A seemingly large event company producing cosplay events… with zero evidence of any events ever existing. Currently advertising a host of Sailor Moon pop-up events that are getting a lot of comments on social media screaming scam. The company claims cyberbullying.

Some other suspicious evidence:
-Supposedly ran a cruise at SDCC 2016 with an actor from LOTR, but there's no evidence of the cruise happening or him being there http://www.anenglishmaninsandiego.com/connews/offsiteupdates/sdcc-2016-off-site-san-diego-home-to-worlds-first-pop-up-resort-during-comic-con
-Also supposedly ran a cosplay train to SDCC 2016 that that same actor was on, but there's no evidence of that existing or him being there.

-Zero images of any of their events exist beyond their promotional materials, with stock crowds
-Their official youtube has zero videos or evidence of any of their past events

Not using lolcow as a personal army, but has anyone definitively been scammed by these guys? There's probably plenty of milk in them with some digging.

Last one to add event details - doesn't mention any names of celebs in attendance, unlike any other con ever
