My colleagues and I recently published an article. And shortly after the publication, I received the email below. While I haven't done a serious check whether this is a scam, I have the feeling that it is. I have also come across other authors discussing this before. I am sharing this now to notify other researchers that this is still (Nov 2022) happening. Advice to authors or sharing your experience is welcome. Thanks
