RE: Report as Steem Representative, 04.05.2024
"never trust another new user ever again"
That's very harsh, but I honestly don't want to spend my limited time here with newcomers, of whom many / most are just spam accounts or fake accounts. Although I know that it would be important to take the newcomers by the hand and support them.
chriddi warned me early on that nadina's account was fake. Her intuition was probably right. I'm still not entirely convinced that it really is "fake". But some of her activities were atypical for a newcomer. Ultimately, as a Steem Representative, I can't justify supporting someone with a delegation who posts here and then pushes the rewards onto the other chain...
It feels like repeated bad experiences. I can only think of 1 new user in the last year that has been worth the effort. So maybe it's a case of "wait and see" when there's enough activity to form a complete impression. It's probably telling that most of the people I talk to the most never completed their achievements.
I suspected that when I read the comments in DU. It was obvious that her German wasn't good enough (presumably worse than mine 😉) but whoever's creating these accounts always has "recently moved to..." in their introduction, giving them a "get out clause". They've had a lot of practise now so it's increasingly difficult to know what's real and what's not!
That's what did it for me. It's one thing to be suspicious of AI, but to transfer it to HIVE is a big no-no if you're on Steemit.
Well, I'm not happy. :-|
Maybe we were wrong to suspect her after all. She made a mistake, but I'm still not convinced of a fake.... and her reaction here and here encourages me...
This user is very good at pulling on the emotional heart strings and has no shame in lying to make people feel guilt or empathy.
Do you believe that somebody would register on Steemit and Hive and be inundated with offers to buy a pre-verified account? How would that work? "Hey newbie, I see you've been asked for another photo. I've got this verified account for you, do you want it?"
I'm surprised that after 3 days of complete silence, (s)he posted a statement on both of the accounts that were highlighted. The other accounts' been left silent for now too - since it's not been mentioned.
I'll happily share more with you on Discord (It's a mistake that a lot of multi-account users make) but (s)he'll see this comment so I don't want to put it on-chain.
Of course, I could be wrong but she'd transferred the STEEM to HIVE before she'd been accused of anything.
