on Writer Beware®:
I’ve been expending a lot of words and time lately warning about the latest scam phenomenon to hit the writing world: fake publishing and marketing companies that, through outrageous prices and worthless services, extract enormous amounts of money from unwary writers.
Based in the Philippines (despite their apparent US addresses, phone numbers, and telemarketer names) and focusing primarily on small press and self-published authors (particularly authors who’ve published with one of the Author Solutions imprints), these companies recruit writers with relentless–and highly deceptive–phone and email solicitations.
My posts about the scams–where they come from, how they work, and how to recognize them:

Scammers are so easy to to detect. 1. They contact you and not vice versa. 2. They don’t offer you money, but ask you for money.
