Just a heads up that someone is impersonating me and sending emails to writers with my name and image on them. These are not from me. Sorry for the confusion. Please ignore any emails that are not from therightsfactory.com domain. #publishingscam #authoralert

The scammers know we're always hungry for reviews. muhammedexpert60 at Gmail sent: "I’m planning to write a short Goodreads review because it genuinely stuck with me. Can I send it?" Tempted? It's a trap. DO NOT RESPOND.

Authors are being targeted by AI-driven scams, fake book clubs, and “review boost” pitches that sound incredibly convincing. #enigmaseries

Got a potential scam email from "publishing@primekdp.com" claiming my KDP account needed $2.8K to stay compliant. 🚨 NOT from Amazon. I reported it—please do the same if you get one. Always verify before engaging. #ScamAlert #IndieAuthor #KDP #CyberSafety #PublishingScam #WritersBeware

⚠️Avoid Olympia Publishers!⚠️
They charge up to 50% commission for listing your book on Amazon (which is free) and even wanted £2.7k upfront. True publishers invest in works they believe in and earn through sales—not by charging authors. Shame on them!
