On 11/28/2024, while spending hours searching the internet for book printing companies, including reading an array of customer reviews. As well as, contacting numerous book printing companies seeking to establish an ongoing book reprinting shipment service with a reliable company to ensure I had books on hand to quickly fill and ship orders to customers customers ordering books from my online bookstore. Three-hours had pasted when suddenly, I received a message stating, "I see you are looking for a book printing company. My company is the best in the business when it comes to quick book printing and cover design service. Click this link so we can talk *******@thewriterstree.com. I should have known this contact was going to be a scam for several reasons; I never saw any reviews about this company, nor had I ever been tagged by an employee of a company while reading reviews.
Because I needed to quickly stock books prior to a new E-Commerce online bookstore being activated on 01/11/2025, which was discussed with Gary Burton and Tom Ingram, both representatives for the beforementioned company email address. Gary swore his company was the best in the business, even better than Amazon do-it-yourself platforms, and ensured me via phone call and written contract that his company could print the 60-paperback books; 10-copies each from six-manuscripts, and have them shipped to me within ten-days. As a result, I signed the contract he sent; made the $2000.00 advance payment for this service which was never honored or fulfilled by his company. Therefore, I filed a complaint against this company with Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade Commission, as well as with my bank.
I was forced to find and hire another printer. Resulting in the hiring of a top-notch book printing company staffed by honest, extremely helpful employees whose purpose is to meet the needs of customers as quickly as possible. On 01/23/2025I, I hired "On Press Book Printing", located in New Jersey. As my recurring book printing company. This company printed and shipped 150 copies of my books to me on February 3,2025. Therefore, my E-Commerce Bookstore designers resent my store to its population department on February 11,2025. Whenever this store is activated On Press Book Printing, and I are ready to sell my books. Bye-the-way, no contract or advance payment was required.
This company scammed me out of $2000.00.
