I was able to tell her straight away it was a scam publisher (since it was one with a big bad reputation). Unfortunately we were unable to convince her friend she'd been scammed. She was too excited and didn't want her bubble burst. If she'd only googled the publisher she would have seen straight away it was a vanity press posing as a traditional publisher. Writers need to be aware of these companies. This post is a great reminder.

Knowledge is the best defense a writer has against people like this.<br /><br /><i>I don't want to get messages like this, then hear the company involved and feel a cold knot in my stomach because I know that elation is going to be short-lived.</i><br /><br />I wouldn't even know what to say if someone messaged me and this were the case.
