EternalGhostwriting scam

For a long time, I told myself I was the exception.
That I’d been unlucky. That perhaps my book wasn’t “marketable” (even though I knew that it wasn’t the matter here).

But the more I searched, the more I saw: this wasn’t personal.
It was a pattern.
It was a system.

What Eternal Ghostwriting did to me, they’ve done to others. Again and again.

Once I started looking beyond their website and the polished sales calls, I found a trail of shattered trust—stories like mine, scattered across the internet like broken glass. I saw complaints on the Better Business Bureau, on Trustpilot, on Ripoff Report, on Reddit threads and author forums. I saw blogs, comments, and screenshots from authors who had the same experience: lured in by smooth-talking consultants, promised guaranteed results, left with nothing but empty emails and broken dreams.

And just like me, many of them had signed a contract.
Many of them had been told they’d see ROI within months.
Many of them had asked for a refund—and been told it wasn’t an option.

Some never even got their books published.
Some were told their books were “live” but couldn’t find them anywhere.
Others found their work being sold through strange third-party seller accounts—at marked-up prices they hadn’t agreed to.

The similarities were too precise to be random.

• Fake names.
• Disappearing agents.
• “Managers” who couldn’t be verified.
• Phone calls with “Rose Daniels” or whoever they were pretending to be that day.
• The same denial of refunds.
• The same refusal to take responsibility.
• The same endgame: ghost the client, wait for them to give up, and move on to the next.

It’s not just fraud.
It’s finesse fraud—professionalized, disguised, and sold with a smile.

And worst of all? Most people stay silent.

Because they feel ashamed.
Because they think it was their fault.
Because they don’t know how to fight a business with no address, no face, no clear legal trail.

I nearly stayed silent..too proud to admit that I have been fooled…robbed.

I nearly buried my embarrassment and moved on, telling myself to just forget it.

But then I couldn’t , my anger was at its peak.
And then I thought of all the people like me who are still one phone call away from being tricked.
Still out there, googling “affordable book marketing.”
Still vulnerable, still hopeful, still believing that maybe, just maybe, this time the promise is real.

I can’t let that happen.

It’s not just about me anymore.
It’s about a predatory business model that feeds on creativity, ambition, and financial vulnerability.
A model that’s perfected the art of vanishing the moment things go wrong—only to reappear under a new name, a new logo, a new website, repeating the same scam in a new costume.

If you’re reading this and you’ve been through something similar:
You are not alone. And you are not to blame.

They want you to feel like a fool so you won’t speak up.
They want you to doubt your memory, your evidence, your right to justice.
But the truth is, you were targeted—not because you were stupid—but because you were hopeful.
And that is not a weakness.
That’s what they weaponized.

But now, I’m weaponizing the truth.

Because this time, their next potential client will find this blog first.
And maybe they’ll read it.
And maybe they’ll stop before they sign.
And maybe—just maybe—they’ll save themselves from becoming the next “me.”
