Comment: The hookier one is alt1 but the source does not expressly state why people thought it was a scam. I guess some authors would solicit subscriptions and then never write the book, but Lockwood doesn't say that in his own voice.
Interesting! Sourced and neutral, new enough, eligible for DYK, looks to be free of plagiarism. Hooks are hooky, sourced, good length – I prefer ALT1. People love reading about scams. Good to go! ezlev (
