The article and quiz talk specifically about these types of vectors for scams. If i assume they are all scams there is a zero % chance i get scanned in this way. Even on the two not a scams they talked about better alternatives to ensure their authenticity which i would have done as soon as i saw any of these “scams” its just a poorly written article that just assumes any wrong answers mean you are more likely to be scammed. I understand there is no way to 100% avoid being scams especially if you just out in the world but the answer from the article is dumb.
Edit: also the censored info made it impossible to tell if it was real.
I actually did search the second one to confirm it’s real, and the first is from a domain I know. I’ve gotten messages like the first, if I assumed they were all scams that would probably backfire.
I understand there is no way to 100% avoid being scams
That’s probably the point of this. If you ace it, it calls you paranoid and then tells you you can still get scammed.
