Everyday, scammers find creative ways to get people's accounts be it email, social media, etc. Sucks that they use the concerned person tactic a lot and even more sad that people fall for the concern. I agree. Type the address on your own. Safer that way. Kudos for the heads up. Now that is real concern.

Exactly. It is their job.
I'm in a freelance FB group for my country and I read there once that one freelancer has this friend who works for a company that asks them to collect a quota of emails and personal information per day. I think the range was 100-500. So what those people in there do is place a fake job listing in platforms like Upwork and tell people to send their complete and modified CV. After they gather enough from the fake job listing, the job disappears suddenly :|
Wow!
