Got a potential scam email from "publishing@primekdp.com" claiming my KDP account needed $2.8K to stay compliant. 🚨 NOT from Amazon. I reported it—please do the same if you get one. Always verify before engaging. #ScamAlert #IndieAuthor #KDP #CyberSafety #PublishingScam #WritersBeware
⚠️Avoid Olympia Publishers!⚠️
They charge up to 50% commission for listing your book on Amazon (which is free) and even wanted £2.7k upfront. True publishers invest in works they believe in and earn through sales—not by charging authors. Shame on them!
