Another Possible SCAM Thwarted

 You don't know who to believe

                                      Better safe than Sorry

I am caught in the horns of a dilemma.

One one hand, I could be passing up opportunities to fulfil my dream of being published, not self-published.

On the other hand, I could be saving myself a lot of money by not being the victim of a scam.

One thing is certain, since July when I was contacted by a person going by the name of Lina Cruz AKA Joy Mautin, I have been inundated by people "claiming" to be literary agents. The odds of being spotted once, are almost 3,00 = 1 against, to be spotted each month is almost unheard of, especially for someone like me, who has not sold an eBook in a decade.

Since June, I consider any link from a person I don't know to be a scam. The latest one was from LinkedIn, I have reported the profile.
