Yes I have been scammed before on Facebook

A friend of mine whose account was hacked so unknown to me the person asked me to send him #5000 that her mom is in the hospital and all the stories that followed so I sent the money thinking it was my friend Chizzy not knowing it was a hacked account so later that evening I called her on phone to ask if she received the money she told me about on Facebook, she was asking me which money ? It was later that she told me that her Facebook account was hacked my goodness!!!
I was shocked, she was even surprised when I asked her if she received the money I sent to her. I had to explain everything to her and she was also shocked, she really felt bad for me but what could I have done at that moment, I had to endure the agony and let go.i believed God will send much more for me
This incident happened last year December
14/12/2020

It was really a terrible experience

2nd question
If someone ask about steemit being scam I would show the person my account and account of numerous white men in the platform as well as the blacks just for clarification then I would sit the person down and educate him or her on basic things about the platform such as the fun that comes with meeting new personalities, writing abilities, money making, investment and so Much more
at least with these the person's mindset will be changed
