So I'm not having a paranoid delusion?
Does this guy sound like a scammmer?
Or should I ask my doc to up my meds?
I'd say your current dose is just fine.
Consider the opening skit. Even without the grammatical errors, it tells us that this guy doesn't have a clue and/or is deliberately targeting PA folks:

Lowery Writing Services is pleased to announce that it now
offers everything an author needs to promote their work. This
package includes:
Short Synopsis (Can be used for back of book or other marketing tools).
A cover blurb is not a synopsis, nor would a synopsis make a good cover blurb. Full stop.
Brochure Detailing the book and includes an Author Biography (great for bookstore pitches or speaking engagements).
Bookstore pitches? Does he mean signings or pitching to bookstores? I think we see where this is going....
Promotional Letter (Perfect for review queries and for getting your book in stores).
It is not the author's job to get reviews or put books in stores. It is not the author's responsibility to get reviews or put books in stores. It is not in the author's purview to get reviews or put books in stores. It is not the author's gig to get reviews or put books in stores. It is not within the author's scope of work to get reviews or put books in stores.
Advertising Copy (You don't have to write about yourself we will do it for you. Newspapers, Magazines, Radio Ads, we can do it all).
Such ads are next to useless and definitely a major expense. And not the author's job.
A complete professional experience where you will work one on one with a writer who wants you to succeed. After all we want your business again and again.
Notice he doesn't say "marketing professional" or some such...honesty, or Freudian slip?
I'll bet.
