How much was genuine praise?

 How much was it a scam?

Wild Child
My main weakness is accepting praise; I am so insecure, I always wait for the end, and the back stab.
This was no more evident than last year, the extract of Wild Child which I sent to various "promoters," was highly praised, yet, at the back of my mind was the thought it this real, or part of a scam?
Why did I think it was a scam?
In June of last year, I was so desperate for recognition at the end of 15 years of struggling, I allowed myself to be a scam victim. Some of the praises could be genuine, how am I to know?
I was close to calling it a day, being scammed was the final straw, not only did I get scammed, the people who did the scam, sent my email to their friends in Nigeria, I spent weeks of fending of "promoters" who knew less about publishing than I do about the surface of Neptune.
