Has anyone ever been contacted by OWO

Hey everyone!

I recently got contacted by 'OWO' , saying they would like to invite me on their websites and buy some of my books. This makes me think of Dreame (looks like a similar offer).

I was wondering: has anyone been contacted by them?

I tried to look for them online but hardly saw anything

Thanks

What did their message say?

This:

"OwO platform is an online reading platform, and our company is headquartered in Singapore, and the biggest international editorial team is in Hong Kong. With strong financial resources, we have a sound benefit and promotion system, which can effectively protect every writer's rights.Currently, we are long for excellent works to settle in OwO and you can get unprecedented benefits.

We would like to invite you to take an exclusive work signing with our platform, (then they added 3 of my books with prices they're ready to pay....

If you choose to take your works in the pay-to-read program, you will gain [60%] share. In the future, the OWO platform will supply your works with unique book sale links, and income from this link is 100% for you. About non-exclusive signing, the advance payment will be halved, and other benefits will be decreased.
*Book sale link: This is a unique pattern in the new platform, every writer will have a selling link, and from 60% up to 100% income from this link belongs to the exclusive writer."

Oh yeah, h*ll yes! If they offer to pay you for your work; do it! If they’re asking for your money or wants full copyright of your work, then it is a scam. I say talk to them in emails to see if it real or sketch.

They do offer to pay me for my work and they even sent me a contract sample so I can check it out but I never heard of them before so it would be great to hear from other people before making a decision

This is what I found: https://m.facebook.com/OwONovel/

Idk, up to you if you want to work with a publisher. But be careful reading the fine prints in your contract.

Thank you! I will read carefully the contract and probably ask one of my friends to read it as well (english isn't my first language)
