Could it really be true? Had Anne Tyler actually read my debut novel and my published short stories? Was she really a fan?
The same exact scam happened to me in December 2024 with someone impersonating Freida McFadden!
She even gave me a fake blurb, which luckily didn’t end up in my book.
All this to become my publicist and advertise my book on FB, Instagram, TikTok.
I suspected scam and emailed Freida’s agent with a picture of the X site and she confirmed It was an imposter.
I confronted the scammers ( 2 people probably from Nigeria) and they apologized and ever requested a 5 star review for the work they were doing!
I felt very angry and embarrassed.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Ah wow! Sorry you went through this. It might be the same scammer!
