Sorry about Brian's voice on this episode. He was in the preliminary phase of COVID, and now he's totally laid up and miserable.
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.
We've been shocked at how many authors are fooled by these "cold call" emails - most of which are coming from GMAIL accounts. Seriously, how many well established companies use GMAIL for their email needs?
If you've ever received an email from from a Gmail, Yahoo, or other public-use email service, singing praises for your book and offering to market your book for you, it's very likely you're being scammed.
Don't miss this episode. Find out what to look for to protect yourself.
