Is this real or not?

Ah i see... that also can be a thing huh...

Thank you so much for your knowledge Mr. Charles.

No problem - might also be worth poking around at https://writerbeware.blog/

I guess i should try dig deeper when i'm on call with them and stay careful.

Always good advice.

Yes, it sounds too good to be true.
But the thing that makes me uncertain is because they paid 8 bucks just to send me this message on patreon.
Basically, i kinda wish this is true, so i just replied them to arrange a meeting call.
While still researching what i need to ask and what i need to negotiate while praying hard they not asking me for money for anything

The fact that he subscribed means that they need you. and he was given a budget for this hunt for you. but don’t forget that this is the price of a cup of coffee) This is India, they have a custom of bargaining, this is their cultural code. Start with 30% so that you have some wiggle room and don't drop below 20%. Why is texting better than calling? Because you can re-read their proposal 10 times and take your time to think. People from international platforms often speak very fast, with thick accents or confusing idioms—you risk misunderstanding half of what they say. Plus, even if you record the call, written emails are much easier to use as legal evidence than audio recordings. Stay safe and keep it in writing.

Ah yes,
I just ask them to continue the correspondence through email so i have time to read and think things through
You're right, its better than having a phone call

Thank you so much

Real or not, be very wary about whether this "offer" immediately drains you of any money. Don't care if they call it an "investment" or something else. That's the number one biggest red flag for all modern authorship scams. If they aren't asking you for money but only a % of commission on something they start, then it might be legit. Check contract paperwork and all that.
