“Are You a Scam Victim? Beware of the Fake Helpers Offering Refunds—But at What Cost?”
Stay safe by assuming that anyone offering a refund recovery service is a scammer. You can usually see them on Facebook and elsewhere, often using a foreign name, and responding in an empathetic tone to the scam victim’s post.
We believe these folks are part of the foreign publishing scam network and that they have simply found yet another way to defraud authors – charging them for a service they’ll never perform…just like the promised publishing services that never happened!
Here are the facts:
1. If you paid using a bank transfer, you’re NEVER getting your money back no matter what the “recovery” scammer tells you. We’ve heard from several authors who were told by the scam publishers that their “credit card system was down” and that payment needed to be made through a bank transfer. NEVER, EVER pay using a bank transfer!
