Mr. Adam Selviani, Company director of Raider Publishing Internation
Complaint 231360 Details

Please consider this as an extremely serious matter disgracing the great country of USA, entire publishing fields & the authors of the world, the entire exchange of information on Internet and for the network of all search engines especially the Google.
However, the New York Police Department has extensive crime scene investigation & laboratory resources assisted with computer crime investigations & though they runs an anti crime computer network, essentially a large search engine & data warehouse operated by detectives to assist officers in the field with their investigations, a Domain Awareness System, a joint project of Microsoft and NYPD & other surveillance devices into an integrated system to ensure public safety, Mr. Adam salviani the company director of Raider Publishing International, New York, U.S.A. cheated & looted me using the Net by representing the publishing field of the world. “Once there was a time when publishers used to work very hard at promoting writers” is not an indictment against publishers but present fact remains that there also are criminals in this field.
The fact of my case is I am an author living in India. I wrote a book & searched for a publisher on the net. I had sent many mails to the leading publishers of the world & was waiting for a favorable reply from any of those to whom I submitted few pages of my manuscript to review. It is really very unfortunate that I found a website http://www.raiderpublishing.com on the top of Google search while searching top ten publishers of the world, from where, Mr. Adam salviani had responded me on 16th October 2012 as under:
“I have the pleasure of informing you that we have looked over your submission and we have decided to accept your work for publication. We have attached our Acceptance Packet to this email, which includes all of our contracts and relevant information”
I am completely new in the publication field so it sounds me good & as per their Acceptance Packet had selected a Silver packet after regular exchange of mails. Finally, I had signed a contract sent by them through mail & sent Indian Rs.:95,000/- towards the publication fees on 16th of January, 2013 via wire transfer in to the bank account of Mr. Adam's company along with my manuscripts of my debut book in a fully completed manner both in 8.5 x 5.5 book format & in Word document format duly completed with proof reading along with signed contract & duly designed both coverage. But that man had made me fool & stopped responding to me from the moment he received the money.
The one who previously use to answer me frequently wrote me that a personal assistant was appointed for you as per our contract & she will answer your question in a timely fashion & from now you will have to contact her. I had contacted her to get the receipt of the payment received by them but an auto reply message came to me that “thank you someone will answer soon” but till date there is no response from her desk too. His last mail I received on 17th January 2013 is as under:
Dear Mahesh,
I have the pleasure of informing you that we have received your publication fee as of this afternoon, on our side of the world. Thank you again for joining us as one of our authors.
Please feel free to contact Elizabeth ([email protected]) with any questions, comments or concerns that you might have from this point forward. She has instructions to answer your questions in a timely fashion and you will be working with her throughout the length of the publication process.

By all these above, I feel as if I am ripped off my hard-earned money and of course the global rights of my precious manuscripts in addition to the mental torture and the irreparable damages caused to my writing career & my present economical condition. I want due justice, I want my hard earned money to be returned, I want him to be prevented in continuing any such cheating in the publishing field. I want him to be punished well for his great international crime. I, therefore, heartily request you to take all possible initiative against this inhuman criminal offense & to avail me justice, the refund of my money, to prevent this man & his company to carry on such an evil business & to provide due punishment to him that is able enough to set an example for the entire authors & publishers of the world.
It is now proved that this man is in practice to cheat the new comers in this way, & therefore, considering it as my moral duty, I have started a big movement against a taint of the publishing field of the world & especially of America. I am in hard need of your help & therefore, I hereby beg for your guidance & support. Please let me guide what I should do in this case from now.
Please join my hands & do the needful what you can to provide help at your optimum level for a good cause. I am eager to furnish all detail about him & his company at any time.
