I used to be in the line of work where i conducted investigations regarding consumer issues. And I am rusty, but I am almost certain this company is only interested in getting your credit info. I spend some time looking into them before reaching out. We exchanged some emails, but the emails seemed so pushy, sort of, but it's sales, you know, it can be that way. I decided to reach out. Upon my telephone conversation, the line crackly, was not saying their office name, and it was a hard-to-understand foreigner (no racism intended). Aslo i am very familar with Oak Park office they claim to work out of. The employee was very uncorporative and it was like pulling teeth to get more info which i really did not get beyond what's on their website. If you work in the office you should know alot about it. Also, I think the bank is still there on the first floor and other business do not operate within the bank's area so that was fishy. Second, he told me the rate he quoted was a now-or-never, very pressuring and rude. I was not prepared to pay him today, then he said he would take a portion of it to get started then became a VERY SCAMMY TELEMARKETER I just want your money vibe after that. I used to tell consumers whenever you are unsure dont give your money or credit card info make a report with the Illinois States Attorney office and they will check them out and issue a consumer warning if its suspect. So I am going to do that and leave it up to them because I am certain, but I would rather they handle it than to come on here and make claims without proffessional investigation.

I am not sure what to say. The actual amount these guys quoted me was out right thievery @ 5,000 dollars. All I can say to any unsuspecting authors, is run people run far and wide and find a respectful reputable publisher. This was our conversation, and I copied their chat, so people seeing this will know. Hi there 😊 How are you doing today? Samuel Dias Are you looking to get your book published on Amazon & other major platforms? morning what is the cost to do audio books or maybe demand to print on Amazon average pages are 145 Well maybe. I have 4 already. Noted Samuel Dias We have customized plans I see. Samuel Dias May I have your name so I can address you well? its Scott Hi Scott Samuel Dias Nice to E-meet you :) morning Can you tell me a bit about your book please? Samuel Dias Is it already published? I have many actually. Different genres 4 are 26 not yet Great Samuel Dias Let me quickly connect you to our Senior Book Publishing Consultant, who would be able to guide you properly with the process and pricing As well :) I know the process just need your prices send me cost sheet and I'll look and see. Before I share the exact pricing that fits you best, I just want to make sure nothing gets missed in case the chat disconnects. Samuel Dias What’s the best email and phone number to reach you on? nah send it or I leave I dint play games. if I needed you to know me, id share lol. Based on what you shared, a rough estimate for handling your full project professionally would fall in the $4,000–$5,000 range Samuel Dias If that range works for you, I can break it down cleanly so you can see exactly where the investment goes. If it doesn’t, no hard feelings at all. Oh my god, you're a scammer for real.5,000 you're an ignorant person for real. Scott, take a breath. No one scammed you; no one pressured you, and no one hid anything. You asked for pricing, I gave you a straight estimate based on the scope you described. If that number doesn’t align with what you’re looking for, that’s perfectly fine. Different authors choose different paths and budgets. There’s no obligation here, and there’s no hard feelings on my end. Scott, that kind of language isn’t acceptable. Samuel Dias If $5,000 sounds shocking, it simply means you’re comparing professional, end-to-end publishing support with DIY shortcuts or incomplete services. That’s your choice, and you’re free to take it. Oh, you did huh? you are straight out cheating these would be authors taking advantage of them charging those kinds of fees. See you in the section where reviews go. Other authors need to stay clear of your absurd pricing, such bull. Scott, you’re entitled to your opinion, but accusing professionals of “cheating” simply because pricing doesn’t fit your budget is inaccurate and unfair. Samuel Dias We’re fully transparent about what we offer and what it costs. Many authors choose us because they understand the value of experienced teams, proper production, and avoiding costly mistakes. Others prefer to do everything themselves. Both paths exist. show me how many authors paid you 5,000 to publish if so, you straight out scammed them you tried me to didn't you lol. We do not disclose client payment details and asking for that is inappropriate. Scott, we have clients who have paid both more and less than this, depending on the scope of work required. Every project is unique. Samuel Dias With the limited information you’ve given us, it’s impossible to provide an accurate solution or quote. The way you’re speaking right now, accusing us without professionalism, doesn’t help either. If you want a proper discussion about publishing your books, it needs to be done respectfully and with the right details. so, you just throw out random fees/ unacceptable. Your best keeping quiet, you have really made your company look bad here, your choice. Oh no. So, you're just wasting my time by being a true douche bag than? Oh by the way my name is not Scott.
