Question about email referencing Goodreads
I got an email today saying i got a message from Goodreads which was from person (his name included) mentioning that I liked a certain type of book occasionally. He mentioned one of his books with a link to go to in which if I enter the specified "promo code" I could get a free copy. Amazon lists the book with the person name.
I assume this is a scam (clickbait) as when I checked my goodreads it does not show that I received a message. I of course have not clicked on the link nor did my email account download images. Just thought I would mention this. I do not recall that Goodreads exposes your email address (nor does mobileread?) so unsure how I got on this one. |

I get those types of emails a lot, but they usually say I've read a book and posted an Amazon review. I think Amazon exposes our emails if you review stuff.

I received the same email several days ago and just sent it to the recycle because it looked like a scam.
