Hi, I’m writing from Canada. I have been receiving emails from this person and e-address. “Hannah” <info.leedsbookclubuk@gmail.com>
Is this legitimate?
Thanks.
I’m afraid not.
We only have one official email address Leeds book club @ gmail.com
‘Hannah’ appears to be a scammer. I’m so sorry.
Will be updating the blog this week to provide clear route for people to check.
Hello — I’m writing from Minnesota, USA. I recently received an email from the same name at the same address regarding my memoir, The Same Moon. Looks like the IP address is from Nigeria.
Thank you for putting this scam alert on your website!
What about the email address: hannahleedsbooksclub@gmail.com?
I received an email from this address this morning referencing my debut from 14 years ago. Trouble is, the MC’s name mentioned in the email is from an early copy before I changed his name, which is troubling since only critique partners and agents had that original manuscript.
this is also a scammer – or more likely the same scammers using email variants – am so sorry that you’ve had to deal with this. Am horrified that the book clubs is being used inn this way 😦
I was beginning to get scammed by hannah.leedbookclub@gmail.com
am so sorry – will be enabling domain name email addresses so that it’ll be easier for people such as yourself to check if communication is genuine.
