Hello Tessa,

The person that contacted you, using my name and profile picture, is assuredly not the real me. I have never heard of a Medium Writers Union, am not on WhatsApp and never randomly reach out to someone I don't regularly communicate with. I have several imitators, some with slight variations in the spelling of my name. Medium has been notified hundreds of times by others and me. Medium has never responded to me; perhaps they will respond to you. Take care!

The real William Spivey
