not reply.

    The next day a guy called. Greg rang us “What’s the problem?” So we explained to him what had happened. He said to put it in writing. I asked where Jeff ** was and he said “Oh he’s left.” “So who do I address the letter to send it to?” “Jeff ** and I will get it.” I wrote to the compliance department and a letter to Jeff **, telling them we no longer wish to continue with their company, as they had not acted in our best interest and would like all papers and prototypes returned with a refund.

    Greg phoned us up and said “What do you want us to do?” I said “Didn't you receive my letter?” “Yes, and you’re not getting a refund.” I told him we had been in touch with Ripoff Report. he laughed, “Never heard of them.” “Well Mr. Davison won’t be pleased.” We stated that he was in the customer satisfaction program. “I will put you in touch with our legal department.” We were contacted on 4/05/2009 by a Frank **. He said “What can we do for you?” My husband explained the situation. “Well send me an e-mail and I will act on it.” I spoke to Frank ** and said “I think you are just giving us the run around. We have sent you emails plus letters and now you want another email.” “Yes, and I will act on it.” So we did, stating that we wanted a full refund within 14 days and all items returned to us. Davison has not contacted us since.

    We had to borrow money from family to pay Davison Designs. They have stolen US$10,000 from us and are getting away with it. This company needs to be stopped. They have already had to pay 10 million dollars to the FTC. They lost a court case in July 2008. They have destroyed our dreams and left us in debt.

    Before contract was signed, the company provided information that led me to believe that they understood the type of companies which would likely consider a review of my product idea. After contract, it came to light that they really had no such relationship, and refused to provide a reasonable refund.

    I have registered my complaint with the FTC, and am aware of the 2006 ruling against them.
