Another scam – on the day I received an invitation from the same scammers!
Thanks for this. I have to admit, I have lost count of the number of fraudsters/scammers writing to me, connecting via email or my website, with AI generated slop designed to flatter. The big hints for me always are, as you say, people writing such as ‘Robert’ – in my case robert.vane01@gmail.com – where they … Continue reading
