Experience with scammers

Scamming is not something new at the present time. Scams existed in the past and they still exist at the present time, but the way of scamming changed with time. In the past time, scammers came to us with schemes which are known as Ponzi schemes. But at the present time people are very active in online our social media and these scammers are now available on social media. In the past they needed at least a face to come up with schemes but now because of social media they can do that without even revealing anyone's identity.

My experience related to scammers is somehow interesting. I was very serious about my security, and I don't let down my guard easily when it comes to security system. But it does not mean that I never dealt with scammers. Let me start with the story of Hive as I am writing on this platform. Maybe 1 year ago I was facing some kind of difficulties with my IP account and that's why I asked about the tech support in a discord channel, and someone shared the link of the tech support channel. Is only that I always stay alert, but I don't know why that day I became careless. Rather than going to the tech support channel manually I used the link one user gave me there.

In the tax support the questions were quite simple and later they asked to fill in a form. In that form their requirement of give seed phrase or private keys. I asked why the private keys were required and asked if seed phase would work or not? Seed phase would work and that's why I used my seed phase of zero balance accounts. I don't use my original account casually and there was no reason for me to share it. I don't know what happened to me at the time, but I gave them irrelevant data in form. My form was not submitting and one time I even tried using my posting key. I was just trying to figure out if I could submit the form using the posting key, it didn't work. Later they asked for active key and with that I came back to my senses instantly.

Realizing that I locked all of my Hive assets at first. So that no one could transfer my assets. I know I didn't share active key but still I done that thinking if I have shared it accidentally. Later I generated my new password for my hive account. Because of my usual habit I could protect my account that, but I don't know why I became so reckless and made such a silly mistake.

Aside from that I don't think I have any bad experience with scammers. In fact, I love to play with scammers sometimes. I give reply to the scammers in my boring time. I just pretend I don't know anything and I keep playing with them and try to make them fool. It was always funny to me when I chatted with a scammer. I try to give them the feeling they are very close to scamming me but at last I just say no to act smart. Most of them leave the chat blocking me. It's Indeed felt good when I seem scammers leaving the chat blocking me. I believe that as long as we don't make any foolishness there is no way to scam us.
