In this episode, Angela and Brian review emails they have received from authors who lost anywhere from thousands, to tens of thousands of dollars, after signing up with what they thought were legitimate online publishing companies. Unfortunately for many of them, when they realized that these entities were not what they claimed to be, it was too late and the money was gone.
