    Alert:

    UPDATE: November 2023, BBB continues to receive complaints and Scam Tracker reports from consumers stating Diamond Media Press fails to uphold their end of the contract. December 2022, mail sent to the address located on the company website, 217 Fieldstone Drive Florence Farley Lane, Fraziers Bottom, WV 25082 USA, was returned by the U.S. Postal Service as "Return to sender, no such number, unable to forward". It is unknown at this time where the company is actually located and if it is in the United States.

     

    April 2020 and again in June - August 2021, BBB first began getting complaints and Scam Trackers on Diamond Media Press. While most of the consumers did not sign up with the company, one consumer alleged the company did not follow through with their agreement and they lost $1700.00. 

     

    The company website lists the address as 217 Fieldstone Drive Florence Farley Lane Fraziers Bottom, WV 25082 USA. Google maps shows this is a residential area with a street called Field Stone Drive and once crossing the intersection, the same street is called Farley Lane. There is no house with the street address 217 shown with a driveway on Fieldstone Drive, but rather Bedford Court. There are also no businesses on either listed street. BBB also notes that companies located in the United States do not typically show "USA" in their address.

     

    March 2022, BBB received another Scam Tracker report for this company. The consumer alleged “Thea Campbell” tried contacting him daily for 6 weeks. After finally returning the call, a phone appointment was made where a package deal was offered for $2380.00 to include an interview with CBS radio and republishing a self-published book of the consumers. When the representative was told the consumer needed to discuss the matter with his wife, the person insulted the consumer and hung up on him.

    BBB tips:

    • Consumers should do their own research before entering into any contracts with a company or giving personal information and/or money.
    • If possible, get current references from the company to speak with.
    • Always ask others, including family, friends and your BBB for their thoughts.
    • If you have had contact with this company, let others know about your experience by filing a BBB Customer Review and BBB Scam Tracker report.
    • You can also file complaints with: Department of Justice for the state you live in regarding elderly abuse and for fraud at www.justice.gov/action-center/report-crime-or-submit-complaint. FBI at ic3.gov for internet fraud.

    December 19, 2022, I started receiving unsolicited calls from Diamond Media Press (***** ******* Senior Author Advisor) claiming that a major publisher The ******* ****** house was "showing initial big interest to invest in your book." I checked out Diamond Media Press on the Writer's Beware website & they had Diamond Media Press on the list of companies to stay away from & not do business with them. Therefore, we sent Diamond Media Press an email telling them that we declined their offer. Well, for the next 2 days, Diamond Media Press continued to call me all day long. I did not answer, so they sent me a text Tuesday 12-27-2022 telling me that my book had reached the attention of the ******* ****** House publisher and that for $399.00, I could grab up this opportunity for my book. Again, on Wednesday 12-28-2022, I told ***** ****** of Diamond Media Press by text that I decline their offer & would never pay them to represent my book. Well, she then sent me a boat load of text insults, telling me that nobody in the marketplace were interested in purchasing my 26 books that I have written over the past 13 years. And, how I was a nobody in the book business stating that I had not established myself as an author. Anyway, there was insult after insult. I asked her, "Well, why do you keep trying to contact us. I'm glad to see your true attitude before we made any type of commitment with you." I told her to do us a favor, do not make any attempt to contact us. She then kept telling me that nobody knows me & my books but my family and friends. Finally, we told her that our legal representative had advised us to report her and Diamond Media Press to the Better Business Bureau if she persisted in harassing us. Diamond Media Press appears to be very desperate and aggressively trying to sell their packages. I am not sold on their pitch that they have a major publisher interested in your books. I reminded her that I never sought any help from them.

    I am a retired 81 year old veteran. I wrote many poems from my life experiences. Diamond Media Press contacted me about publishing my poems. I paid them $749. Have not heard from them since. I sent an email asking to get this resolved but have gone unanswered. Then I consulted a referral law office and they told me 5 places to contact after sending a letter or email to Diamond Media Press asking if we can come to a resolution. 1. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ********************. 2. (State where you reside) Division of Financial Regulation ********* 3. BBB****. 4. Department of Justice in the state you live in. You may file complaints with them for elderly abuse and for internet fraud. 5. Finally, you may file a complaint with the FBI at: *******. I hope this helps any one else who may have been scammed. *** **
