How I Uncovered a Hidden Scam Threatening an Author’s $18K—and What You Need to Know Now
This scammer, impersonating an actual film distribution company, wanted to “pick up” the author’s $18K payment that morning!!! Luckily, his worried rep contacted me.
FROM THE REP:
This morning’s email advised that there are no discounts from the $18,000, and urged him to rush the money to them right away and they’ll kindly pick it up.
This smells to high heaven to me, but you’re the expert. He’s simply not taking my word for it. I can’t help but wonder how any other authors are being hit with the same sort of “we can make a movie out of your book, we just need you to participate in the investment.”
