Be aware! A group of spammers is milking Hive rewards!
The milking of Hive rewards is not new, but recently I've noticed a large wave of accounts spamming the different micro blogging platforms to milk rewards that I wanted you to be aware of!
(screenshot by @wildwhispore)
There are a lot of different account and most of them are positive about Hive as an investment. They also create blogs about INLEO and SPLINTERLANDS.
Here is a list of authors and titles:
And here are some of the accounts:
utilone20.leo
inleoface
hummerqueen
yuyuhutiin67
georgiapink
cr4zcr4zky
chicpunki
bazilam
The accounts aren't new, all have a Reputation around 50 and seem to mention INLEO.
What they do
Spam Snaps and threads and sometimes create blogs too.
They post about things we like to hear; Positive things about Hive.
Collecting rewards
With the blogs they try to collect upvotes from @leo.voter and @splinterlands and on the microblogging platform they aim for commentrewarder.
A large part is forward to a central account (uyubuzz5) and withdraw to exchange (Orinoco)
I've informed the different teams of this abuse and also Hivewatchers.
What can we do?
Be careful about what you upvote and comment on. Commentrewarder rewards are based on interaction. Downvote the accounts where possible.
Report abuse: https://hivewatchers.io/report-abuse
Keep an eye on these accounts and downvote their posts when they have rewards.

If you have any additions; for instance more accounts that are spamming or maybe solutions on how to tackle this, please share them in the comments
'Those rewards are their's, and they are free do with them as they please.'
OG Hive Curators(with votes large enough to harm the platform)
Smdh, it's no wonder 10 years of curation failure continues to be the status quo.
They aren't actually theirs yet. They are after 7 days. But I get your point. Curation can be done better!
There's a lot of very generic posts on the microblogs. If peakd can blacklist them then they will get nothing from CommentRewarder.
Peakd team is informed.
But they also make normal blogs, so we all have to keep an eye on them and don't upvote or interact.
Whack-a-mole
Neverending... Any new abuse vector on Hive, abusers/scammers are always right on it.
in leo gives away free accounts and that atracts scum , no surprise there .
Thank for sharing đđ

The one thing that 'surprises' me is that most of these accounts have 50 or more in rep... though exist often not even a year with very few interactions/posts!?!
F.E.:
So i guess the rep-score doesn't mean shit anymore...
It never really did...
Really an eye opener. Thank you for uncovering this and bringing it to our notice
