    I hired Book Marketeers to publish 2 books English and French). ********************* provided me with a final draft for which all payments were made based on the contract. I have made first deposit for *** Marketing. I have approved the final draft for which I should get a total of 20 copies of the books. 10 copies for the English draft and 10 copies for the French draft. Before the copies were delivered ********************* reached out to me to sell me marketing service for which I made a first installment payment of $600 with a remaining balance of $600. **************** reached out to me to provide the final payment for the marketing service of $600. I refused to make the other payment of $600 for *** marketing because they have not fulfilled some of the terms of the publishing contract; for example, I never received copies of the books. I emailed them and informed them it is illogical to make a final payment to market the books when copies of the books have not been provided yet. Since then, they have been unresponsive to calls, and are very delayed in replying to emails and eventually there has been no response to my emails. I will attach the emails and the contract here. I am seeking the following based on the email I sent the company since January 13, 2023: Basically, if they don't fulfill the publish contract, I am seeking refund for the portion of the contract they did not fulfill and then reimburse me the $600 for the *** Marketing. However, if they fulfill the first contract fully, I will pay the remaining $600 afterwards for the *** marketing. Dear **** and *****,I have reached out twice already and I haven't heard back from either of you. I have offered the opportunity to discuss but no response. Therefore, this is my follow up email. If I don't hear back from you soon as per contract, I am requesting the full $600 refund for the payment that I made on June 2022 for Amazon *** marketing AND to reimburse me for the portion of the first contract that you have not been able to deliver yet on for example the following: -10 copies each for the English and French draft for a total of 20 complimentary copies *********************** Setup -eBook *********************** -Paperback Distribution -Optional ******************************* -Publishing Imprint ************************** Material -Kindle ISBN barcode -Amazon, ****** and *****, ******************

    This company is a scam! After garunteeing me 600 sold books in the first month, they charged and promised the following:Publishing $800 Beginning April 26, 2024 Creation of an Author Account - I did this myself Editing, Proofreading, and Formatting Lifetime Copyright Registration Distribution and Royalty Setup eBook Creation and Distribution Paperback Distribution ISBN Barcode Publication on Amazon *********************** and other platforms - Lie, they only publish on IngramSpark - another scam 10 Free ************************ $500 Beginning April 22, 2024 *************** Author Website Content - I created this Amazon Reviews Search Engine Optimization Awareness Campaign Engagement Campaign Search Campaign (******)Campaign optimization on *************** Amazon Author Page ***** Sec Video ******************** Page *************************************** Linked ********************************* 3 Posts/Week Fan ********************* Instagram, and ****** Paid ************************* (2 Posts/week) ********************* was assigned to carry out this service that I paid for. After the first month passed nothing was done but him sending me a large questionairre - the content of everything they said they would be doing - nothing more was done. This extremely sexist company treated me with condescension and when called out for their lack of service they ignored all communication. After demanding a refund **** agreed to send to me $1000, I was again ignored and no refund was issued. When I then reached out to support (******************* and ***** *******) to resolve the issue and get a refund I was called 5 times in a row by ****, who called in a rage, spitting into the phone and yelling at me saying I had no right to be on the website. Repeated attempts have been made to rectify this situation and they have ignored me completely. It is now July 26, 2024 and no refund has been issued and no work has been completed. They have not responded since July 8th.
