RE: Someone pretending to be me on Steemit

in #blog3 years ago

Oh, for some reason I thought you've been on this chain in forever, didn't realize you joined soon after Hive was created. Good timing :)

Yeah, that chain is pretty much abandoned, I bet there are a lot of Hive copies on there.

Hey! Haha I also feel like I am with Hive since forever, I joined exactly when Hive was born lol. I never was part of Steem and I am so glad for that. I saw that this fake account is successful there, collecting rewards and comments. They do not speak good english in the comments, I so would wish I would be a hacker now and track that IP and see from where is this scammer having fun. No matter if they are a poor student wanting to pay college or feed their family, it is still wrong to steal content and get money for it.

I logged in to have a look at this fake account...Looks like quite a few posting here on Hive are engaging with this scammer in the comments over there. Interesting.

Oh yes G., they are prolific. Quite a few is an understatement, they have been doing this for a year. If you look in the comments his or her english are not very good....I am amazed that people interact with this account...I can only hope it gets closed as they are collecting some good rewards...

Probably won't get closed.

Bad karma for whoever is behind this

Maybe, I prefer to administer a more direct and hand-on method of retribution, but that's just me. I guess in this case impossible as no one will even know who that user is.

If it would be in my power to delete their account I would. But as you have said there is little we can do
