Scam Description
Storyful contacted me about licensing a video of a coyote nipping a bear that our wildlife cameras had picked up, promising 60 percent of all revenue from when they licensed it to media. The video has obviously been licensed to several media because one can find it online, but when I inquired about payment they started down some **** line about the video needing to generate a minimum amount of income before any payouts can take place, just the sort of nonsense that was not part of the original discussion. Also, suddenly they refused to have any more contact with me. Also, I don’t think that they were using actual names, but there seems to be little question that Denis Browne is behind all this–he supervises the video acquisition department.
