There is so many scammers on here. I will say a few I noticed and how you can tell that it's a scam.
1. I have noticed that whenever I post a new chapter on my stories, I will get a comment that says "Your story is so amazing and I love how the emotional moments seem like a movie. And I would love to make it a comic." (Not word for word but close) Then they leave their email, discord, and Instagram, but they don't leave them all the time.
That is a scam. How to tell that it is a scam, they are vague. They won't be able to tell you anything about your story which is very unfortunate since I know some people who would be delighted by it. Wattpad also has no control on what happens off of it's app.
2. Lately there has been a scam where they post a message on your message board saying "You need to verify your account" with a link that you shouldn't never click. They pretend to be Wattpad support and try to convince you to verify within 48 hours.
So how to tell this is a scam. Well the 48 hours is a telltale sign. They try to add pressure so you can't think rationally about it. Another thing, if Wattpad needed to verify anything or needed to contact you, they would use your inbox which scammers can't use.
Never click a link from someone you don't trust or seems suspicious. Also never give money to someone who you don't trust or seems suspicious. If they can't tell you anything about your story then don't plan a comic with them.
Those are the scams that I have noticed. Is there any other that anyone else noticed?
