Well, writers are not known for being rich but they are after money. Maybe they want to steal a written story but…. If i cant sell it, neither can they. Maybe they’d do me a favor. Plus, they can just steal my story from KDP and i would never know.

Just say no. It the only practical policy.

In my (painfully gleaned) experience, they are after fees for their fake book club, optimization, reviewers, or whatnot. The best will put forth just enough effort to keep the fees rolling in.

Big giveaways: They will insist on bank transfers or extremely suspect PayPal accounts. The Nigerian ones are fond of words like 'kindly.'

Ah...they got their hooks into you once?

I've been zapped by things in my life, but so far, not a book scammer.
