Identifying ScambotsBe aware that many "AI messages" you receive on Wattpad (like comments or profile posts) are actually scambots.The Signs: They often use overly flowery language ("Dearest Author"), mention "impressive potential," or offer "publishing deals" or "discounted art".The Trick: Don't interact with them. Interacting marks your account as "active," which can lead to even more bot spam.Note: As of May 6, 2024, Wattpad has officially removed the Direct Messaging feature, so most AI interactions now occur in public comment sections or profile walls.
