Thank you for this information OP, this will bring awareness not only for newbies but the rest of the members in the forum. Although this kind of scam might not be new for some here, but majority still aren’t aware about this, so it’s best to keep reminding everyone to stay out of PMs or DMs from an unknown sender.

Scammers will always upgrade their tricks and strategies, and for that we should keep an edge over them. We should be smarter than them, so we won’t end up blaming ourselves because we easily fall on their traps.
