Direct Messages between another Twitter User who interacted with @proMusicRoyal:

@PKDDL: Hey, I have a question about @proMusicRoyal, did you work with her on some promo type stuff? PK20

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT TO SHARE YOU EXPERIENCE WITH HER OR OF ANYONE SIMILAR. WE MUST WARN THE INDIES ABOUT THIS AND SHUT HER DOWN. WE CAN WORK TOGETHER...PASS THE WORD...OR BLOG. HAVE A PROSPEROUS YEAR!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
PK20

So someone thinks I am fabricating the situation when all you have to do is google @promusicroyal and see the responses she receives. You do not harass people or blow up their phone so you can give them a service. Let the clients make the decision to go farther. Present contractual agreements, but of course this would only make her mad. Contact the people who have experienced the same thing with her. And for the record my identity isn't hidden so why would the people commenting hide theirs. My music is searchable for you to judge yourself, and I do not need the validation of someone terribly disrespectful. I took the liberty to post the pictures of the text for proof-sakes and my phone call log showing no calling attempts between either party, only texting and twitter.
