So again, if someone contacts you out of the blue and suggests you reach out to a literary agent, check the email address they give you against what's on the agent's website. The only valid email domain for me is abliterary.com.

Someone bought the domain anniebomke.com and is using it to catfish authors. I was able to look up the owner of this domain, and they are based in Turkey. Brian Cook appears to be a real person, who is another victim of this catfish.

Anyways, if you get an email from a stranger telling you to contact an agent about your book (whether it's me or another agent), check the agent's website to confirm this is the right address. Email the agent at the address on their website to determine the legitimacy of the message.
