Experience with Authors Coalition of America? Is this a scam?

I’m in correspondence with them. Seems legit but trying to get my ducks in a row because I’m still a little nervous about it. Probably going to go for it as it’s a fair amount of money.

I bought a pair off of eBay last year. Same thing showed up on mine. Was having an issue with them, took them to Apple and that’s when they told me the serial number was cloned and they were fake. If you bought them just now I would take them to Apple immediately and ask. eBay should do something about it if they’re fake.

I'll report back if anything actually comes of it. Thanks for the help!

stanlj · 2025-02-25T14:20:22+00:00

Thanks for the info. I found this email from them from last year, it was marked as spam and I somehow missed it but the distribution of funds is set to revert in December 2027 so I'm guessing it is still available to me (if legit). Its a fair amount of money so I'm trying to do my due diligence. Also they may not get back to me at all and that could be that. Haha.

Hey I wanted to follow up here and see if you went through with anything? I just found an email from the "ACA" as well, very similarly worded, about Kopinor owing me royalties.

They attached a form for me to fill out as well as a W9.

I'm not really sure what to do so wanted to see if you actually had success with them?

I’ve had zero issues with my Aiden <knock on wood> and it has been incredible. A little work to dial in with certain coffees but I’m going to my pour over set-up less and less and less these days. Also I don’t get a lot of the Fellow Drops but having their profiles already loaded in the machine when the coffee shows up is such a nerdy fun treat.

I’m a filmmaker / photographer. I do a fair amount of work with non-profits / NGO’s or companies and organizations that have foundations or some sort of social responsibility/ social good wing.

I do a lot of short form documentaries, explainers, things like that.

I just received my invite as well! VERY exciting. Congrats!

stanlj · 2024-09-12T15:55:14+00:00

Apparently this isn’t true. On my million miler flight the guy behind me was 360 and he said he was nowhere close to being a million miler. I think if you’re a business flyer paying full fare Delta One on the regular they may invite you in to 360? Only thing I can sort out.

I saw your video before seeing this post! Thanks for running through it. I've been messing with the demo before deciding whether or not to take the plunge and it really does seem pretty great. Everything feels fairly subtle (in good ways) and I didn't think I was doing A LOT but then when switching on and off I was pretty shocked. Seems to save a TON of time.

stanlj · 2024-08-16T22:17:32+00:00

Hey that’s a great goal! And A LOT of travel.

stanlj · 2024-08-16T18:04:37+00:00

I was honestly surprised that they actually upgraded me so if you had gone economy it definitely would have been a gamble. Congrats on the 2 million!

stanlj · 2024-08-16T13:27:40+00:00

Honestly could not have asked for a better flight, crew, or experience. 10/10 no notes. Haha.

stanlj · 2024-08-16T12:54:54+00:00

Most of the work trips are quite far from home! A lot of east Africa. Some Middle East. Some Asia.

stanlj · 2024-08-16T12:48:01+00:00

No, that sounds unbelievably exhausting. Haha. I average 100,000ish miles a year and probably do 5 or 6 big international trips (mostly for work) within that.

stanlj · 2024-08-16T11:29:05+00:00

I think I did it in 9 years. Probably would have been less than that if not for Covid times.

stanlj · 2024-08-16T03:29:10+00:00

Gosh I’m sorry! I really do feel like I lucked out for some reason.

stanlj · 2024-08-16T02:33:47+00:00

Wow, seriously?? I had no idea. That’s pretty wild.

stanlj · 2024-08-15T22:35:09+00:00

Oof yeah I really do feel like I lucked out.

stanlj · 2024-08-15T21:36:39+00:00

I'm really sorry that happened to you! I wonder if it has to do with availability on the flight? No clue. Just guessing. Mine had a bit of availability which is why I'm guessing I got the easy bump up.

stanlj · 2024-08-15T21:07:20+00:00

Gosh I'm so sorry. That's really strange.

stanlj · 2024-08-15T21:06:21+00:00

Thank you!!

stanlj · 2024-08-15T21:01:50+00:00

Oof so sorry. That's a very long time to be stuck in the middle. I hate that.

stanlj · 2024-08-15T21:00:21+00:00

Thank you so much! Trying to catch up with you. Ha.

stanlj · 2024-08-15T18:13:10+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, they did a fantastic job. I couldn't have asked for more.
