@inkscape @Krita @Blender We have seen by the past a bunch of similar emails, yes. Not necessarily exactly the same as you describe, and possibly not by the same people (or maybe yes), but similar enough patterns at least.

I do remember having received emails specifically targetted at creators using GIMP for instance (I can't recall exactly what they were trying to pull).

Unfortunately it's hard to warn people about scams since we don't have (nor want) lists of people ourselves!
