RE: Not just painting. I love it! 😍

I actually did some and I disagree. It is possible that you evaluate the circumstance too hastily, but feel free to contact me directly on steem.chat, as Gandalf to discuss it.

Sort:  

This was prompted because @daio messages me on the chat, asking for advise/promoting herself. And because I wasn't familiar with her, I checked out a few new posts and a few of the oldest ones, and this profile looked like scam for sure. And the way she approached me, on DM, and apparently other people too, without having any contact on Steemit before, raised some red flags. @jeffjagoe happened to be next to me when I read the chat message, so we looked into it. I'm glad that this wasn't a case of stolen identity, like a lot of pretty girl accounts in here are.

Thank you for your awareness :-) I agree, the case was very confusing and troublesome and has its roots in times where some guys was re-selling accounts for those people from Russia/Ukraine who wasn't able to create an account through Steemit, and that created a lot of mess (especially that some of those accounts were used/shared before sold, etc.)

Definitely what was the most confusing was that someone else used the account before and then it changed very drastically. I've become super careful with who I upvote, because there have been a few cases where I hyped a legit looking user, which then upon further investigation, turned out to be stolen pictures from an instagram model.

@eveuncovered Really!? I wrote to you all once!for all time using Steemit!

My point exactly. I don't know you.
