Is the researchgate member "Budee U Zaman" a scammer or a bot?

05 January 2024 1 4K Report

Dear colleagues and members,

the researchgate member Budee U Zaman (researchgate.net) copied one of my preprints one-to-one and passed it off as his own work. He only slightly changed the title. His other uploads, many of which he uploads in a short period of time, also give this impression. Is anyone else affected by this scammer besides me? ResearchGate itself does not want to do anything about it.

Kind regards

Mike Winkler, Ph.D.

It might be indeed difficult to issue a punishment to someone like Badee U Zaman in researchgate due to the fact that researchgate does not seem to have a committee that deals with scams/ thieves. Please be strong and report in other platforms as well. It is puzzling that someone would do such
