The scam has been clearly exposed on the thread of this https://steemit.com/introduce/@meiisheree/introducing-myself-a-little-girl-and-her-story just by reading the first few comments you clearly see how fishy this is getting with all the troll accounts made to counter the scam accusations.
Thanx to the steemians who are clearly speaking out against it even if they are powerless, are we going to allow this to be the new norm?
This below is my main post of 12 hours ago when I saw this fishy post that directly skyrocketed to 2500$ in under an hour.
Sorry but this has to be noticed urgently
So i was browsing hot topics to see what people were upvoting and were the hot discussions were happening.
I fall on a few introducemyself threads, lovely read and very enjoyable to see some great people adding themselves to our community WITH AT LEAST A STEEMIT VERIFIED PICTURE!
Then I fall on another one, a very hot one. A 14 years old girl, that have apparently been referred by her brother to steemit, without a verified picture but a very cute story where she introduces what she likes. A very developed English language for a 14 years old girl indeed, maybe too developed?
So here is my point, how can someone create an account , stating she is 14 years old and she like mangas with a very good english and no one question if this is a legit post that just reached 2500$ within a single hour? While you have these other people who took the effort to make their steemit picture, to introduce themselves and end up with pennies basically.
I hate to say it but this smell rigged as hell.
Here is the few hot posts I noticed in the last few hours
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@yanulyarus/my-second-love-steemit
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@hannahp/a-steemit-welcome-from-england
https://steemit.com/donate/@blinova/steemit-s-first-donate-post
Look at these posts above , legit people introducing themselves to this great community.
Now look at this one https://steemit.com/introduce/@meiisheree/introducing-myself-a-little-girl-and-her-story
Seriously, I need to understand how is it possible to give out these many upvotes to people that could just be anyone else making another account to upvote himself with the help of a few of his friends. No one has questioned the authenticity of this post and it will most likely reach 5000 + in the next few hours but these legit guys I posted about, above me are ignored by the whales. EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.
She writes: In my perspective, life is too short to waste, so try not to focus only on one thing and discover more (such as learning a new musical instrument or go hiking with your friends).
a 14 years old girl talking about life being too short ? lol come on already It's written rigged whales all over the posts. Steemit dev please wake up before its too late.
