So I have been getting messages on Substack from men wanting to тАЬconnectтАЭ or тАЬfollowтАЭ? They say they like my posts and want to communicate. So I look at their profile/reads and I see nothing in common but in fact suspicious. I was never on facebook or other social media where everyone followed everyone I guess, but whether these are legit, bots or perves , IтАЩm not going there.
I had a similar experience from a direct message here on Substack. It quickly grew weird and I blocked him/it. Yikes.
Join the club, ma'am - line starts over there. :-)

Don't respond - if you follow back, they can communicate with you.
When it comes to the internet and social media, use the Code Napoleon: guilty until proven innocent.
Thank you Tom. Excellent advice and noted.
