Trademark extortion scheme alert! 2nd example I've seen of identical email, tho sent out w/ different names/addresses/company names. Goal is to scare writers into responding so they can be pressed to pay big $$$ to "preserve their rights". Needless to say, this is not how trademark or copyright work

Impersonation scam alert! Despite the bogus Gmail address, I'm not sure of the provenance of this one (they also got the agency's name wrong). But I'd guess that multiple other agents'/agencies' identities have been appropriated. If you get something like this, forward it to me: [email protected]

This is likely a scam--lots of warning signs (no meaningful "about" info, no way to submit listings, the cold call itself). The offer of addition to the "catalog" is bait, authors who say "yes" then become targets for sales pressure (such as the "smart bookstubs" touted on the site)
