Students & ECRs: If you receive a request for a paper to cover a "shortfall" in an obscure journal and the email is filled with awkward/nonsensical phrases (see below), then it's from a predatory publisher. Both your scholarly reputation & your bank account will suffer if you fulfill their request.
