Description

I was looking for a book publishing company and had a website chat conversation with Elite Book Studios. They gave me a great deal for $500 that included a lot of services. I looked them up on Trust Pilot and other rating platforms and they had great reviews. I noticed the name of the person calling was an American name; however, the person who called me was foreign. I also heard a series of beeps and clicks. The company tried to obtain money from me, although my bank stopped it, citing it as fraud, as it was charged to two names. Two days later, I received an alert that my email address and phone number were compromised on the dark web. It happened the day that I was talking with them.
