RE: Poetry.com - didn't received the book promised when 'won' poetry contest - sent a check for $ 49.95 plus $ 8 shipping and handling I also did not receive the book promised when I "won" their poetry contest. I sent a check for $49.95 plus $8 shipping and handling. As I experienced, they cannot be contacted, as you are placed on permanent hold, and they do not have a toll free phone number. Anyone with a complaint about Poetry.com should contact the US Postal Service Mail Fraud Division. File a complaint with them, and you should see some results. Since they operate through the mail, they come under the jurisdiction of the USPS. File under

I am checking failure to Provide, and Misrepresentation of Product/ Service.
