No. I'll report them as junk / spam, so the sender hopefully gets flagged. If you reply to a scammer, you're only letting them know that the recipient is active, which would castes them to add you to an "active" database. Scammers share these active lists of recipients to share in huge scammer groups. Those groups exist on all sorts of messenger platforms. That's another reason why I have "send read receipt" disabled.
Are you more likely to eat rice or potatoes, if both took same exact amount of time and effort to prepare?
