Another type of email hassling (or scam?), not asking for payment at this early stage for writing my Wikipedia page for me!, which is going against the rules of the platform:
My name is dah and I work with Wiki-blah, a Wikipedia page creation and management firm. In a quick Google search of your name, I discovered that you do not have a Wikipedia page.
Having a Wikipedia page shows the world that you have made remarkable contributions in your field. Moreover, it catalogues all of your important work in one place, making it easier for the reader to understand your work. Over 73% people searching for an academic on Google visit the academic’s Wikipedia page first and their official university page later. This underscores an important fact: the credibility of Wikipedia surpasses that of your official website. With over 3000 articles declined from Wikipedia everyday, it is not easy to get a Wikipedia page. However, we can make the process very easy for you. We have written Wikipedia pages for over a thousand academics. We can write one for you. For your assurance and safety, we don’t request any upfront payment.
Please send me a message if you would like to find out more about working with us.
And a second one came the day after, in a much more flowery style that omitted any mention of payment:
I trust this message finds you in great health and high spirits.
