I did not. I'm pretty sure I'd delete it quickly.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

The wording in the scam looks a lot like it was generated by someone who doesn't speak English as their primary language.  Perhaps a Chinese scam?  I wouldn't touch it.

I see comments for Woodprix on my YT channel all the time. I report every single one.of them. I even see scams about treating kidney stones. I report those as well. Irritating.

Maybe the Chinese are pirating and selling Ted's Woodworking!?    Wouldn't that be funny?

Kidney stone ones are hard to get past.

I will admit that this stuff is annoying.  But is it a scam?

In order to be a "scam" it would have to cheat someone or misrepresent itself.

Does he not deliver on the plans he sells?

I see on line vendors selling photos of the moon taken by the Apollo astronauts. Nothing illegal or scam-worthy about that.

Except you can get the images for free from the government.  You only need to have a vendor print it for you.  The cost for printing images from the government archives is very modest.

So is the vendor entitled to some money for accessing and marketing?  Probably all of these plans are open access, and if you know where to find them you can probably get them for free.

I know about kidney stones first hand.
Only those who have had them will fully understand
