The spammer is back. I have received emails from writers who are being targeted by the spammer. The email address they use is bournemouthwritingfestival.info@gmail.com and the name that comes up is Dominic Wong. As you can see, the emails are sophisticated and ask for money. Please do not engage.

SCAM ALERT Someone pretending to be Dominic Wong is asking writers and authors to pay $215USD to be a virtual presenter. We would never ask anyone to pay us to participate in a session and certainly not in US dollars. If you receive any such offer, message or email, it is a scam.
