AUTHOR BEEF- Patricia Skipper stiffed me fifty dollars because I "didn't read the bio" of the book

Patricia Skipper stiffed me fifty dollars because I "didn't read the bio" of the book. THIS IS FRAUD. To promise fifty dollars for a review, we buy your book, write the honest review, and then get NOTHING because the author didn't like what I had to say? I have heard that this has happened to anyone who rated it less than a 4/4 star review.
HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE?

I did read the bio and the description. What I was sold is not what I got. That's the author's fault, not mine. She can't just rescind payment because she's paying for only good reviews. That's corruption and stolen labor.
