FLOCO Holdings LLC — Fraud Alert Policy

Effective Date: May 6, 2025
Last Updated: August 24, 2026

​

Overview:

 

FLOCO Media is committed to protecting its community - including authors, artists, job seekers, partners, and vendors - from fraud, scams, and malicious impersonations. This policy outlines the types of fraudulent activities we’ve identified, the bad actors and fake entities we do not associate with, and the steps you should take to verify legitimate communication with FLOCO or its division (FLOCO Music, FLOCO & Ink, etc.).

​

1. Publishing Fraud Alert:

 

FLOCO has been made aware of impersonators posing as FLOCO Media, FLOCO Music, or FLOCO & Ink employees or agents. These bad actors approach independent authors, musicians, or creators with false offers, contracts, and publishing deals -often requesting payment for services we do not charge for.

​

🚫 FLOCO Holdings will NEVER:

  • Charge upfront to consider your manuscript, demo, album, or idea.

  • Require third-party editing, trailers, or certifications for submission.

  • Ask for your bank account or personal identification for review purposes.

  • Use *Gmail, Yahoo, or unofficial domains for outreach (*Our flocoholdings@gmail.com email is the only valid Gmail account that we have have ever used).

​​

We only use these domains:

  • @flocoholdingsllc.com

  • @flocomedia.com
     

If you are contacted with suspicious documents, logos, or screenshots claiming to be from us—do not engage. Contact us immediately at: 📧 info@flocomedia.com

​

2. Job Recruitment Fraud Alert:

 

FLOCO does not solicit payment during any phase of recruitment. If you are approached with job offers involving fees, gift card purchases, or suspicious contracts, it is a scam.

​

⚠️ Scammers may:

  • Impersonate FLOCO recruiters on LinkedIn, Telegram, or job boards.

  • Use fake domains like @applicantsinformation.com or @careerplacementteam.com.

  • Send phony interview invites or employment contracts.

​

3. Phishing and Scam Communications:

 

Phishing scams may come via email, text, or social media messages—often with urgent language, suspicious links, or fake requests for sensitive info.
 

Watch for:

  • Misspellings in email domains (e.g., @floocoholdings.com, @floco-pub.net)

  • Emails from Gmail or Outlook accounts pretending to be our executives (As of July 31, 2025, all FLOCO Staff will use @flocomedia.com email addresses from now on).

  • Threats of account suspension or promises of large sums of money.

✔️ Before clicking, hover over all links to verify their destination. FLOCO will never ask you to change payment methods via an           unexpected email.
 

4. Known Fraudulent Entities:

 

FLOCO is not affiliated with and does not endorse the following entities:

​

  • Book Trance Media

  • Ink Start Media

  • Prime Tech Virtual

  • Rare Books Media

  • Zenith Literary

  • "Foxfire Talent" (Note: Not affiliated with FLOCO Media)

  • Any service or person claiming to be “affiliated with FLOCO” but lacking official contact information.

​​

If your business is mistakenly listed, contact: 📧 info@flocomedia.com

​

5. How to Report a Scam:

 

If you’ve encountered fraud or believe you are a target:
 

  1. Do not respond or click any links.

  2. Document everything - take screenshots, save emails.

  3. Forward suspicious communication to: 📧 info@flocomedia.com

  4. Report to authorities:

​​

6. Verification & Tips:


🔒 Quick Tips to Stay Safe:

  • Always double-check the email domain before replying.

  • We do not send contracts as images or screenshots - only PDFs with verification links.

  • Contact us directly via our website to verify any communication.

  • When in doubt, ask for a video call or phone verification using the number on our official website.
     

✅ Legitimate contact info will always match:

  • Our websites and social profiles

  • Domain-verified emails

  • Verified social media accounts (coming soon for all FLOCO brands)

Final Reminder


If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your instincts, and don’t engage with any suspicious contact until you've verified it through official FLOCO channels.
 

🔒 Stay smart. Stay safe. Stay creative.
