So now I had a new one, for Verizon.

I didn't even click anything except Publish. That's it. I published a new rant chapter and it published, loaded, then suddenly it loaded to a new link that was an obvious scam and I backed out immodestly. I freaked out and didn't get a screenshot, 

It may have looked like one of these

Not 100% sure though.

On my MB, someone said it was also opening up Chat GPT even when they've never used it.

This crap is happening more frequently and Wattpad really needs to address it since it really seems to be stemming from here.

If it's happened to you, do tell me, or make your own book about it. Spread the awareness, as well.
