MTDLN Media LLC Fraud and Impersonation Notice

How to Verify Official Communications from MTDLN Media LLC

Official Company Notice

MTDLN Media LLC takes the integrity of its business communications, publishing services, marketing activities, and relationships with authors, publishers, advertisers, affiliates, and other partners seriously.

This page has been established to help members of the public verify whether a person, email, solicitation, proposal, invoice, partnership request, or other communication claiming an association with MTDLN Media LLC is legitimate.

Be Cautious of Unauthorized Representations

MTDLN Media LLC does not authorize unknown individuals, independent organizations, book clubs, marketers, agents, promoters, or other third parties to represent themselves as employees or official representatives of MTDLN Media LLC without authorization.

A person or organization mentioning MTDLN Media LLC, displaying the company name, referencing one of our websites, or claiming to have a business relationship with MTDLN Media LLC should not automatically be assumed to be acting on behalf of the company.

If there is any uncertainty, we encourage you to independently verify the communication before providing personal information, manuscript files, account information, payment information, or money.

Reports of Possible Unauthorized Associations

MTDLN Media LLC has become aware that questions may arise regarding third-party solicitations or promotional activities in which a person or organization may claim, suggest, or imply an association with MTDLN Media LLC.

MTDLN Media LLC is not responsible for unauthorized representations made by unrelated third parties and does not permit individuals or organizations to falsely represent themselves as employees, agents, representatives, or authorized partners of the company.

The use of the MTDLN Media LLC name by an outside party does not, by itself, establish a legitimate business relationship with the company.

How to Verify an MTDLN Media LLC Communication

If you receive an email, marketing proposal, publishing offer, invoice, book promotion opportunity, advertising request, book-club invitation, partnership proposal, or payment request from someone claiming to represent or work with MTDLN Media LLC, check the following before proceeding:

• Confirm that the sender is using an official MTDLN-controlled email domain.
• Check the full email address rather than relying only on the sender's displayed name.
• Do not assume a communication is legitimate simply because it contains an MTDLN logo, company name, website address, employee name, or other publicly available information.
• Be cautious if you are asked to make an unexpected payment or send money to an individual or unrelated company.
• Verify unusual requests independently through contact information published on an official MTDLN Media LLC website.
• Do not rely solely upon telephone numbers, links, email addresses, or payment instructions contained in a suspicious message.

Official MTDLN Media LLC Domains

MTDLN Media LLC operates and manages multiple websites, publishing properties, digital publications, and online brands.

The primary corporate domains used for company communications include:

• mtdlnmedia.com
• mtdln.com

Individual MTDLN-owned publications and brands may operate from their own domains. However, anyone claiming to be an MTDLN Media LLC representative should be able to provide information that can be independently verified through the company's official channels.

Book Clubs and Third-Party Organizations

MTDLN Media LLC operates publishing, content, advertising, affiliate, marketing, and media properties. Independent book clubs, reader groups, organizations, businesses, and promotional services are separate entities unless an official relationship has been expressly established.

The fact that a book club, organization, promoter, marketer, or other third party mentions MTDLN Media LLC does not mean that MTDLN owns, operates, controls, endorses, or authorizes that organization.

Authors should independently verify any organization requesting payment for book reviews, author appearances, interviews, book-club presentations, reader exposure, promotional campaigns, trailers, advertising, or other services.

Before Sending Payment

If someone claiming to represent MTDLN Media LLC requests payment, do not hesitate to verify the request before completing the transaction.

Legitimate businesses will not object to reasonable verification.

Be especially cautious when a communication involves:

• Unexpected invoices
• Urgent payment requests
• Payment to an individual rather than the expected business
• Gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or unusual payment methods
• Requests to bypass normal business procedures
• Pressure to act immediately
• A sudden change in previously established payment instructions

If You Believe Someone Is Impersonating MTDLN Media LLC

If you receive a suspicious communication from someone claiming to represent MTDLN Media LLC, please preserve the original communication.

Helpful information may include:

• The complete sender email address
• The original email message and headers
• The name used by the sender
• Telephone numbers provided
• Website addresses or links
• Invoices or contracts
• Payment instructions
• Payment processor information
• Screenshots of messages or websites

Contact MTDLN Media LLC through contact information published directly on an official MTDLN website to request verification.

A Simple Rule

Notice Regarding Third-Party Statements

Statements made on third-party websites, social media platforms, discussion forums, review websites, blogs, emails, or other publications do not necessarily reflect the activities, policies, relationships, or position of MTDLN Media LLC.

MTDLN Media LLC cannot control representations made by unaffiliated third parties. When questions concerning an alleged relationship arise, we encourage individuals to contact the company directly for verification.
