Scammers alert on Medium! Be careful….screenshot is attached!

There are lots of platforms with lots of scammers and they want your personal information to scam you!

I noticed a scammer a second time on this platform. These people make an account with other writers’ names who actually have over 10k+ followers or are very famous and then reply to comments under their articles and tell people to contact them on WhatsApp or Telegram.

I don’t get it, why do they do this but probably because they want to scam people.

I just commented to one of the writers, “Asad Educate” and got a reply a few days later with his name but not his real account. Here is the screenshot:

Now, one must think “Oh this is the author” but check their profile before believing them, here you go:

Look! How important it is not to believe everything right away!

This isn’t the first time happened to me but this is the second time. Before this, it happened in the comments of an article by “Zulie Rane” who is my favorite writer.

At that time a person with a fake account by the name of “Zulie Rane” asked me to message them on a WhatsApp number.

This doesn’t stop here, because after some time the person who replied to my comment by the name of “Asad Educate” deleted his account. Which is funny, though!

I mean, if that scammer wanted to delete the account anyway then why the heck was he trying to scam? Lol! I don’t get these people.

Has this ever happened to you? Let me know in the comments, I would to hear a response. Oh, wait, leave with 50 claps, please, as it helps with the algorithm.

Edit: Right after a few days of writing this piece, I got another reply. This time I was checking the notifications on my phone:

If you wonder about the profile:

Bro! Why does this keep happening to me over and over again? Lol! I should get used to them now.
