Simplest is just to assume that any proposition that arrives by unsolicited
email is a scam.

If you really want to pursue it, see if you can verify the name and address
of the sender. Do a Google on that name and on the text of the email.

Hallo, Virginia,

Yes -- there's an easy way. In professional writing money should always
flow to the author, and not from the author. The exception is, of
course, when you're buying editorial or typing services etc.

Any so-called literary agency that requires things such as registration
fees, reading fees etc, is a scam. Print on Demand (POD) is vanity
publishing wearing new sheep's fleece.

Good luck.
