I am a new independent author who had my first book independently published in March 2015. I therefore have been looking at all means of publicity, and was attracted to the site -
http://indiewritersupport.com - where I paid $250.00 online (through paypal) in late march 2015 to join the Bestsellers Programme advertised. Despite repeatedly chasing, and receiving all sorts of apologies and reassurance from 'Judd Miller' (who I am now told is not a real person but simply an alias for someone else who cons s gullible authors - Korede Abayomi), none of the advertised services have been provided. I have therefore repeatedly demanded back my money, but have faced silence. Online other authors have warned me this whole site is a scam, the most recent address given by Abayomi when he registered his websites is:
[Redacted by board owner, because we don't dox here]
Assuming that this IS his real address, I was advised to get in touch with the police at Great Falls and tell them my story. I did , but have heard nothing at all back! So then the Montana Consumer Protection people have suggested that anyone who has actually lost money to Miller/ Abayomi should get in touch with the Federal Trade Commission, so I have!

Anyone else had issues, if so let them know! I note he keeps taking down the posts I put on
