The most recent one was actually pretty well done, but you are right that they often seem machine-written. I also get offers to buy my business and those definitely seem AI written.
I get a lot of these a week, Jill. Scammers are relentless. They're getting easy to spot for me. It's like they have some coded template, but it all comes out the same if you read between the lines. A very relatable read, Jill.
There’s something especially unsettling about scams that know exactly how to speak to our hopes and ambitions. I’m glad you trusted your instincts and kept writing anyway, because that’s the part nobody should lose to these people.
Thanks for sharing your experiences to help other authors. The scams are exhausting! We had a half-dozen scammers jump on our Facebook posts for our bookstore grand opening saying we still had openings for attending authors and to contact them. We weren't even charging authors to participate. Scammers take the fun out of our ventures. I'm also grateful that AI helps us identify potential scammers so we don't waste our time or money!

We trust our instincts (or at least I do) more as we age. Thanks for reading George. Appreciate your support
