I found Penguin Book Writers online because I needed a publicist. Their website looked very enticing and I didn't see any red flags. There written offer was great (almost too good) and I talked with a person who called herself Olivia Raven. Everything seemed fine and I attempted payment via credit card. The transaction failed twice and it also failed with a different credit card. I became very suspicious when I called Olivia to tell her about the failed payment and she started coaching me how to get around the credit card blocks. The scam is extremely sophisticated. However, when I started looking closer I found out that Olivia's LinkedIn account is visible only on request -- strange for a business developer. Their website lists authors they have helped but none of them exist.
