    Hello,
    My new asset got published recently. Then I received an email from a person called "Murakami Haruki" and he asked for a voucher code. He said he will offer feedback on his experience using the asset. But he didn't.
    His email address is : steamcommunitymurakamiharuki[at]gmail[dot]com
    He will most probably try this trick on other new published assets as well.
    So, be aware of him.
    [UPDATE]
    Please check my latest post as he finally did give me the feedback: https://forum.unity.com/threads/possible-voucher-scam.1431616/#post-9060619

    I mean, I would be honoured to be scammed by one of my favourite Japanese novelists.

    I am glad I found this. I just got the same email today, asking for voucher and was wondering if it isn't some scam.

    Thank you for making this thread, you saved me a voucher. :)

    I should inform @vincurekf and the others that surprisingly he did give me the feedback after more than 30 days. Here is his Unity profile: https://assetstore.unity.com/users/7971980921329
    As I didn't hear back from him for such a long time and considering his name and the structure of his mail, I got to believe that he is a scammer.
    It's up to you whether to trust him or not.
