Design Book Press

Hi, I receiced some emails from three different Chinese Company. They want publishing one of my graphic works in their new design books and I'm trying to understand if they are frauding me.
The companies are: Sendpoints Publishing Co., Artpower International Publish Co. and Hightone Design Book Cor.
All of them have a website but only two sell their book on Amazon (Artpower and Sendpoints).
They are true Companies or these are only scams?
Thanks in advance for your attention and for any help you can provide!

I would be extremely wary of any unsolicited aproach, particularly from a firm in somewhere like China (or are your books particularly focused on the Chinese market?) - so to get three would make me even more wary..

Looking at the 3 companies:

Sendpoints does have a website that has been around since 2007.
Artpower have a website that has been around since 2005.
Hightone have a website that has been around since 2010.

So, it does appear that legitimate companies of those names do exist. However, you would need to make sure that you are really dealing with the actual companies and not a scammer impersonating them.

Hi AlanJones, thank you for your reply.
My works are not focused on the Chinese market but I have an online portfolio on Behance, a design network, and a lot of people around the world can see my profile.
I googled their company combining keywords like scam, fraud and other synonyms but results are confused like me.
I contacted other designers that published their projects on the books of these companies and I hope they will answer me.
How could I do to make sure I'm dealing with actual companies?

Make sure that any email addresses or phone numbers that you use are on the company's legitimate websites (when I Googled their names, the real websites were the first result). If the email comes from a different domain (even if it is only slightly different), then you need to be concerned.
