Scam Description

This company claimed to be a publishing company where individuals could self-publish a book. The website at the time looked quite convincing, as it claimed to provide help with publishing the book. However, the website could not be found as the individuals said they had ‘rebranded’ it to APP Amazon Pro Publisher. Within the ten months I worked with them, my project managers changed five times, with excuses to back their claims. I paid an intial fee with a contract signed and then paid a ‘copywrite fee’ (which the bank is dealing with).
Is this a legitimate business or a scam? Thank you.
