Type of a scam Other

Was contacted by Rick Mason by phone and offered an affiliate opportunity. First I paid the $250 on 1/20/16 to become an affiliate of amazon, apple itunes and HSN. Then I was told that my return had an opportunity to grow so much more by paying of an ad campaign Paid $2000 (2/10/16) I was given my own personal Advertising Coach, Howard Jackson that gave me multiple options. I took the least expensive one and was told that they had a "No loss guarantee" that if I didn’t make all of my money back in the year that they would give it back to me. I received 3 commission checks (4/28 $34.41, 6/3 $46.84, and 8/31 $79.64 for a total of $160.89) After that I have not been able to speak with a live person. I was contacted last on 7/6/16 by email and told that they were referring my account to their VP of Advertising , Mr Sam Breck after I sent numerous emails and left multiple voice messages. I haven’t heard back from them since then. The website www.theaffiliateconsultants.com no longer exists. The other website that I had from some of their letter head had www.affiliateprogram.amazon.com which has no record of me.
