🚨 Scam alert: Received a lovely email from writer @alexshaw.bsky.social praising "The Planet Factory". I replied—friendly chat, no red flags… … until I got the exact same message, word-for-word, from author Daniel Palmer. Pretty sure neither Shaw nor Palmer are behind this pen! Might be this scam:

Just to confirm, this was not me. I’ve also had reports from LinkedIn and Instagram of scammers impersonating me. Impersonation was once considered a form of flattery, this however is not. Please note, I’m not in the habit of emailing authors whom I do not personally know. @thecwa.bsky.social
