More responsibility without a pay increase sounds like a scam to me.

And an amazingly easy scam to avoid, and yet so many people don't...

You assume it means more responsibility and often it does but not always.
For example the promotion might be to "Senior Widget Fixer" rather than just "Widget Fixer", possible it will recognise your experience but day to day not actually make much difference, until pay review or job hunting time. There are cases when it will make sense to take it.

They makes even less sense. If the company recognized you moved into a higher Sr level there's nothing between the recognition and the salary raise except bean counters.
