A Scam

Hey guys! So I ran across a scam last night. @PolarBear228 (my personal tech support bc I gever know what tf I’m doing lol) was able to help me identify this scam. I wanted to warn y’all. It you google “A Collection of Short Stories by Victoria Bowman” you’ll get results for my book. However, if you scroll down, you’ll find a twitter post. When clicking on the link they provided, it brings you to a chat forum.

In the forum, someone asks about my book, and someone else supposedly comments a link to a free pdf/epub of my book. This was 2 days before my book even released though. When following the link, it brings you to a new site. But you can’t even get a preview of the website because you need an account. In order to have an account, you have to put a credit card number in. The thing is, this site is supposed to be free.

This is not safe. If a site like that one says it is free but requires a credit card number to register it is not safe. Above that, I was looking at part of the post and this is the exact caption:

Also, the website for the forum does not exist at all whether you type in DWe forums or netroneesevarbes. Neither show up. There will be links and such when you type in DWe forums but it's not the same site. Again, this is a major red flag. Please avoid this site, I don't want anyone falling victim to a scam like this.
