SCAMMERS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Attention, authors seeking legitimate publishers:

**BEWARE OF SCAMS FROM THESE COMPANIES:** ARP and its affiliates, including Citi Of Books. Recently, weve also encountered calls from individuals pretending to represent a new publisher named *KravitzandSons*.

These entities operate like predatory scammers, making grand promises they never deliver on. Theyll offer enticing assurances but fail to fulfill even the most basic commitments.

From my research, it seems theyve rebranded due to numerous pending legal cases and negative reports tied to their imprints, such as ARP. Allegedly, these companies owners use funds from unsuspecting authors to finance their own lavish lifestyles. Multiple authors have shared their experiences, revealing that individuals like George Perry, Damon Thomas, Nick Samuels, Jason Collins, Miguel, Chloe, and their affiliates consistently fail to provide the services they promise.

Worse, they reportedly auto-charge authors for unrequested services and claim its a system glitch when confronted.

Personally, Ive received calls from them but declined to engage after reading their overwhelmingly negative reviews online. Additionally, it has come to light that key figures, including Nick Samuels and Damon Thomas, are facing legal charges, and the U.S.-based affiliate is registered under the name Michael Kravitz.

Authors, protect your work and finances. Avoid these companies at all costs.

Lets hope the pending charges bring justice to those who have been affected.

If you want more concrete evidences, make use of Janisa Brunstein's experience. YOU CAN SEARCH FOR HER ON THE INTERNET OR IN BBB OR PISSED CONSUMER
