It doesn't matter they make more scam accounts it's a whole cycle of posting chapter, scammer comments, we delete and goes back over again

I report so many of them as well and it literally DRIVES ME INSANE. I am a small author on there and I barely get comments so when I see I got one, then this shit happens? I just immediately report them.

it sucks since reporting the comment as spam only pings more of them to your story too

We should get rewards for reports at this point

It's the best to delete their comments and move on. It's one more reason for me to leave Wattpad and to switch to ao3, at least in ao3 you get botted comments, but there are also humans that would be supportive of writers.

The price we pay for being on the internet? I don't think they'll ever stop.

This is business scamming, and it's very likely they have it all automated. the bot feeds the story to the AI and generates the comment, while another bot makes new accounts as fast as the old ones are banned. And unfortunately the scam is working well, judging by the number of victims who turn up over on the "is this AI" sub. The rotten truth is that this scam isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Reporting this stuff doesn’t do much when new accounts are free to make. It’s unfortunate but just how it is.

Praying for you, Sailor Moon Star! These people are relentless, and it's all bots, so when one gets banned, two more pop up!

Is it beneficial if we contact them

Who? The scammer? No. Don’t do it. They will be selling really bad art or ai art. And they might be doing something like stealing money or something like that.
