I received email from "Jaime" about my "high quality e-book" which is still in pieces in scrivener and the services she can provide for me. The "services" range from proof reading to writing "honest" reviews. I want to report this "Jaime" to goodreads, but not sure how or where. I'm not in danger of being taken in by this scam, but others may be. Thanks in advance. If not in correct folder, please move.

I am not sure what reporting would do because they will keep popping up like mushrooms. I, personally, receive about 3 per week. They make my blood boil and you're right, they may dupe unsuspecting readers. Just not sure what can be done about them.
I got a similar offer from someone who couldn't be bothered to answer my reply. Pretty sorry business model, even if it was a scam.
Forgot to add - a lot of the ones I get contain such atrocious English that I doublyu fear it would be impossible to locate them and shut them down. These kinds of people simply clone new IP addresses and continue what they were foing.
On behalf of all Jamie's everywhere (except 'that' Jamie) I'm appalled. And I tend to agree with Tara. Unless there's a solid link to GR there might not be much to be done.

I've gotten that message a few times and so have some of the other mods. Ignore it. There's not a lot that can be done, I'm afraid. Jaime continues to send it out, somehow, even after being reported.
Generally if a message comes in about my book and the person inquiring gives no details (like, which one...?) I do not even respond.
