Three Collier businesses question whether magazines carrying their ads were distributed

If you've been pitched an ad in a neighborhood magazine lately, here's one to know about. Three Collier County businesses say they bought advertising after being promised exposure in neighborhood publications, then questioned whether the magazines were distributed. The dispute is with Jean-Marc Katzeff, who operates Naples Networker LLC and The Vine of SWFL LLC.

“When we first opened our business, we needed to try to find some avenues to market the company to get the word out.”

Gulfshore Business reports WINK reviewed 11 court cases involving Katzeff or his companies between 2024 and 2026. Weighing an ad? We suggest asking where and when a magazine is distributed before you pay.

I find it interesting how many posts I see complaining about what other people choose to post.

““Don't post about this.” “Stop posting about that.” I understand that not every topic interests everyone, but isn't that what scrolling past is for? I see posts every day that don't interest me. Politics, sports, religion, personal opinions, vacation pictures, you name it. I simply keep scrolling. It would never occur…”
