HIVE COPYCAT SCAMMING ON FB ADS ~ #scam

I've grown accustomed to seeing FB ads about Hive on my feed now since Mr. Butterfly started his marketing campaign with Ignite. I saw a comment on a recent post, and it caught my attention, and not the good kind.

This was the comment, supposedly made by the same HIVE account as the OP. It reads as scammy as it can, and the comments by random users are just as scammy. I hope no one really fell for this.

Why would someone running this account want anyone to know an address, unless they wanted someone to send crypto to it? I thought that was odd, so dug deeper...

On closer inspection, it was obvious this was a scam. I've seen this before. Send a certain amount of BTC, and we will give you more back. It's really sad actually that they are playing off of the whole Covid scare while stealing peoples money.

The comments are blatantly scammy, if you've been down this road before.

Clearly they are playing on peoples emotions. It's easy to do so when you understand manipulation and playing off of peoples fears. Governments have been doing it for centuries with great success, this model is nothing new.

This is the OP's FB page, obviously legit:

994 people like it, including a mutual FB friend, and they have a solid back history of content and such.

Compared to the commenter, with the same pic and everything as the OP:

ZERO people like the page, and it has one post, the one you can see in the screen shot in all its history.

Quite the clever little scam they've got going here. Hopefully the admins running the FB ads catch on and put a stop to it before any sad sap loses a chunk of BTC.

ALWAYS CHECK OUT WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH ONLINE, & IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE....IT PROBABLY IS.

Fair warning for everyone. Watch out for scams, ya never know how they might try to get ya.
