Wow, one of my PhD students spotted an APC scam. A paper that had been accepted to a journal and went online triggered a scam email that asked for the Article Processing Charges (>$3000) to an email address that used the name of the journal but at gmail.com . I can see how people at a very early stage of publication can fall for it. Be careful #phdchat #openscience #openaccess

I will boost to help raise awareness of this and hopefully safeguard others from falling for this.
Thank you for sharing,
