Authors Without A Yacht (AWaY) discussion

(Posted a question I get asked a lot)

First of all, thank you for visiting to check it out.

Type in a search request for a ridiculous author name. You may amuse yourself.

It is unlikely that there really is a book by "Angry Author" or by "Rowena Blabbermouth Churlish". If they claim to have that, they are probably tracking you and hoping to trick you into subscribing.

PS.

Please share your made up names and successes in identifying scams.

The easiest way to identify scams is Google the site, email or info plus the word scam. Chances are someone has pegged it as phony.
