Unmasking the Deceptive Charm: How AI-Generated "Compliments" Are Tricking Authors Worldwide
In this episode, we discuss a new scamming technique that combines the old with the new. Scammers are now using AI to create convincing-sounding “reviews” of authors’ books, while using spamming software to send out these email scams by the thousands, if not millions, on a daily basis.

If you’ve ever received an email from from a Gmail, Yahoo, or other public-use email service, singing praises for your book (playing on your ego!), and offering to market your book for you, it’s very likely you’re being scammed.
