Even though I've been a member of the discord channel for a while, I believe this is my first time writing in this community. I came across a topic by @inuke requesting us to participate in a writing contest in which we were asked to share our experiences with scammers. I believe I have encountered many of them, so let me describe two instances where one occurred to me and the other to my spouse.
MY EXPERIENCE
As I was wanting to genuinely establish a strong business idea for myself, I once joined a WhatsApp group to get a lot of contact and views on my whatsapp status. I did this since I required contact in order to do this, which is why I joined that WhatsApp group.
When I started promoting my products on Whatsapp, I actually had a ton of viewers, so that must imply I actually got what I wanted, right? Also, I had a ton of contacts connected to my Whatsapp group. My fault here was that I began reading other people's Whatsapp status, some of which were surprisingly entertaining while others were informative, etc.
I found a contact who claimed to be running a giveaway, and as soon as I saw that, all of my senses were alerted to the giveaway. I sent the contact a direct message, and when I got his reply, he claimed to be involved in some sort of money-doubling scheme. I suppose my greed led to this scam. After our conversation, he requested that I send a certain amount of money, which I did.The funniest part was that I wasn't scared before I sent the money; instead, it was only after that I realized what I had just done. It seemed like a spell had been cast against me, and it was only then that I realized what I had done.
The fact that I was scammed was actually my fault because I was greedy. After I sent the money, he went offline and would not answer my calls. After what seemed like an hour, he sent me a message saying that the package I had ordered had expired and that I should send another payment. I was shocked and asked him to send back the money I had sent, but he said it was not refundable. I just accepted my fate and deleted all of the contact information I had obtained from this massive gain whatapp group I also blocked the guy's phone number, and I've never been a victim since.
MY HUSBAND'S EXPERIENCE
There is a new cryptocurrency called "core" that recently launched, and we have been receiving updates on how to buy and hold it. Although he had opened an account two years prior, he didn't take cryptocurrency mining seriously, so when the coin launched with the news that its price would rise, everyone has been trying to buy at a low price and Hodl, so he was in a group where all these cryptocurrency updates were shared,Someone announced that they wanted to sell their core, and after a dispute over who would offer their assets or money first, hubby fell for the person's sweet words (it's uncertain whether they were a girl or a guy). After sending the money to the person's account, the person refused to send the coin to his Metamask wallet, which is how he lost 8000 naira. He was depressed since he had never encountered such a thing and because the country's happenings had left him with very little money.
Everything that seems too good to be true should not be engaged in or entered into since fraudsters have no compassion and can even con a child out of his candy.

I used to talk to scammers sometimes just for fun purposes and I try to act like a fool. I share all the details whatever they want even the seed words but the most important thing is I provide all information wrong.
By the way, stay alert always. There is scammer everywhere.
Scamming is not the way to go, and AI plagiarism is scamming the Hive community and its curators. It has come to my attention that your post is 97.38% AI, and there is no reason for you not to handle consequences for that, as all Hive users know, that there are consequences if you break the tacit rules of Hive, and plagiarism is the biggest of them all... Please be advised that a flag is coming your way hitting your post soon.
I'm sending you a flag as a warning that you are being watched and may be headed straight to the @spaminator list, and knowing them they will not give you a pass, and you will not collect any rewards for this post that a robot took one second to write up. The best thing to do is to stop what you are doing right now because I'm telling you the route you are taking is leading to nowhere, it is best to avoid it and not scam hive again with "fake" AI generated content.
@hive.defender I would suggest using other checks for AI as well as whatever you are using now, as she does spend a lot of time writing her OWN material, but checking with Grammarly or anything other tool is perfectly acceptable as long as it's not being rewritten, and I am speaking FOR THE COMMUNITY, that you have made a massive mistake by claiming this is 97.38% written by AI.
This is a warning to use other materials and weigh carefully how you are judging others' posts.
You are wrong in this particular case.
I'm sure Grammarly won't test positive as I've already done some tests, also several other tools are in the clear. These tools that detect AI content only search for patterns that are proper for AI and how likely the content is to fall into those parameters.
Wordtune might give a positive result, as I have not tested it so far to see if it does, https://www.wordtune.com/ua/ai-writing, but the webpage does say that wordtune uses AI to change its content to look and be more AI, admitting using it is to trick yourself into thinking you are in the clear, but it is still AI doing it.
This AI detector is from open AI itself, so it is quite hard to say it is a false positive, they are the creators of ChatGPT, and use their own database to determine if something is, or it's not AI content.
good morning from this side,
i wrote my content, sir, I just used my word tune to change my grammar; i didnt know that was also an offense.
This post was written by me, I just edited it, with a word tune, to cross out my error, i think i need more knowledge on this.
For your sake, please don't rely heavily on Wordtune as it is an AI assistant, whatever content it changes will throw a strong positive that even @hivewatchers would look at twice, so to be safe use Grammarly and stick to that one if you can. If it's just spelling and grammar I don't see what the problem would be with that. If you do insist on using Wordtune then it would probably behoove you to double-check the output with the AI GPT detectors to make sure the article doesn't throw such a strong positive and attract our attention again.
This is an event that happened to me sometime last month, and my husband's happened last week, and I decided to share it here, the only thing I did was I used grammar correcting tools to smoothen my words, that is the only thing I did here.
I spent three hours on this post. so it's kinda strange when I got this notification saying I am spamming hive, whatever I write here, I take my time to write and edit it. @hive.defender
Please take my advice, use Grammarly or other tools, as word tune is positive for AI and will get you in trouble with Hivewatcher and others.
