I've been burned by people like this. Part of the problem, I think, is that at the low level, the actual scammers overlap with the genuinely incompetent amateurs, and you want to believe the excuses. This is why I pay people on time, in full, & never overcommit. Never want to be that asshole.

Someone asked if I make any money off the blog. No. I do not monetize the blog. No ads, no sponsorships, no Patreon. I do use Amazon affiliate links, but that's just to offset the cost of the books a little, really, and most months it doesn't pay out anything.
