Description

Someone named "Ella Monroe" contacted me with the message below. A tech company exec has the same name as I do, and I sometimes get email intended for her, so I wrote back letting them know they had the wrong email address. She immediately wrote back saying I was the intended recipient. I have ignored the 5+ responses, one of which included an offer to send me a contract and link for payment. The initial message asked for $500 and a subsequent one said $1000. The original message is below. I represent a PR firm, "Pressiqa." We are working on an article, "Top 10 Women Disruptors to Watch in 2025," where you can be featured to strengthen your reputation and build business. This article will go live in the last week of October 2025 in an exclusive magazine, "MSN,” which has 500M+ monthly readers. You'll be featured alongside 9 other esteemed Leaders, and the article will include a 100-word paragraph highlighting your unique journey, advice, and innovations. We are selling each spot for 500 USD. Let me know if you are interested in getting featured, and I'll onboard you. P.S. Just 02 spots are left in this article.
