This is both a reference to my last blog and a message telling you, it is my last blog. Remember that email I received from BBC? Wanting to interview me about my book River Tales? The one I thought was scam?
IT WAS SCAM!
I so wanted it to be real. I was careful, researched the BBC website. The woman who contacted me does work for BBC and she heads the Cultural Frontline radio program. I cautiously wrote back, never committing myself. I did more detailed research and found out that the Cultural Frontline program which was a thing, had shut down three years ago.!

I was glad I had never agreed to being interviewed. Obviously my eyes were clouded with fame and glory because i had failed to notice that although her email address said bbc.uk it was her name bbc.uk@gmail.com. A whole different thing.

Grant watched a program last night on PBS about how AI scams are targeting the elderly. I always thought i was smart enough to not be caught. You know what they say about pride.
However, the mistake i made was in carrying on an email conversation with her and I wonder if that gave these scammers time to dig into my online life.

Last night my friend Bunny emailed me to say she had a suspicious email from me…my name but a different email address. She didn’t open it. Was it a coincidence? Or is there someone out there pretending to be me? Do I need to change my email address?

I am feeling vulnerable and have decided to cut back on social media, stop writing my blog, which is hard as i love writing, and just focus on finishing my third memoir.

I’m going to keep a lower profile. I will miss you… here’s a shout out to one of my loyal readers, Vonda. Happy Birthday Vonda!!!

Thanks all…its been a slice. Love Liz
