   • Vanity Publishers Posing as Big Five Publishers. Never underestimate the chutzpa of publishing scammers. One of the Philippines companies that broke off from the Author Solutions scam machine has been posing as “Hachette US” and may be masquerading as other members of the Big Five.
   • Fraudster Marketing Companies that Use Names of Respected Publishing Professionals. Mass-spamming the general public with press releases or tweets is worth absolutely nothing.
   • Boxed Sets That Promise USA Today Bestseller Status. I warned people about boxed set scams last year, because there were some that devolved into toxic cults, but there are new scammers in town, and charities have been ripped off as well as authors.
