Writers, Pay Attention. Scammers Here Can Look Good

Pay attention to your relationship here. Here’s why and how?

Last week, I received many messages from scammers here. The final straw was a message from a fake writer who asked me to join coach “Richard Stones” and provided Stones’ WhatsApp link and a telephone number.

I reported the message and audited the writers and publications I followed. I continue to receive emails, text messages, and phone calls from the same people.

It’s something new for me. I have been here for more than a year without stupid messages, phone calls, or emails. Why am I getting all these scammed messages?

Why?

At the beginning of the summer, I changed a few things:

  • I joined new publications.
  • I followed more people than I usually do.
  • I had many strange followers and checked some of their profiles. And after checking the profiles, most of them would unfollow me.

Reread the above.

Can you see all the things I did were under my control? Yea, lesson learned — such is life. We can learn from everything and everyone.
