Some sketchy dude from a one-man vanity publisher (International Frequency Sensor Association) would like me to recycle a JOSA A paper into a chapter for his book -- with a minimum of "14 or 16 pages" -- and pay him €680. He doesn't know which paper from JOSA A he has in mind.

I advised Professor Dr Yurish that I was not "interesting to submit a book chapter" -- albeit in intemperate terms, for self-plagiarism is not well-thought-of in academic circles, so the solicitation was insulting. He was not well-pleased.
Actual reply not copied here for fear of self-plagiarism.

Dear
$AUTHOR,
Does the feedback about your article titled
$TITLE published in the OSA’s Journal of the Optical Society of America A is a fucking scammy spam ? I think the OSA's journal's editors and administration in your university will be very interesting to see your reply (copy in forward) as well as to make the right decision do not publish any more articles from/with the inadequate person.
Regards,
Prof. Sergey Y. Yurish
Editor-in-Chief
And there the conversation rests.

I believe that Sergei had some kind of relationship with the Technical University of Catalonia about a decade ago and was terminated for some reason, at which point he realised that many diners can't tell cat from hare, declared himself a professor of that and another university, and launched himself as an intergalactic expert, with the assistance of his girlfriend, who is a senior figure in an international consulting firm, without the latter ever having been made aware of that fact. Castelldefels until recently had several huge and splendid illegal brothels run in collaboration with the local police, but, as you have discovered, has now become a place where law-abiding citizens can go peacefully about their boring business without let or hindrance.
Professor Dr Yursh was still claiming the UPC-Barcelona affiliation in 2016:
