Unmasking the Deceptive Email that Nearly Fooled a Book Publisher: A Kensington Books Impersonation Exposed
The website was registered just five weeks ago. The real Kensington Books has been in business since 1974.
We call that an amateur scammer.
While the introductory email said they weren’t going to charge you anything, they were going to later refer you to (fake) “industry professionals” to make your book “better,” and they WERE going to charge you for that. And, those weren’t going to be different companies/individuals. The scammers were going to pretend they were, but they all work together. In many cases, all of the “industry professionals” are actually the same guy sitting at a computer in another country (Pakistan, the Philippines, Nigeria, etc.). Again, it was NOT going to be free.
