The story was repeated many places including the AbsoluteWrite forums, GoodReads (where it received a skeptical reception) and as a comment to Nathan Bransford's blog.
However the blog post reporting this wonderful news has now vanished and a retraction has been posted. The only thing not clear is who was trying to fool who here.
If someone did send her a hoax email as a joke they deserve a very horrible fate.
[July 22 update]: Publishers Lunch reports that: 'Writers House has learned that a series of fake emails claiming to be from WH agent Jodi Reamer have been circulating to self-published authors this week. "These emails, which contain a number of false statements, have not in fact come from Jodi Reamer and should thus be disregarded." One easy "tell": they advise that any e-mail from a non-Writers House address "expressing interest in representation is counterfeit."'
