Ask them to send you a cheque...

@pluralistic hahaha, that won't work on us self-published authors!

@pluralistic I would have fallen for the scam because I just don't think of these bad to do things
@pluralistic It always strikes me how creative these scammers can be in figuring out novel strategies, yet so stupid when it comes to executing these ideas.
@pluralistic tell him/it to put the cash in an envelope an send it to <charity of your choice>.
@pluralistic ah yes, the prestigious Locus Publications
@pluralistic …on LinkedIn, posing as a recruiter to entrap job-seekers whose lives are already painfully precarious …
@pluralistic Is there an authors group this can be forwarded to.
