Got kind of a weird phone call this afternoon...

(1/1)

LizW65:
It was a terrible connection and I could barely understand the woman on the other end, but she claimed to be from a company called "Bookwhirl" that does marketing of self-published works, and was offering me her services.  The whole thing sounded a bit fishy to me, and as I said, I could hardly understand a word, so I finally gave up and told the caller to just email me the information.
Anyhoo...I looked the company up on Absolute Write and it turns out they are Asian-based scammers (though they claim to be from Wisconsin) and charge what I consider exorbitant fees to create websites, blog pages, and so on.  Needless to say, I won't be using their "services".  Anyone here heard of this company or been called by them?

Shecky:
Report 'em to the FCC. If you're on the Do Not Call list (which I recommend for EVERYONE - it cut way down on our unwanted calls), file a complaint here:

Or, in addition to the FCC, let P.N. Elrod know and she's tell the entire world about them with a tweet.  I love that woman!
