It was a long time that I had not checked the Telegram group of Hive.io and today I visited it just to say hi and see what was going on...
What I saw and found out made me sad and angry at the same time...
Another user was scammed by others that pretended to be on hive and took a great amount from him!
1.5K - and I believe him. Why? Because I checked the info he shared. What I do not yest understand is HOW THE HECK THE SCAMMER CONVINCES THEM!!
Please help me spread the word and let me know what you think would assist in decreasing such cases, especially for what concerns hive.
Now, you may tell me .. but why don't these users check and ask BEFORE making a move / transaction - but only after they are scammed?
Well, I cant answer this. Maybe they believe they will make a good profit and want to keep it to theirselves?
The predators/scammers have made many efforts and I guess have come to specific conclusions about what better works for scamming users. So maybe we can try different things on how we can warn/help new users!
But let me tell you what happened.
I saw this message
This is a screenshot of today, 12th of January on Telegram of Hive.io
I asked the user to come join hive and write about their experience, as it would really help other users when searching and perhaps him too, coz he would gather some $hive from our upvotes
He has not answered me, but there is something else I would like to share
He mentioned this hive user: @uid40618476 >> and if you check the wallet, you will see all transactions and YES, HE IS A SCAMMER!
I will try to find the scammer and talk to him, but in the meantime I would say to send a message to MEXC - you never know!
Let me know your thoughts please thank you!
