R.G. Stanford (rgstanford) | 3 comments On the 19th, someone left a review on The Brothers Brown-a family saga.
She then targeted me with marketing proposals. I asked for her references and she gave me the name of a book, Ryan's Place, the authors name, and a bogus email address to contact the author. I found the author other ways and found that I was not only being lied to, but scammed. How do I report this?
Thank you for your help.

Hi R.G.

Sorry to hear this but we are all volunteers - you need Support.

I'd suggest marking your message Attn; Legal Dept.

Could you please remove the lady's name from your message? That is considered calling out & not allowed in this group.
