Shazir Mucklai of Imperium Group duped me of $2500
I reached out to Shazir Mucklai and his company named Imperium Group for assistance in getting my article published in Forbes. With Shazir, you have an angel investor and an adviser to disruptive startups. The truth is, he is a middleman who subcontracts PR services out to multiple vendors.
As a part of my agreement, he assured me a feature article on Forbes, Entrepreneur, and other notable publications. He then proceeded to charge me $1,250 for Forbes alone and $1,250 for the additional articles, bringing the total to $2,500. Sadly, none of his promises were fulfilled. Not only did he misrepresent his connection with the Forbes franchise, but he also failed to get the other publications.
Upon confronting him, he attempted to pay back the amount in agreed installments. After this, he completely ghosted and would not respond. Others, I strongly recommend exercising caution. Shazir Mucklai is not who he appears to be. All of his articles are paid PR placements rather than organic clauses. If you want to avoid being defrauded, it is safer to steer clear.
