Unmasking Deception: The Shocking Truth Behind Your Favorite Facebook Writing Group’s Moderator
You should be able to find a real publisher to format your manuscript, create a cover, finalize your production files, upload your files to a printer, provide you with a print galley, and provide full distribution for no more than $1000. If somebody is charging more than that for those basic services, RUN!
If you’ve been scammed, know that you are NOT getting your money back.
Now, none of this will help you recover any money that you initially threw at a scammer. First, know that someone offering to publish your book for “in just $299” is totally planning to screw you. However, if you did fork over $299 (or any amount) to someone who starts saying that they need more money to get this done, more money to get that done, etc., it is time for you to ask for a refund, and to terminate that contract. Incidentally, almost all of the scammers’ websites have a “100% money back guarantee” on listed. One even laughingly says “200%.” That’s fake feel-good verbiage. You’re not getting your money back. Period.
