Unmasking Deception: How a Literary Scam Nearly Fooled Me – A Harrowing Inbox Encounter
One important rule: don’t respond!
If there’s one thing you should absolutely not do, it’s reply to a scammer’s email. Even a quick response confirms that your email address is active, which can make you a bigger target for future attempts. It may also give scammers access to small but useful details, including your email signature, which can be used to craft more convincing phishing messages. Also, scammers share potential victims’ email addresses and personal information with other scammers. That’s why not responding to them in the first place is so important.
