Please all, beware of this scam. They are one and the same with exactly the same wording on each website.
Their attention was drawn to me by someone who messaged me on my Facebook page. He'd seen one of my books reviewed on there and asked me if they were legitimate. I sent them a message probably via their online form and also to ask how they had one of my books reviewed on their site.
Next thing, I'm getting a few emails asking me if I want my book reviewed from dodgy email addresses. Bit annoyed because that email address doesn't get much spam. No matter, it's done now.
But then the message to me on FB disappeared. Luckily, I remembered the name of the person. I saw the book he'd mentioned in his message to me and as his page was public on FB I tagged him about it. Thing is, that thread was dated 2019. I sent him a PM but he's not 'seen' it or is pretending not to have. Either that or he's been the victim of a hack. I've no way of finding out although I did report his message to FB.
I've no idea how to get the bogus book review removed or where it came from - the review itself did ring a bell and maybe have come from a book blogger.
Anyway, just thought I'd warn others as there's nothing much on the web, except this thread on Goodreads which a Google search led me to:
