Every day, thousands of authors receive messages that look legitimate-a friendly fellow writer, a marketing specialist with proven results, a publishing opportunity that seems perfect. By the time they realize it's a scam, their money is gone and the scammer has vanished. Rae A. Stonehouse lost over $2,000 to a sophisticated impersonation scheme that started with a fake "Sophie Kenna" Facebook profile and ended with escalating payments to phantom marketer "Nancy Catherine."
