“Unveiling the Hidden Risks: What Genre Library Solutions Doesn’t Want You to Know!”
Angela:
The name of the site: genrelibrarysolutions.com
After our book was first published, I received a solicitation via phone from this entity, offering to generate one million “targeted” emails to people “known” to like the genre that is our book is in. That was in June of 2024.
After I wired $1,000 to a Delaware Bank, I received a phone call from a woman who identified herself as Marie Brown. According to Brown, the email saturation of one million “targeted” emails would commence within 90 days. She has been playing duck and cover with me since then. I have all of her text messages and I have learned that Genre Library Solutions is not listed as a licensed business in the State of New York, according to the Department of State. GLS lists an address on Lexington Avenue in New York, but that is a virtual address, according to the realty management company. Mail sent there is forwarded to another address which I have not yet uncovered.
On its website, GLS lists a 315 area code (upstate NY). The identical 315 area code number is also listed to a company called Ascend, which, according to a Google search, is in the Philippines. I have screen shots in my phone to back up these claims. The GLS site also lists a Delaware address. It is listed as a corporation in that state, but a search revealed that GLS uses a “registered agent” in Las Vegas. It dead-ends from there.
My gut told me that such an offering for only $1,000 was likely a scam. But my co-author and I, even though we thought our book was a good product, had no marketing plan, so to speak. I rolled the dice only to find out that my gut was right. This is a sad commentary on a man who for 22 years worked as an investigative reporter and never got burned.
