SCAM EMAIL: A Sleeping Beauty - FAKE Kate Walsh pretending to be Senior Commissioning Editor Pan Macmillan

THIS WAS TRIGGERED BY OUR CYBERSECURITY SOFTWARE WHICH AUTO REPORTS ANY COLD EMAILS FROM GMAIL USERS. BUT WE HAD A BLAST LETTING KATE KNOW SHE'S BEING IMPERSONATED AS WELL AS CONTACTING PAM MACMILLAN OF THE SCAM.

Hello Neal and Amy,

I hope you're both doing well. My name is Kate Walsh, and I'm a Senior Commissioning Editor at Pan Macmillan.

I recently came across A Sleeping Beauty and was drawn to its deeply personal and reflective approach to storytelling. Rather than simply reimagining a familiar fairy tale, the novel appears to explore the enduring nature of love through a narrative shaped by memory, emotion, and lived experience.

What particularly caught my attention was your intention to tell a fictional story rooted in emotional truth. That balance between heartfelt authenticity and imaginative storytelling gives the work a distinctive voice and suggests a novel that is driven as much by character and feeling as it is by plot.

I'd be interested to learn more about your creative collaboration and whether you're currently developing any further fiction projects. If you're represented by a literary agent, I'd be happy to continue the conversation through them. If not, I'd be delighted to discuss your work directly.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Kate Walsh
Senior Commissioning Editor

SCAM EMAIL: "Emmy Noah" Invitation to Feature My Voice-Over Journey in the 2026–2027 Reading Challenge

 Hi  

i hope you're doing well. I just wanted to follow up on my previous message regarding your book.

I completely understand how busy schedules can get, but I remained genuinely interested in discussing the project and exploring ways it could reach even more readers.

Whenever you have a moment, I'd be happy to continue the conversation and hear your thoughts.

Best regards,
Amelia

SCAM EMAIL: Calling now the author

 SHE'S SUCH AN IDIOT SHE ACTUALLY REPLIED TO THE ABUSE REPORT!!! 

I hope you are doing well.

I wanted to follow up on our previous conversation about promoting your book. I understand that publishing and marketing decisions take time, so I thought I would check in and see if you have had a chance to consider moving forward.

A successful book deserves more than publication. It deserves a promotion strategy that helps it reach the right audience and maintain visibility in a competitive market. My approach focuses on targeted promotion, expanding reader reach, increasing discoverability, strengthening your online presence, and creating lasting awareness for your book.

If you are ready to move forward or have any questions about the promotion process, I would be happy to help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Amelia O Grace

SCAM EMAIL: Faith and Tech Bytes with Amy Lynn, your current website.. Guillermo Carone

THIS GUY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT MY WEBSITE WHICH IS 100% CODED IN NOTEPAD. I RUN A TECH PODCAST WHICH HE REFERENCES, AND A GEEK ONE THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK UP. 

I woke up this morning to this complimenting my “Faith and Tech” podcast, then immediately insulting my intelligence and my website design, and expecting me to hire them. In what world is this considered professional? Because where I live, we don’t treat people like they’re incompetent. If you want to work with someone, you start with respect, not assumptions, not insults, and not condescension. “I didn't see if it was created with WordPress.” My websites are done in Notepad. Not a builder, not a template, BY HAND. For those who don’t know what that means, it’s like picking up a blank sheet of paper and writing a letter in calligraphy. That’s what I do. A beautifully crafted letter, handwritten. Then someone comes up to you and says, “Looks like ship, hire me.” How would you feel after spending MONTHS on that letter? This happens monthly, the insults, the sales tactic, the abuse. It’s always the same pattern: people who don’t bother to look, don’t bother to check, don’t bother to respect the work, but still expect to be hired. And in my inbox, it has only ever come from men. Not once, ever, has a woman emailed me like this. That’s my lived pattern, and it says something.

Hi, nice work on your podcast 🙂 61+ episodes actually puts you in the top 1 % of podcasters worldwide.

I noticed that your website runs on a general website builder . That’s a great start, but there is room for improvement considering the specific needs of a podcast.

Did you know that you could have a podcast website created specifically to help increase your audience, something that works automatically and ranks on Google, Bing, ChatGPT and others for hundreds of search queries?

We can even integrate with your current website, so there’s no need to replace it.

Let me know if that sounds interesting and I'd be happy to send over a few examples.

Best regards,
