PAGE SOLUTIONS & LITTLE BROWN… agent Sandy Lu

PAGE SOLUTIONS & LITTLE BROWN PUBLISHING
incorporating BOOKWYRM LITERARY AGENCY, via their Literary Broker/Agent. Ms. Sandy Lu.
she sent me a contract, signed by LITTLEBROWN'S vice president, Tim Holman, and Publisher, Sally Kim and editorial director, Talia Krohn, offering a substancial amount for all the Publication Rights of one of my books.
= "For the Love of Dog " I subsequently E- mailed all these people, after paying Sandy Lu over six thousand dollars ( via Page Solutions ) for servicing this contract !
Nobody responded, and I was unable to contact Page solutions or Littlebrown, in any respect as all mail, apparently seems to be directed to Sandy Lu, who explained to me that she, and LittleBrown, ( since closed in the UK ) were routing everything through Hachette Publications who planned to distribute a dozen copies to over four thousand of their outlets for Global Distribution.!
As part of this process Sandy Lu demanded another five thousand dollars as the final contract depended on the completion and successful verification of all outstanding prerequisites currently managed byt= the vendor. Part of this was a current membership to the Writers Guild of America, costing thousands, which I paid, but on receiving this contacted the Registration Administer ( Pamela Smith ) of the WGAE, who informed me the copy Sandy Lu sent me was NOT a legitimate certificate, although Kelly O'Brien agreed it looked like one of their certificates, but was definitely False !
I have now to complain to Hachette as it appears there is no way to contact Sandy Lu at bookwyrmliteraryagent
and they are being drawn into an elaborate scam which is proving very lucrative for Sandy Lu, via Page Solutions and LittleBrown. I have receipts and messages and proof of all the aforementioned scam, which apparently has been perpetrated on many aspiring writers. Beware
