Scam business

Short Version: 27 Jan 2025, initial contract with Excel Book Writing & parent company Divine Ghost Writers was signed for publishing a book in 3-4 months. 18 May 2025; filed negative Review with the VBC & Chicago BBB that this company has not even working towards producing the book after the contract requirements were past the date. 3 Nov. 2025; after the contractor stated they would have my book published, they in turn assigned a fourth project manager ten months in the project. 3 Nov 2025; client files a complaint with the VBC & Chicago BBB that no contractual requirements were met and the project was 6 months past the initial contract date. 4 Nov - 18 Dec 2025, VBC BBB kept passing the company's false statements and that they were working to resolve the issue, while never once addressing why none of the contract requirements were met or would be met. 18 Dec 2025; VBC BBB (Mohammad Pandhiani), arbitrary closes customer's Complaint, without any resolution to the contract requirements being met by Excel Book Writing or parent company, Divine Ghost Writers. Also, my complaint is no longer posted on the VBC BBB website. Client spent $4200 with Excel Book Writing / Divine Ghost Writers, and to this date does not have his books on any book available on provider’s websites. Detail Version: My initial contact on a publisher webpage was with Divine Ghost Writers on 27 Jan 2025, but some of their paperwork or documents would state Excel Book Writing and/or Divine Ghost Technologies; however, all three of their contracts with me would contain Divine Technologies Limited as the parent company. Original contract stated 3-4 months for the book to be published and provided the following: Research and Ethnography, Project Management, Cover Design, Editing and Proofreading, Layout Adjustment, Book cover design, ISBN, Publication on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble + 400 Platforms, 2-4 Pages Author Website, 1 Year Domain Hosting & SEO & SMM, book completion in 3-4 Months in eBook, Paperback, Hardcover. Original contract was for 25 Hardcover Copies (Colored) to be delivered to my home of record. A second contract was for Professional “Copyright Review” and confirm an ISBN and webpage for me, although the original contract stated the same services. Third contract was to publish 100 Softback & 100 Hardback books to be used as publication inventory. So, after over 9 months, three separate project managers with each signed a book release form for publication, and after paying $4200 in total for the aforementioned services, I have received nothing from this publisher other than after the latest book release date of 1 Nov. 2025, (which there have been several release dates going back to March 2025) that on 2 Nov. 2025 a new project manager will be assigned in the upcoming weeks. The latest book release was for 1 Nov., after this date I received an email from my publisher that a new project manager would soon be assigned. So, on 3 Nov. 2025, client files BBB Complaint with the VBC & Chicago offices. On 18 Dec. 2025, the VBC BBB arbitrary closes my BBB Complaint without any resolution or any contractual requirements being meet by either Excel Book Writing or Divine Ghost Writers. Along with my personal bank information to route the book sales to a personal account, the publisher tried on many occasions to obtain my SSN, in which I would not do so, since the ISBN was supposed to tie the royalties back to the author. (Note: The publisher never established an ISBN to the author as delineated in the original contract).

Excel really put the gas forward for me in life. Very very honest and positive! The art of the book came out excellent, and I hope all readers are touched. Thank You with my all Excel Book Writing

Excel Book Writing (fake publisher) contested my prior reviews as fake and Trust Pilot let them do it, allowing their criminal scam to continue. Excel is stealing from people seeking legitimate publishing services. Their real whereabouts are in Pakistan or somewhere thereabout and they change company names and make front websites often to repeat the same scam under different names. The positive reviews are fake. I have contacted the authorities and filed reports. This is a fraudulent company operating a call center to farm the public for money. You need to contact the FBI, file an IC3 report, your local police, file a BBB complaint, and Attorney General to report them for organized crime, mass fraud, and theft by deception among other things. They stole $38,000 from me and ceased all contact when I asked for refund. They are not based in Chicago. These are criminals running a scam to generate revenue quickly. I paid them for several different services and never received anything. They use many different names for their staff - likely all pseudonyms. It is a huge scam to steal money from aspiring authors. I paid them in 2023. They demanded money orders and checks by mail in addition to drafting my account. I never received anything. Also file a report to the CFPB, FTC, Interpol, your local police, the FBI phone tip line, IC3 Online Reporting System for the FBI, and to Crime Stoppers. Tell everyone. The goal is to get everyone who can be pursuing them from an investigative perspective to do so. If any recovery is to be made, the full might of law enforcement through the criminal justice system must be brought down on them.

This company is not legitimate. In 2022, we paid over a thousand dollars to get started on a book and they never completed anything. They interviewed us for the book, but never produced anything. Judy Sevastin, Kenneth Walker, and Angelique Thomas were the names used and it all turned out to be untrue. I tried to file a complaint with the attorney generals in both Chicago and Texas, but they could to locate this company although they had addresses in these state. We never received our money back and then they stopped answering calls. The site had all these testimonials. I have not given up on the book writing project and came across all the documentation and paperwork back in 2022. I wanted to prevent others from what we endured and the money we lost.

I worked with Excel over the course of a year on my cookbook, it was an extremely challenging project, but they were more than up to the task and demonstrated not only patients but a knowledge of the industry. They were always available to answer questions or discuss marketing and options to improve my book. They brought my book from draft to published and I am truly grateful

Working with Seth Rogers at Excel Book Publishing has been one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my writing career. From the very beginning, Seth brought a rare combination of editorial precision, creative insight, and heartfelt support to the table. He treated My Life, My Song not just as a book, but as a living, breathing work of art—and honored my voice every step of the way. His attention to detail elevated every chapter, and his intuitive sense of rhythm and structure helped bring out the best in my storytelling. Seth understood the emotional tone and cultural significance of my work, and he handled it with both reverence and skill. I never once felt rushed, dismissed, or unheard. Quite the opposite—Seth made me feel like my story truly mattered. Thanks to his guidance, My Life, My Song was transformed into something far more powerful than I could have imagined on my own. I am proud to have had Seth as my editor and even prouder to call him a true publishing partner. If you’re looking for someone who respects your voice, sharpens your vision, and walks with you through the trenches of publishing with grace and grit—Seth Rogers is the one. With heartfelt thanks, Jacqueline Germany Author of My Life, My Song
