I have written 11 books.
Some of them are on Amazon.
I received an email from a guy posing as a literary agent who was interested in selling one of my latest self-published books to a major publisher who had expressed an interest.
He said he only worked on a straight commission basis and would charge 15% of the proceeds if he successfully made a sale.
I thought that was a fair arrangement and in a recent phone call, I told him I was interested.
He said that there would be some expenses involved in presenting my book to a publisher.
This morning I did a Google search on his name and a website popped up called WRITERS BEWARE.
Sure enough, he had used the exact same words with me as he did with other writers.
Luckily, I didn’t give him any money.
It just seemed that his story was too good to be true.
Even at my age, I’m still amazed at people who try to earn a living defrauding others.
