Writer Beware
I urge all of my fellow writers to consult the website "Writer Beware". It is a general reference concerning the multitude of scum out there (I get two or three offers a week) that are looking to steal your money.
They will impersonate executives from film companies, publishers, et. al., offer all kinds of services and even send you contracts with the official logo of the company. Two of those even looked legitimate to a friend WHO IS A CONTRACT LAWYER!
I would say that if someone contacts you unsolicited that it is perhaps 98% certain that it is a scam.
These people have no ethics and are utterly devoid of any vestige of human decency. Please, be wary. I assume anyone who contacts me without my having made the first gesture IS A SCAM ARTIST!
Even (or maybe especially) those who offer myriad reviews. It has happened to me that the reviews were posted on Amazon and goodreads only to disappear after a week.
Please, be careful.
