We are surrounded by social engineering scammers in today's society. There needs to be WAY more awareness. We cannot stop this either. It will only get worse with AI.
Is that what happened here? IDK.
But that is how people get scammed these days. People need to stop trusting people. Stop giving people your freaking keys. Stop pretending like everyone is friends and the world is sunshine and rainbows.
There will always be good and bad people on HIVE and we just need to accept that.
Stay safe. I am sorry this happened to you. Thank you for posting it on HIVE so we can have a better paper trail of these things and people can at least know about it.
The other person also has a right to defend themselves. This is HIVE and no one can stop people from making a defense for themselves.
Thank you for putting yourself out there. It is not easy to publicly admit something like this happened. I wish more people would speak up when this stuff happens but I can understand why people don't. It is not an easy thing to do.
Truth is, there will always be good and bad people everywhere. Even in hive, we have honest people, and we have dishonest ones. No one believed that potato king will pull off what he did a few weeks back, but then, life happened.
Actually, I was not scammed. Some business which the onboarder claimed to receive HBD payments end up not knowing what HBD is. Some actually knew what HBD is but they could not directly control their accounts. They asked me to wait for Fokusnow to process my payments when I offered to pay with HBD. Some business were onboarded in distriator without the consent of the business owners.
There are many reviews under most of these businesses that did not know that their business is online.
The major thing I don't seem to understand is that how did these reviewers make payments? I guess only the onboarder can tell us if he wants to.
Yea the Potato King is interesting. Where that story is going who knows man. That whole thing is out of control.
I didn't think you were scammed and you have not done anything to make me think you are a scammer.
I also think the question is, what is the goal with projects like this? Like what does "success" look like? What are the metrics? And how can we prove it is good or bad with numbers? What all needs to be achieved for the project to end?
I think a lot of times those things aren't considered and things usually get weird. But people's results and their intent both matter. We cannot prove intent. Only they know that, but we should be able to prove results. Where are these new Hivians that should exist from using HBD and what do they do? π€·ββ
Like they are doing something with HBD and how is that helping the ecosystem and where is that money going? This is a blockchain, I think these questions can be answered with numbers and not anecdotal stories like people usually provide in these situations.
What will be the end result of your investigation? IDK, too many ideas are flying around for me to be confident on what we get out of this and who all stays mad at who.

Hello everyone I hope you are all good and well today in this post is some of the evidence to prove my case
If you didn't know I've been getting downvoted for a long time on Hive
They have been trying to bully me with downvotes and words but it doesn't affect me I've been online for over 25 years
So I've dealt with people like this before it's nothing new
But what they are doing is bad Very badi joined steemit like everyone else thinking it offers freedom but I must say steemit offered much more freedom than Hive does
Everyone already knows I only post my own original content I have no need to steal anything from anyone
I've been labelled a lot of things on Hive π by the biggest farmers scammers and downvoters
Actions speak louder than any words do especially when them words are coming from a compolsive liars
I will keep updating this post when I get time
