Barbara,

Thank you for the information. Doesn't seem like we can get away from scammers. I am glad you had your publisher and he took care of you.

Well done

Cecilia

It's good to hear about stories like this, Barb. It is a good reminder to keep our guard up. I usually get four or five scammers per week. So far I haven't been sucked in.

    I've had scammers before, but this one was a little different. He had way too much information. Thank you for the support.

No errors and it's a good warning. Thank you! I don't think anyone will want to publish my work, but I won't fall for such an unsolicited offer. I'm wary of any phone calls asking for personal information.

Scammers get into everything. Social media isn't always a wonderful thing. That scammer can get all that info just by going onto Amazon and randomly picking up an author. All your titles are there, as are personal details. These people are slimeballs! I'm glad Kevin was on the ball. :) Thanks for letting us know. :)) Sandra xx

Oh, boy, good for you for sticking to your guns and avoid the scammer. A lot of elder people are violated, some lose a lot of money. You did the right thing. It's scary that he had your personal information.

Well done
