"Best Research Award" ? wow!! 🧐 I received an email claiming that my recent publication was selected" for a Best Researcher Award from an organization I’ve never heard of "NSI Awards"+ "[email protected]" No real criteria putting a suspicious short URL of course .. This is a scam 🚨🚨🚨🚨 These messages often prey on researchers’ dedication and desire for recognition ⚠️ My advice to fellow researchers, always: 🚫 Never click on unknown links, even if they mention your real publication. ✔ Verify the sender’s identity. ✔ Look up the award or conference independently. ✔ Be skeptical Academic recognition is earned .. not given away like this Have you received similar emails? hashtag#Academic hashtag#Scam hashtag#Phishing hashtag#ResearchCommunity hashtag#CriticalThinking hashtag#AcademicIntegrity hashtag#research hashtag#publication hashtag#email
