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!
