    WriteSetGo has not delivered on any of its promises while just demanding money out of me. They scammed me. They made me pay about $30,000 for me. I paid for interviews, more editing, some European thing (I sent money overseas, at least according to them) to pay for something to help stabilize the website. Oh yeah, the website they made for me leaves visitors with some malware thing, I have made no sales at all. Their agent promised me my book would sell, and I got nothing. I got no interview. Nothing. Whenever I got upset and refused to immediately pay, their agent would get angry with me. WriteSetGo scammed me. Their agent, B**** ****** (if that is his real name), actually cost me altogether about $60,000, due to working with another self-book publishing company called Genesis Book Writing. He made me pay about $30,000 through Genesis Book Writing. He suddenly broke up with them and moved onto WriteSetGo. He didn't consult with me about continuing the book publishing or not. He just demanded me giving him more money. My own bank Provident Bank called B**** *****l, WriteSetGo, and Genesis Book Writing scammers. M***** made me pay through wire transfers and PayPal after my debit card wasn't working. My bank cut me off from wire transfers. Back at Genesis Book Writing, he wouldn't take no as an answer from me. He told me he met with a LionsGate representative, saying they would read my book for a possible movie. He told me the money was going to LionsGate and not to Genesis Book Writing. And after WriteSetGo, he tells me the offer with LionsGate is no longer applicable. I cut him off after he kept demanding more and more money to have some hard copy books put into a Barnes and Noble store. He kept moving the goal posts, making me pay for random stuff like storing any hard books. At best, I paid top dollar for garbage. At worst, I was scammed for everything. There is so much to say about the manipulation, lies, and gaslighting I suffered.


    These guys are scammers. All this company has been doing is moving the goal posts and making me pay more. I have gotten nothing back. I paid for some European online thing because the Stripe account was not synchronizing with my bank, and still no synchronizing with my so-called book website. I paid $3,500 for an interview for my book, which I have never got. The agent from the company was demanding I pay up immediately. My bank called this a scam. They cut me off from doing wire transfers to them. So they had me pay through PayPal. There has been too many problem with the merchants they worked with. Their agent tried to make me have my bank take back the money sent to some of these merchants. The bank wouldn't do it. They said they would get some of my book into a Barnes and Noble. I paid the money, and then suddenly I have to pay a few thousand more to have my book displayed in front of the store instead of just being put in the back. I don't have the money to pay it because of other financial problem in my life now. They say if I don't pay up, my book will be taken off the shelf. One of their agents is indirectly responsible for causing me to lose an additional $30,000 before working with WriteSetGo. It was with Genesis Book Writing. The agent told me he got swindled by them, but now growing evidence proves he is lying. I have paid $30,000 and have gotten no money back. I have been more than patient with them, but enough is enough. They took advantage of a guy, me, who had two autistic brothers, and I am also diagnosed with autism. They pretended to care while taking my money from me. Oh yeah, nobody picks up the main number of WriteSetGo. Whenever calling their number, it always goes to message. Nobody responds to my voice mail. It has been at least 3 years of this book publishing mess in combinat
