Elizabeth Luke - Goodreads Scam Warning
Hey everyone. I just learned about a new scam being run on Goodreads by A publishing Services company. They create fake accounts on Goodreads and use an image and name of a famous author and friend you. You can tell it's a fake account because these authors will have like 3-4 friends total! LOL..
Then, they reach out to authors, saying they are impressed with your book. After some small talk, they suggest a "friend" of theirs who can help you with sales. They then provide the contact info for that "friend".
They recommend a person named Elizabeth Luke elizabethluke807@gmail.com, and then she engages with you to get your business (which I'm sure is a ripoff). The next day, the "author" will have ended your friendship and removed all the email evidence, but I saved some, so I'm gonna let Goodreads know. Haha
Just to get more information on the scam, I even emailed Elizabeth Luke. When I incorrectly named the author who sent me to her, she didn't even bat an eye, which makes me realize that she's even dumber than I originally thought. She doesn't even know the authors she's using. Idiot!
Warning Indie Authors, do not fall for this new scam! These people do not deserve your money.
