I just received an email over the weekend suggesting that an Envato creator is conducting a survey and would like my input. In exchange, this creator would provide me with $30 to use.
Since I can’t attach a screenshot, I will copy and paste the email below. It used to be easy to spot scam emails, however, with grammar assistance from Grammarly, and AI writing letters, resumes, songs, and website code, it’s getting a little more challenging to spot the fake from the real just by reading the text (it’s usually in broken English).
