More Twitter Spam Aimed at Writers

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Thursday, December 9, 2010


They're back! Faster than you can block them, apparently.

Yes, I'm talking about the writing jobs spammers. I just blocked about ten twenty accounts a few minutes ago. The latest spam notes they're hiring bloggers. Don't bother to click just block and report for spam.

Who are they? The spam refers to a site called Real Writing Jobs dot com. (Why yes, I'm not linking.) Writer Beware has a good article on these folks.

It should go without saying that Yog's Law applies - in spades. Do NOT pay for leads on freelance writing gigs - especially when there are sites that offer them for free. Check the Writer Beware link above.

Be careful out there.
