There will always be scammers on Hive & the world wide web. (Also irl, but irl is for noobs)
So with the "latest" news of people getting scammed on Hive via Discord by @seunruth, I decided to make a little guide, might be common sense, might be random jibberish, might help some, who knows.
So its not @seunruth right now on discord. But its @bemybaby here on Hive :) @bemybaby's wallet.
For the love of god or allah or whatever, people. Stop clicking shit you don't know what is.
When it comes to me and my language, it can be quite brutal and offense and its not getting any less bad when dealing with scammers.
A few ground rules I follow:
I NEVER open links from mails or from people I don't know. What I do, is that I go to the website I know is correct and to see if I can do it through that. (I also RARELY open links from people I know, unless I have confirmed its them and not someone pretending to be them x))
I NEVER pick up the phone if I don't know the number. If you want to contact me, leave a msg or text me. I will not be taking my phone. (On a few occasions I have taken the phone and it have been a scammer, if that happens I just fuck with them, if they tell me I have some bitcoin laying around I tell them to keep it because they sounds poor. I have also on occasions told the scammer to go die of cancer)
If Scammers try and do magic for you irl, keep your hands in your pockets, so they dont steal your phone.
Just a handful of small good tips to not get scammed.
But lets jump on to Hive.
NOBODY on Hive will double your money or give you extra for sending them money x)
DON'T login to unverified websites, they can steal your keys - Also, don't give any your keys out to anyone EVER on Hive (Keychain & Hivesigner, is good)
Don't send money to people begging via Discord. I know you want to help and be a good person. But all you do is fund some useless cunts life x)
If you ask questions on Discord, any member of staff will NOT contact you directly and if they do I would be very sceptical and again, DO NOT click any links they provide (99% its a scam)
Also, never click links on Discord in general. Discord once allowed users to change the visible url to something different, making it easier to scam people. But I don't know if this is still true.
Nobody will airdrop you Hive for free....
@karen54 is just the lastest in the chain or scamming people :)
Final words.
Always verify before transfer anything to anyone for any reason x)
There is a lot of scams out there and Ai will only accelerere this x)
^ I wrote that 1 year ago and it seems like it have never been more true xD
