These fake medium followers are making their time meaningless

To highlight the gravity of this situation, one of my cherished readers who is also a Friend of Medium, Shirley Willett, aged 90, fell prey to a malicious WhatsApp call invitation on my article about Medium Frienship. She believed it was from me and, out of goodwill, shared her email, expressing her inability to use WhatsApp but welcoming communication through email. Unfortunately, her good will inadvertently granted the scammer access to her email account. I hope they don’t scam Shirley.
