Protect Your Account: Beware of the Phishing Scammer!
With all that's happening on the blockchain - Hive price plummeting and everyone feeling the pinch, the least we can do is to protect our accounts and wallets from malicious actors who are in the blockchain, trying to steal from people.
Yes, a scammer is currently on the blockchain.
His first account @hive-reward, which he created early this month was probably flagged and blacklisted, so he created a new one - @hive.blog.reward, (the image above) just two days go, and resumed his scam activities.
Just so you know, this user is all over Hive, commenting on Posts, Threads, Waves, Snaps, with messages containing phishing links, and inviting users to claim Hive airdrop.
A screenshot of his comment, tagging me on threads.
Probably you've had him comment on your posts or maybe come across his comments on other user's posts. Just know that it's all scam and he's targeting your wallet. I just hope no user has fallen prey to this false promise of airdrop.
THERE IS NO ONGOING HIVE AIRDROP. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS POSTED BY THIS USER, ELSE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE COMPROMISED, AND YOUR WALLET WILL BE CLEARED.
Now that we've identified this scammer, let's report his malicious activities to maintain community safety, just like I've done.
Share the information with others and warn them to stay safe.
If he ever comments on your posts, ignore and mute the account to prevent further messages. Better still, downvote comments to reduce visibility.
Above all, protect yourself, be cautious of unsolicited messages or comments with unverified links. Finally, verify information before interacting with any links or offers in or outside the blockchain.

God abeg oooo, scammers every where. There's one that keeps telling me how low hive is that I should withdraw all my money. In all post that I made. Thanks for the information, I pray that no one falls for them.
My dear, they're hungry and think here is the place to feed off people.
Yeah, that user is busy spamming on Hive. I do get his messages too.

Thanks for the information once again at least I'm looking out for that username and avoiding him in all possible ways.
You're welcome.

Thanks again, sis.

I am happy that everyone is screaming about this desparados. This particular account has been tagging me up and down looking foe cheap funds.
I have also reported the user several times and hoping that he desists from scamming people.
I havw fallen prey and it is not a beautiful experience.I don't wish that any one of us falls prey to such despicable acts 😢 😕
Thank you for sharing. This is the last message where he tagged me.
His RC is almost drained and reputation close to 0, so he's not gonna get his way around here.
!BBH
Oh, thanks goodness. Happy to hear this.
One just need to be vigilant and seek advice before taking some decisive steps in this space.
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback 😊.
It helps.

You're welcome. It's our duty to keep Hive safe from any unscrupulous activity and scammers..
!INDEED
Thats great 👍
You are indeed doing well.
!HOPE
Thanks for raising the flag here.
I don't think any exprienced accounts fall into this scam but the new accounts can be.
That's said if it happens cause we want to onboard new people to hive then they get scammed and give the bad reputation to hive.
You're welcome. Exactly, new users can easily fall for the scam, but old users, no way - unless the person is also birds of a feather, if you get what I mean. 😂

That's really crazy. How some persons feel they can just scam others of their sweat is what amazes me... Where's there conscience? Someone somewhere working tirelessly to meet ends meet and you are in a corner of your room strategizing on how to reap where you never sowed..... Chai, may God help us and save us from all these evil doers... 🙏...
Let's massively blacklist and report this account.....
Thanks so much for this update....
Some humans have sold their consciences, sacrificing them on the altar of wickedness, and other evil acts. They're ready to do anything just to get money. It's a sad reality!

May God help and deliver us all from the hands of the wicked
I think I have come across tjis person but what I did was just ignore all the messages. You did well by bringing it to light.
You should have because the user is spamming every community, sending messages to users.
!BBH
Unfortunately, I know of at least one person who has been robbed.
What a pity. I hope the user is okay?
!BBH
The robbed user opened a new account.
Yeah. He has multiple accounts.
!BBH
It's good that people are getting aware of them.
Thanks for passing the information.
That's what we all need to do.
You're welcome.
!BBH
I just saw a message from that user as usual. How can it be blocked?
Just ignore him or tap on the 3 dots at the right side of the message, then scroll down to select Mute/Block.
!BBH
Okay thanks
That's the way to go.
!LOLZ
!BBH
They blocked me when I told them to fuck off)))
They're a crazy bunch. 😂 Got a notification from the user that read "ignored".!LOLZ
