Hi Bin,
I wrote this article about what is happening and why scammers are coming up through the woodwork:
How Not to Get Scammed

Wow, Ryan, he responded to one of my articles, and I have had a woman who wrote about her ill daughter-in-law. We then went back and forth with a few correspondences. Then she invited me to the writer's group.
I thought there was no harm since someone named Linda invited me too.
I proceeded to WhatsApp and registered, and she sent me her telephone number, and there she was trying to sell me a membership. It was $50.00 as an initial fee, following a $10.00 weekly fee.
I said, “Sorry, I am here to offer frugal lifestyle classes that work; you should be paying me, not I pay you. LOL!”
Thank you so much for your article. I am glad you are sincere here. If you ever want to know more about me, I am on LinkedIn.
Sincerely,
Julio
