Fighting Plagiarism And Abused In Steem: A Case Study Of @elseyyid
10PC To Campusconnect
GOOD MORNING DEAR STEEMIANS!
I've been a plagiarism MOD in this noble community for some months now, I used to scan and check on content originality before I leave a comment on a post. Last week was no different, I've checked many posts and today I want to report on a user by username @elseyyid.
@elseyyid used to post in different communities like campusconnect, steemtravellers, account boosters, beauty and creativity, steem schools, and stock photos.
I learned from one of his introductory posts in different communities that his real name is Abduazeez Abdurahman, he's from Nigeria, in his mid 20's and a kano university student studying the Arabic language.
He's been stealing content from the net and posting it as his own. Here are some of his plagiarised posts in campus connect community:
THE FIRST POST:
This post contains 81% of plagiarism
https://steemit.com/hive-120962/@elseyyid/examination-success
THE SECOND POST:
This post is 💯 plagiarism
https://steemit.com/hive-120962/@elseyyid/educational-insecurities
THE THIRD CASE:
This post contain 95% of plagiarism!
https://steemit.com/hive-120962/@elseyyid/problems-of-student
FOURTH CASE:
This contains 64% plagiarism:

I was moved to check on his account, and I found out that he's relatively new to the platform, so I gave him a stern warning to desist from plagiarism and proceed to his achievement task 3 in the newcomer's community since he has not done so. But this user response shocks me, it shows that he knows what he was doing and that he's here for dishonest gain.
Not only these, he has been posting the same content in different communities maybe with the intent of getting rewarded with just a little effort:
One | Two |
---|---|
I've checked his wallet today and I find out that he had transferred his little earnings to one @ibn-auf and he's even on power down.
Could it be that @elseyyid opened 2 accounts from the beginning and intended to manage the same? I can't say for sure.
But @ibn-auf had made his introductory post but has not been verified in the newcomer's community, he made the same post thrice but he's not verified because he did not carry out all the requirements.
1st | 2nd | 3rd |
---|---|---|
Could it be that @elseyyid is the one managing the @ibn-auf account? I can not tell.

With this investigation of mine, I want to draw the attention of @steemcurator01 and other curators including all communities to take note of @elseyyid. He's banned from campus connect and he may likely try the same in other communities.
This is last week's plagiarism report from @goodybest. Thanks!

Thank you @steemchiller!
You're welcome 💃...^^
Smiling 😊 this has made my day already.
I really appreciate 💕 @steemflower I hope you're great 👍
This is a serious issue maybe he didn't know the effect of plagiarism because if the first one was a mistake why keep repeating it after several warning. I am definitely sure he opened a second account. People with multiple accounts thinks if they get ban, they will just switch to another account so they really don't care. This is a major issue and I think something needs to be done and fast.
You're absolutely right, let's just keep on the watch!
Yes and it sad how some people take plagiarism not serious. Thanks for sharing.
It's my pleasure! I just hope this will deterred others from commiting plagiarism
You are supposed to be working with FBI sef lol 😂.
Keep up the good work.
Funny 🤣 you! Thanks for the compliment
So sad things like this still happens even with the achievement program and several other warnings against plagiarism. Nice work @goodybest Let's keep working hard.
Thanks for appreciating my efforts, it means a lot for me, and I'm encouraged!
