Scamming alert! Intruder alert!. It seems someone is planning to rob others during this year's end. How unmannered you are- trying to make someone’s Christmas a bitter experience.
Have you faced a hack before? Did you observe that most times we get hacked out of desperation? That flashy click here and there and it seemed very quick and easy that we became victims unknowingly.
Ok, I have been a victim once. Oh!! Not once, I had to learn from several experiences. Maybe I should get back to my early crypto days. I lost some bucks and well, not just some bucks because it was something tangible to me by then. It happened several times until I decided to learn.
I could remember when I thought a big scam was an opportunity that I had to get some of my friends involved and in the end, it was I that paid the entire deficits. Wheewwww! dani-EL, what were you expecting when you tune in to get rich quick schemes.
When you are not too sure, ask questions; one mistake can become very expensive. The online fraud industry keeps growing as its players learn new skills. I just got a message on my Hive account that there is currently a Hive airdrop (please let me summarize it quickly, don't buy into it, that's a big scam). If you give out your private key, your Hive account is no longer yours.
So it actually went down to input username and private key. This fraudster is mimicking the wallet.hive.blog official site. When it came to input private keys I became a little skeptical. Could this be an official site or a fake. Fortunately I had Hive official site tap and I had to click through to confirm. I could see the clear differences.
I must say I am grateful from the fast and reliable feedback from inleo team from #feedback. I got two reliable replies when I opted to use the Leo thread page.
It's a pity that while others are thinking of the possible ways to bounce Hive back into life, some set of scammers are working on how to frustrate that effort. Newcomers will feel this environment pose threats to assets.
The best way is to always ask questions around. Don't make any personal moves without getting the needed feedback. Don't be carried away by airdrops and whatever be the next added flashy promises.
