I agree that as a new user I can be easily fooled and scammed. I am just curious as to what the scam was? So I can look out for myself. It just wasn't obvious to me nor do I understand how the account was activated in the first place if there was no confirmation through social media accounts.
I have never been asked to confirm anything (admittedly I hardly post).
I am not questioning your actions, just trying to educate myself. Thanks for your time.
