Writers beware 🚨 There are soooo many scams targeting writers at the moment. I’m getting 2-3 scam emails a day. I guess AI has made it really quick & easy to target us more convincingly now (most include a flattering synopsis of your work etc.) Double/triple check everything!!! #WritersBeware #ScamAlert #WritingCommunity #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
