One of my giveaways ended late last week and I emailed all of the winners. When I had heard back from all but one of them two days later, I headed over to the remaining winner's blog and posted a comment to let them know that they won and ask them to email me with their info. They did. AND SO DID SOMEONE ELSE.
I got an email from another woman, who had obviously seen the comment I posted and decided that it would be just fine to claim to be the one who won the book. She used the real winner's blog title as her email subject! What nerve! Like I wouldn't know the email address and name of the person who did win. Really, what were the chances that I wouldn't figure this out? It would not have gotten by a bright four year old. Okay, I admit that at first I thought that I had made a mistake, but the truth dawned fairly quickly.
It's just a book, for crying out loud, go and buy it!
Now we have identity thieves in blogland. Unbelievable.
Wait, it gets better. I emailed her and she had the incredible chutzpah to reply! This is what she said: "I think you investigated well. I'll be careful in the future."
Can you believe that? Turns out this person is a follower of the real winner's blog and HAS A BLOG OF HER OWN.
I should totally out her, but I'm too nice. I hope she is ashamed of herself.
So this is a word to the wise. Sadly, there is at least one dishonest blogger out there. Beware.
