Cruel hoax, oh how you sting.

If you aren't already following Writer Beware, you should be.

Today's horrifying entry is about a writer who was punk'd, hoaxed, tricked into believing she had not only a legitimate agent offer one morning, but a fabulous book deal that afternoon.  Why?  That remains to be seen.

I can only advise you to learn as much about the business as you can.  Follow blogs like the ones I have linked to in the sidebar. Learn what is typical, what is normal, and then it will perhaps be easier to spot that which is impossible.
