I want to alert our community to a growing wave of phishing scams affecting book lovers and Goodreads members. Scammers are impersonating group admins, authors, and active members — including fake messages that appear to come from me (Vincent Lowry) — often offering gift cards or other “free” incentives. These emails and messages are not from me or any legitimate member of our groups. This is part of a larger problem where fraudsters use AI tools to create convincing impersonations to steal personal information or login credentials.
Please stay vigilant: ignore and delete any unsolicited emails or messages offering gift cards, prizes, or asking for personal details. Never click links in suspicious messages. I will only share important updates inside the Goodreads groups themselves or through clearly verified channels that I announce here. If you receive anything questionable, report it to Goodreads and your email provider. Let’s keep our community safe and focused on what we love — great books and genuine discussions!
