NFRQ: Have any of you received an E-mail from Debbie 'BBQ' Beaston (m)

asking for recipes to be sent to her and she will put them in a book with your name as contributor? This sounds like someone who wants to publish a cookbook for profit, but at the expense of anyone who sends her a recipe. Sounds like a scam to me. Could be for other fraudulant reasons too.

 
Hi Misplaced, I make it a habit never to answer unsolicited e-mails from unfamiliar people, in fact

I don't usually even open them, just delete.

Too much weird stuff in e-mail to take a chance on an unknown sender.

 
With the internet, anyone can look legit and pro so I tend to be even more skeptical...

these days. Besides, I am hoarding everything for my family cookbook that I am going to do one of these days. That and my idea of 'reinventing' home ec for the modern times!

 
I just wondered if anyone else had received this. There was nothing to (m)

"open up", it was just there when I went to my e-mail. I never answer to anything or anyone I do not know.

 
here's where the illegit comes in...

how much did she offer to pay you per recipe?

 
I was asked to send recipes for a canning cookbook back at the old Gail's

and I received nothing monetary except a copy of the cookbook and my name credited to the recipes. That was fine with me.

 
Debbie Beaston here!

Hey Misplaced,

If you received an email from me asking for recipes, it's because you signed up as a subscriber to my BBQ newsletters.

Here is the site you signed up to:

www.#1topsecret-bqq-sauce-recipe.com

Yes, I am doing an e-cookbook and I have asked my subscribers if they would like to have their recipe published (using their name) in the book. In return, anyone submitting a recipe gets a free e-book when it's finished, even if I don't use their recipe.

This is not a scam and if you'd like to to have a recipe published in your name please send it to: debbie@1topsecret-bqq-sauce-recipe.com

Cheers,
Debbie "BBQ" Beaston
