IMPOSTER REPRESENTING AMY'S BOOKSHELF REVIEWS
There is someone posing as Amy's Bookshelf Reviews, and Literary Consultant. Watch the video at the top of the home page. My emails will have a watermark either in the body and/or in the signature of my emails that I send. My logos and graphics also have a mark I created.
When receiving emails you think are from me, check the actual email address carefully. I received one today on my other email address I use for my consulting business, trying to recruit my book, posting as Amy's Bookshelf Reviews & Podcast.
