Inside the Mind of a Therapist Who Thinks Scammers Might Just Need a Hug – or Therapy!
I glanced at the offer, dropped everything, and got back to him before he could get into mischief. It’s a trap! (He’s a big Star Wars fan.) Big Five publishers don’t recruit authors, or send messages at 2 a.m., or use generic Gmail email addresses. I suggested he do a deeper dive into that profile of the real acquisition editor. He did, and sure enough, she had posted that she was the victim of identity theft; someone was impersonating her. I encouraged him to confront the faux person with evidence of her nefarious ways, and the taunting torch was passed.
