To everyone who got stiffed by LCP, I suggest you head over V’s blog right now and see V’s latest post.

This whole situation’s gotten too hairy for my liking. I ALMOST wrote for them. But Hope Hunt’s “How many can you do by [72 hours]” response put me off. I would think a publication would want to see clips first before asking how many articles I can crank out within three days’ time. And besides, I was too busy with other projects during that time.

If I had indeed written for them, it would’ve broken my heart badly. Unlike more established freelance writers, every cent I make right now is important. Had I wasted my time writing for them, I would’ve lost a pretty penny which might have cost that month’s utility bills.

Despite the open letter issued by Stephanie, Hope and Shada regarding their retraction from supporting LCP, so many questions haven’t been answered yet. Here are some of them:

1. Stephanie mentioned in Deb’s blog that LCP is owned by an ex-NFL player. Though we all know by now Roger Owens, Quincy Carr, Tim Baker, Dean Person and David Person might all be indeed just ONE individual, that doesn’t explain where the “ex-NFL player owner” came from. Did this “Quincy Carr” or whatever his name is feed Stephanie BS?

2. Connie said her PayPal payment came from someone named Tim Baker and that this same person issued a chargeback claiming his account was hacked. Some weeks later, Micah said she talked to someone named Tim Baker using LCP’s phone number which means said person is indeed involved with the “company.” Connie never mentioned if she filed a complaint based on this.

3. Hope said she hasn’t been paid the whole time she worked for LCP.

And I quote (from V’s blog):

I have not been paid a dime and have continued to work because I believe in LCP and what their plan is/was.

I feel for her but I wonder what compeled her to work under such circumstance of NOT getting paid when it’s due.

4. Stephanie, in a post made in Deb’s blog said

“and also, the company had absolutely no problem paying the editors or designers for work that was INCOMPLETE and work they will never use.”

So the editors and designers got paid but Hope was not???? Poor Hope who defended the company tooth and nail didn’t get paid? Well, nevermind about Hope, but according to the posts by editors and designers themselves, they DIDN’T get paid. Which is the truth? I think Stephanie got fed with more BS. But I think she, herself, got paid, or at least she said so.

And I quote:

“I quoted them a large sum of money (which includes the cost of my company hiring several new employees and increasing our office space) to take on this monumental task, one I thought they would not be willing to accept- but to my surprise and delight, my company has experienced no issues regarding payment.”

Now that Stephanie has changed her tune, I wonder what happened to that payment.

5. Someone who claims to be acquainted with Quincy Carr says Quincy is real but Stephanie, Hope and Shada think otherwise. I find it hard to believe that someone who’s thinking of stealing an identity would choose a name associated with a prior scam. So I think Quincy Carr is real, it’s the other names that are not. It’s that or they/he/she didn’t do research.

6. Why am I writing this when I have a deadline in one hour? Well, curiosity got the better of me.

So now I’m going back to work. All these questions will remain hanging, I know. But let’s leave them at that for now. As of now, I just want everybody to know LCP is operating under different company names. For more information, check out At Last! Writer Beware Blogs!
