Hi folks, I have been noticing a rise in spammers being creative in their approach. They start commenting like:
1. "I have been immersed from the first line to the last. Can I get any of your socials to contact you?"
2. "I read your story and loved it. I have come up with an idea related to it. I would like to share it with you!"
I'd rather you not risk it and interact with them, please ignore them and put your socials in your bio (if you want). If they are sincere, they would approach you instead.
There have also been two similar cases of people claiming to be digital artists and trying to get commission of their work from me. I don't know if they are genuine or not because scammers have become quite...smart. Even if they are genuine, I can't even fork out any amount of money to pay for their work anyway *sobs*.
Anyway, this announcement is just for everyone to stay safe out there. Please beware of these spammers and scammers, especially with how AI is progressing, it's getting really out of hand. I know how upsetting it is when you post a chapter, and the comments are just spammers. It's tough out there for any aspiring artists (music, art and writing).
