Even in the Book Blogger Industry you’ll find scammers. Most of the people are lovely and will do their best for you, the odd person will try to scam you. This was brought to our community’s attention by Tracey. I suggest you read her article about this. Someone is posing as her, using a gmail address which Tracey will not see.
If a Book Blogger emails you asking you for money to be included in a directory they’re writing then I suggest you do some research to make sure the offer is legitmate. Do not rely on links in the email, instead pop into your favourite search engine and run a search. Or find their real email address and email them to ask for more information.
I’d like to close with a thanks to Steve, the author who did what I suggested and then contacted Tracey. Now we know.
