$300.00 Fraud Scheme
I wired them $300.00 dollars to their bank in Great Britain and they refuse to return my money. They have provided no services to me whatsoever and they are keeping my money. Their Publishing Agency is in 10200 S ROBERTS RD STE 4010 PALOS HILLS, IL 60465, the bank is in Great Britain, the phone number is from Michigan and the Represntatives are from India. I believe this is fraud. I do not want anyone to have their money stolen from these guys. Do not wire them any money. They will not return it. In Response to my Review Regarding McZell Publishing Company and their Ignorance of Stealing my $300.00. Here is the first and last name of the thief who stole my money with his contact information. They are lying when they say they have no record of my interaction with them. DO NOT TRUST THESE THIEVES. DO NOT WIRE ANY MONEY TO THEM. Dear Mr. Vasquez, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We completely understand the importance of transparency when it comes to financial transactions and professional services, and we appreciate you bringing these points to our attention. First, please allow me to clarify a few things regarding our operations. American Best Publishers operates with a distributed team and multiple service channels. Our registered mailing address is in Palos Hills, Illinois, while some of our communication lines are routed through different U.S. regions, including Michigan, through our telecommunication provider. This is common for companies that utilize national call routing systems to ensure availability and support for clients across different time zones. Regarding the payment you made, the London address you referenced is associated with one of our international payment processing partners. Many publishing and service-based companies use global payment processors to facilitate transactions for clients in different regions. I would also like to clarify that we have not yet received the payment on our end. Since the transaction was made through a bank transfer, it usually takes 24–48 hours for the funds to reflect in the receiving account, especially in the case of international transfers. This is the reason our representative requested a copy of the payment confirmation from your bank so our accounts department can track the incoming transaction and match it with your project as soon as it appears in the processing queue. With respect to the receipt, once the payment is reflected on our end, our finance department will issue the official receipt and confirmation from our side. For your reference and peace of mind, please find the following documents attached to this email: • Project Invoice • Service Agreement • Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) These documents outline the scope of services, payment details, and confidentiality protections for your project. Regarding the accents you mentioned, American Best Publishers works with a diverse and international team of professionals across multiple regions. Our editorial, support, and project management staff are based in different parts of the world, which allows us to provide extended support hours and specialized expertise. Mr. Vasquez, our intention is always to maintain a professional and transparent relationship with our authors. We value your project and would be happy to address any additional questions you may have. If you would like, we can also schedule a call with our accounts or compliance department to walk you through the documentation and process step-by-step. Please review the attached documents and let me know if there is anything further you would like us to clarify. We look forward to resolving your concerns and continuing to support your publishing journey. Kevin Myles Senior Writing Consultant Direct Line: (313) 536-4375

We have thoroughly searched our records and could not find any client, order, or account registered under your name. We take allegations of this nature very seriously and would like to investigate this matter immediately. To assist us, could you please provide your order details, receipt, and proof of payment, including the bank account name or beneficiary to which you transferred the funds? Please send these details to [email protected] so we can verify whether you were targeted by someone impersonating our business or if there has been a genuine misunderstanding. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to resolving this matter as quickly as possible. Best regards, Support Team
