Scandals of some publishing books sites such as Ingramspark.com that arbitrarily closed my accounts
Scandals of some websites for publishing books such as Ingramspark.com and other sites that arbitrarily closed my accounts without reasons.
Although I do not like to write about Scandals. I meant to call the article by this name to make the websites for publishing books understand the extent of their reputation and status and how they lose their relationship with writers and intellectuals when they deal recklessly and arrogantly and close Author accounts arbitrarily without reason as a result of instructions received from sovereign authorities.
In this article, I will review at the abusive practices against me by the book publishing website ingramspark.com.
Since I have a background with the dictatorship of publishing sites that they are not safe and it is possible to close the account without any reason when they receive orders to do so, I preferred to open four accounts at Ingramspark.com and distribute my books among them for publication. I was only publishing during periods that offer a promotion code that exempts us from the cost of publishing but does not exempt us from buying ISBNs for both digital and paperback books. I asked tech support at the site and they told me that it is possible to open many accounts, but I must publish different books on them and also change the way to writing the name of the author on them.
And I followed their instructions and I published different books in each account and I have different compensation details in each account I confirmed from the support team that I can have more than an account. So, there is some confusion in that regard. I really don’t understand what is going on.
The four accounts I created were
Account Number: 9160931 (opened in Dec 2020)
Account Number: 9201372 (opened in Dec 2020)
Account Number: 9200686 (opened in Dec 2020))
Account Number: 9200306 (opened in Dec 2020))
I did not create any new account after 2020 at all.
In April 2022, I received a message from an Ingramspark.com administrator called Carrie Fox, warning me that in their new regulations they are prohibiting Authors from opening more than one account . So I have to choose one active account out of three accounts that their system detected for me and they will close the other two accounts and that if I don't want they will close all my accounts. Although they know that I have four accounts, but she ignored the fourth account for some reason. She wanted to put the Discovery of the fourth account later as an excuse to close all my accounts even though it is old from 2020.
Here ticket was Ticket #1221352 .

And I answered that I want the account 9160931 to be active and to transfer the books in other accounts to my account 9160931
And this is screenshot of my answer in ticket #1221352 .

But, she answered me in the ticket #1221352 that they will transfer all other books in other accounts into the account 9160931 and will come back to me. This is screenshot in ticket #1221352 .

But she (Carries Fox) transferred all paper books in Account 9200686 to account Account Number: 9160931 and stopped and she did not communicate at all with me. I thought that you would allow me the four accounts and that the problem was over. But I was also afraid that there was an intention to close the four accounts and that why you did not transfer the books. I contacted the support to ask about that but they told me if they will need anything they will contact me.
Then, three months later, I was surprised, on July 22, 2022, that a message is sent to me from same person (Carries Fox) that my four accounts are being closed, claiming that I continued to violate their conditions. I did not and new account from Dec 2020. All my four accounts are old from Dec 2020 and I did not open any new account. Surprisingly, all my books in the four accounts became under pending cancellation in the blink of an eye. And she didn't even give me a chance to respond. Of course, it seems for me that this was in compliance with the orders from some sovereign authorities to close all my accounts. This is a screenshot to check her message:

Why that happens to me. I really dont understand what is going on. Who has intention to trouble me such away.
I request Ingramspark to re-open my accounts as I did not do violations and I did not intend that. Please republish my titles under pending cancellation now. Assist me please as I got tired. If Ingrampark.com wants to keep only one account, I want the account 9160931 to be active and transfer the books in other accounts to my account 9160931.
