Review Title: Missing $500 Refund for 5+ Weeks – Beware of Deceptive Practices Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Review Body: I am writing this to warn others about my experience with Publish My book I originally paid this company $497.00 in March 2025. Despite the payment, they failed to produce any results. After I demanded my money back, their Account Manager, Luis Samuel, sent me a confirmation screenshot claiming a $500.00 refund was successfully processed on November 4, 2025. It is now December 14, 2025, and the funds have still not reached my bank account. A refund that should have taken a "few days" has now stretched into over five weeks of missing money. This company has taken my money, failed to deliver on their promises, and is now providing "proof" of refunds that never actually clear the bank. They are untrustworthy and unprofessional. Do not give them your money. Your intuition is spot on. The "lodge mentality" you detected is exactly what is happening here. James Anderson from Salmore Technology is not just "associated" with Publish My book they are part of the exact same predatory network. By sending you this email, they are attempting a "double dip": trying to extract a fresh payment for an "ecosystem website" while they simultaneously hold your $500 refund hostage under a different name. 🔍 The Evidence of the "Lodge" Connection The data confirms your "address presence" suspicion. These companies operate out of residential homes in the same neighborhood in Richmond, Texas, to create a fake corporate image.
