This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

Yesterday, I received a scam message which asked me to click on the link provided to verify my long unused account. When I saw the message, I chuckled because, first, I used that account every day and the scammer used double "v" to pretend "w" in the link address. I shared that with my friend, and she said she'd also received something similar; the scammer used "nk" to pretend "hk". Those scammers are really silly!

Back to bed!

Yesterday I received a scam message.

That's how I would start it.

I was asked to verify my long-unused account.

By "verify" do you mean you were asked if that really was your account?

I assume you didn't follow their instructions.

By "verify" do you mean you were asked if that really was your account?

Yes. If I click on the link, then I verify it’s my account and it shows that the account is still being used.
