2024 - The year of the Scam
Looking back on 2024, I can say it has been one of the worst years, if not the worst year, of my life, both for the family, and myself.
I spent most of the Summer ill from three medical conditions, one was a slight bout of Covid.
From June, when I was scammed into thinking the book on here would be publihsed by a group of promoters on Fiverr, until yesterday, I have not had a week when a lady has tried to scam me in some way.
In July, I was told my book was getting a lot of interest, where I have no idea, the only interest I got was from "promoters" in Nigeria. I realise I could have missed a genuine opportunity for the book to sell, but any contct with Nigeria I consider a scam. Besides, from the small contacts I had with the "promoters. I know more about the world of publishing than they did; I am not surprised, they may have a degree from some University in the far outreaches of the jungle, I have had 15 years trying to be recognised as a writer, I was giving them ideas how to promote.
Since July, I adopted the mindset "Better safe than Sorry."
My hope for 2025
The year is better than 2024, if it isn't, I may not be here to welcome 2026.
