I'm not famous enough to have gotten one of these - yet - but apparently some crooks have taken to impersonating editors from The Atlantic and soliciting articles. They're then sending out fake advances or taking other measures to get bank account details. (And yes, they're using the names of the editors).
This kind of thing isn't uncommon, but they're usually more subtle than this.
If you get an out of the blue offer to write something, verify it. Just in case.
