Dionne Warwick has always been a scamming selfish woman, only out for herself. I can guarantee if she lent her name to this event, she had full knowledge of what was going on. I wouldn't be surprised if half of this money that was stolen from these people ended up in one of Dionne's overseas bank accounts. The woman has been stealing money for years. Have you all forgotten about the HUGE expose 20/20 did on her back when she bankrupted all of those AIDS charities in all those cities because her DIVA demands outweighed the money taken in. I remember years ago she was asked to perform for a charity event with names much bigger than her. She was the only one that demanded payment for her appearance. She and her entourage billed the charity so much for first class airfaire and hotels that the event ended up losing money for the charity. This woman cares about nobody but herself. I'm glad she lives in South America. As far as I'm concearned, Brazil is not far enough.

I would to get more information on Guy Draper and Billie Schley. You have indicated that they are producers for many of the events that Ms. Warwick handles. What is the name of their company, if Ms. Warwick keeps getting burnt after lending her name why is she so loyal to them

Just curious

I too am out of money due to writing a check. Today I am sending my second letter, after waiting 5 weeks, to the address posted on the website. I'm at a loss of what action to take next. I can't afford a lawyer, but I will be looking into something if I don't get a response in a month.

I have been a huge fan of Dionne Warwick all my life. In fact, she has been my favorite singer. I was behind her through the Psychic Network days, airport confiscation of drugs, etc. Now, after 45 plus years, I have become so disillusioned with her and am sure I will never hold her in such esteem again. I am so disappointed!! I paid my money for the luncheon and big screen viewing, only to be told (after I had to ask) that everything was cancelled. I went to so much trouble to travel to Washington and find the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. I need to get my money back and have found no way to do this. I do not want to get a lawyer!!!

Hi,

I am sure glad that someone is still out there who has not forgotten how horrible we were treated on the night of the inauguration and still how we are not being treated right with the website telling us that we can go to our bank and tell them that it was fraud. Is this an admission of guilt? We need to stay in touch and do something about this, either collectively or individually. I can't do anything either because I paid by check. HELP!!!

Sure we can all call our credit card company and get reverse credit applied to our credit card accounts if we paid for everything by credit card but what about tickets paid by debit card. Banks do not credit cash back to your bank account when debit cards are used. also who compensates us for all the expenses we incurred soley because we were promised and sold on attending a memorable night attending the American Music Legends Ball. I would have not spent $400 on a ball gown plus money on all the accessories needed to go with the gown as well expense of a hotel room, transportation and not to mention taking unpaid time off from work had I known I would just end up sitting in a hotel room all night long crying with my ball gown hanging on the bathroom door. Those people ruined my night as well as stole hundreds of dollars from me and I think someone needs to be held accountable I dont care if it's Dionne Warwick for lending her name or the people who were the promoters I am the victim here and someone needs to be held accountable. I could have stayed in Denver Colorado with a $1 bag of popcorn and a $1.50 2 liter bottle of Coke and watched the inauguration festivities on television with firends or family and had a more memorable time. Looking for help from anyone who is planning a law suit I would like to join you or if anyone can help guide me in a direction where I can file my own law suit if no one else is planning to file a law suit and is not looking for others to join in. contact me ASAP. Its been over 45 days and I have NOT heard a word from these people as they advertised. I believe they feel we will just go away and disappear without holding them accountable. Please Please people lets not let them get away with this. I am not a wealthy person who can just write this off and say oh well it's a lesson learned and be out of all these expenses like some people are suggesting I should do.

You people really irritate me because all you know how to do is scandalize and individuals character. Okay I bought tickets also and took the proper procedures to get refunded and as of date it has been refunded. Dionne Warwick lent her name once again and is getting the raw deal. Dionne didnt tell any of you to dip into your savings, rent, utility bills of any of that yet you blame her. She is an winning celebrity who is being affected by people who have no clue. It made sense to cancel the ball because people wanted to be where Obama was going to be and this particular ball was an unofficial one and his appearance was not going to take place no matter what star was going to attend and perform people wanted to be very near and close to him NO iam not saying blame Obama I am saying put blame where it belongs the event didnt sell the tickets it expected so who do you think should pay for the cost so that the ball would still take place OH! I know Dionne Warwick wrong again then leave her with a heft million dollar debt but for you selfish people better her than you right. This woman has taken so much for the black community she cant sing, she thinks she is white. No its all wrong the woman does and will continue to do what she believes in that will help out people of all ethics so chill out some

Dionne Warwick has been letting down a lot of people Lately. At fifteen she left her baby girl with a woman name Lucy. And has not looked back.I know fame is a big game in this world. Just look at all Diana Ross has done to keep her name in the game.You and Diana are idols in the world. but your sins will find you.You have to do right treat people like you want to be treated....

I just called my credit card company and they refunded me my money on my account. They are sending me a letter explaining the detail. I RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE WHO GOT JIPPED CALL THEIR CC COMPANIES AND FILE A DISPUTE AND AS FOR THE CREDIT REFUND.

Thank you Jbrown for the advice. I'm on the phone with my bank right now. Called them and filed a dispute the night of the ball. Hope others do the same while we wait for the outcome of this mess.

Apparently, Dionne Warwick's Psychic Friends Network didn't foresee the cancellation.

Call you bankcard company and ask for a provisional (temporary) credit. They should credit your account for the tickets within 24 hours. You then will have paperwork to fill and return to the bank but at least you'll have your money back. and your bank's help with keeping the pressure on these folks. Just passing on advise from my banker who saw Dionne at the Purple Ball.
