Episode 49: The Untold Battles and Betrayals Behind the Scam Chronicles
As we’ve said many times, there are so many scammers out there now, they literally now FAR outnumber legitimate businesses!
Ninety-nine percent of the time, Angela will do the research, and discover that the “business” an author is looking at is indeed a scammer, and will advise the author as such.
Most authors thank Angela and are very grateful to her for saving them from making a huge mistake and losing LOTS of money.
However, some authors’ responses simply baffle the mind. Some will argue that, to them, the scammer’s website looks legitimate. Some argue that the person they have spoken to on the phone or traded emails with sounds SO professional. Some are even dumb enough to tell the scammers, “Angela from WritersWeekly.com says you’re a scammer.” Then, the author will literally come back to us and argue that the scammer PROMISED them that they are not a scammer! (Don’t EVEN get us started on the “money-back-guarantees” that scammers put on their websites. Authors actually think those false statements will protect them later!)
