Someone called me twice last night about a book publishing company. They do not know my real name and wanted to confirm I am the author (whom they do not know!). Then they called me back to ask if I am the "Author, Mark Michael Costa?" I looked on Google - there is NO such Author named that. This was an attempted Phishing Scheme to acquire information.
(I wonder who?).

Hey Michael,
This is Kenneth Machin, an author advisor from PageTurner Press and Media. I'm sending this email to verify highly confidential information. Your profile was forwarded to my office and a Traditional publishers are eyeing one of these book(s) and before they acquire them they want to make sure that you are the author of this book.
PageTurner Press and Media and Traditional Publishers like Penguin/Random House, Hachette Book Group, Simon and Schuster, and Harper Collins have seen potential in your work, and we believe you can make a best seller of it with the right representation and proper marketing. This is a feat that you can surely be proud of.
How It Works
PageTurner Press and Media is cut above the rest. It is a rebranding institution that thrives on competence, efficiency, affordability, and esteem. We have published manuscripts that exude superior quality. From cover designs and illustrations to editing, our Production Team naturally outperforms themselves.
Our team conducts a rigorous evaluation and screening of thousands of books to choose the ones that meet the industry standards. In other words, you’re receiving this proposal because we think your book has the potential of being taken seriously by traditional publishers, bookstores, and movie producers.
Phase 1: Rebranding
We have a team of copy editors and graphic designers who will turn your book into the best version it could be. We’ll redo the cover and the formatting, and we’ll have your book edited to make sure that it’s in perfect condition before we pitch it to our partners.
Phase 2: Representation
Equipped with the right features, your book will now be assigned to a literary agent who will pitch it to the biggest traditional publishing industries, bookstores, and movie and TV producers to be considered for an offer. These agents have decades of experience, and along with the connections PageTurner has, it will be easy for them to get you a favorable deal.
Phase 3: Marketing and Distribution
After your book is chosen, we will proceed with marketing and distribution. We will get your book to the hands of as many readers as possible.
We will exhaust all marketing campaigns, such as using Facebook ads, email marketing, guesting on shows and podcasts, featuring your book in the New York Times, etc.
Phase 4: Receiving Royalty
As a self-published author, you already had to shell out some cash to make your book a reality. Now it’s time for you to earn.
While some authors write just for the sake of writing, it won’t hurt to earn a decent income from a published work. This is also an indication that your book is well-received by readers. If your dream is to become a full-time writer, then getting paid for the work you do is essential.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Machin
Author Advisor
