To the MOFO who robbed my moms Steem wallet... SCREW YOU!!!

avatar
(Edited)

screw you!.png

Yes, SCREW YOU!! People like you deserve the wrath of karma that will eventually make its way to you!

I am beyond peeved!!!


Despite all the ups and downs of this platform my mom @lizziesworld, much like me - has remained loyal for the two years that she has been here. At the age of 70, every day, she diligently writes and shares her gardening knowledge and tips with her followers and the rest of Steem and she did not deserve this!

This morning I received a message of panic from her, only to discover that not only had she been robbed of 120 Steem and 40 SBD - which was literally her ENTIRE WALLET, the fncking scum bag even had the bloody nerve to start a powerdown... you know, rob her slowly as a cherry on the cake!

Untitled.png

Naturally, the very first thing I did was change her password and cancel the powerdown, and will now make contact with @steemcleaners - but there is nothing I can do to "undo" the way she must be feeling right now! If there is one way to make a person lose faith, it is to rob them of the rewards afforded through their efforts. I know this may not be worth a lot to some, but it was TWO YEARS of saving and was EVERYTHING to my mom!

I have DRUMMED it into my moms head from the start that she is not to click on links in comments etc. and whilst we cannot state anything as "matter of fact", what we do know - is that the only thing "out of the ordinary" that she has done of late was to click on a link in her wallet memos...

I wish I could offer some kind of "quick fix" for her, but we all know the likelihood of that... but I CAN however, try my best to appeal to those around me to help generate and replace at least a little bit of what was robbed... so,

All the earnings from this post will be given to my mom. If you are willing and/able to help me do this in whatever way you can, even if it is just a resteem... I would be eternally grateful and I know that it would help to ease the blow for my mom too...

❤ THANKS PEEPS ❤

Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

I'm very sorry to hear that... but how could they get in? Your mom must have logged in at that link, afterwards, no? Just clicking a link doesn't give the hacker access to the Active Key, does it?

Advice to only use steemit.com where posting key is use and keep the active key secure.

Use the active key if you want to withdrawal.

In this way, you minimize risk of losing your hard earned steem.

Send my regards to your mom. Not all steemian are bad, just a few rotten tomatoes.

I read what you're writing, but how come these past few days, with this keychain and steemconnect in one form is seems to be confusing where it get to a point that it literally ask you to put in a posting and then says it's incorrect that you need to put in your active key. It appears like your posting and active keys are being gathered, just saying cause it's what been happening this past few days, but before it wasn't like that.

I don't understand people, other people working hard while others doing nothing. What's worst is that they never choose who to victimised. The money or earnings might be earn back but the emotions of being robbed is not. They just wasted their skill in doing stupid thing's.

I feel sorry to your mom, but I'm sorry this is only I can do.

Haven't done this in a while, so not sure if it's going to work properly, but I've bought a vote for this post and your mother's latest, from SmartSteem. I'm hoping it will help get more attention on both.

I'm also sending a little bit of Steem to her wallet - I wish it were more, but hopefully all the little bits of support combined from the Steem community and the #PowerHouseCreatives family will help ease the sting.

Fingers crossed this gets sorted as quickly as possible.

@jaynie and @lizziesworld

I am so sorry that this has happened. I know how it feels: such an invasion and one feels so helpless. And any sensibility one might have had, flies out of the window.

I remember how I was supported by wonderful people like @zord189, @simplymike, and @guiltyparties when I was hacked and needed to recover my account.

This kind of conduct is unfathomable. I am always left asking, "Why?"

Upvoted (100%) and resteemed. Let me know if there's anything else...happy to chip in....

@Jaynie and @Lizziesworld... I'm sorry to hear this. That kind of behavior is disgusting, to say the least. The only good thing I can do is to give her a 100% upvote and I sent her 10 SBI. I know it won't cover much, but, I hope it helps a little.

My heart goes out to her. A lot of work was put into those rewards. That is hard earned cash. And to be blindly robbed. Well, unnerving.

PS... Make sure that she is logging out after she is done.

This certainly represents the lowest of humanity; on the positive side, however, there are more good people in the world than bad (I really do believe that) and as the replies and reactions from your post show, community is stronger than assholes when acting as a cohesive unit. I know it's small consolation, but we can at least take some solace from that.

I've got a little steem that I can send your way. Hope it goes at least some way to helping make things better.

@jaynie & @lizziesworld,

There's always someone, isn't there?

Someone who targets the old and the young, the weak and the meek. Degenerates lacking the moral fortitude to fight for anything larger than themselves. They are the cockroaches of our species, scurrying about in dark corners and stealing with guile what others have earned with gravitas and grit.

No behavior is too low, no undertaking too abominable. "Honor" is not only a foreign concept, the word, and the ideal it is meant to invoke, is one they hold in contempt.

To quote a great poet (me):

One man cannot give another man honor. Nor, may another man take it away, Honor, and dishonor, is something we do for ourselves.

Lizzie, the loss of your money, the meager result of two years of effort, is regrettable. But it is an amount sufficiently small to be written off as ... tuition. The far greater thing that risks being taken from you is the ability of one human being to believe in the goodness of another.

Take a look at the comments on this post. Look at the number of people willing to forfeit a piece of their own meager earnings so as to symbolically share in your misfortune. The trick in life is not "learning lessons." The trick is not learning the wrong ones.

Following this comment, I am going to compose a post: A Poetic Curse, for the cockroach who stole your purse. Curses are like engines ... they need gas to run. So, I will ask readers to fill up the tank with upvotes and donations. I suspect the Power House Creatives (lead by your indefatigable daughter who possesses as much soldier in her soul as do I) will ensure the post's wide distribution. Hopefully, we'll be able to get you back to where you started.

It's something that unleashes the anger and anger of anyone, all the work done so that another idiot comes to steal it, this type of people deserve the worst of punishments, I still find it hard to understand why there are such people, why not earn the money the best way. You have my vote that is worth practically nothing, and a resteem for many more people to see it and especially to be attentive to what happens.

I am terribly sorry about what happened to @lizziesworld. It can happen to any of us (I have known already way too many cases here), but it shouldn't.
It is hard for me to believe that the brilliant minds that brought us the blockchain with all its complexity cannot find more effective ways to protect us. (I know all what has been said about measures every one of us must take to prevent ID theft, but, we also know that even taking measures it does happen)
There got to be a way to at least track the mf who did it and recover what was stolen.

For the sake of the warning post I'll be putting up: Any idea how this could have happened? I mean... without your private active key or master password, they can't get into your wallet. Was she using Steem Keychain? Was she asked to log in using her private key through Seem Connect?

That is terrible. 😠 I am so sorry this happened to your sweet mother.

When you contact @steemcleaners, perhaps ask them if there is a way they can look at the IP address of the user who accessed the account and made the transfer to Blocktrades. If so, they might be able to do a query of what other accounts have used that same IP address to access the blockchain and track-down who did it. It can't hurt to ask.

Well, as much as it sucks, less than $100 isn’t that high of a price for the invaluable lessons in the experience.

At the end of the day, the focus is best brought back to the key principle: personal responsibility for security in this game.

Of course, that may be harder for someone 70 years old to come to terms with, though despite one’s age, none of us can remain blind to the fact that there are lots of scammers lurking in these waters, and the utmost diligence is required in attending to the details of who we trust with our passwords.

The greatest wisdom upgrades always come through the negative experiences. They may hurt, but that’s the School Of Hard Knocks sometimes.

And certainly, she’ll now be in a position to pass on some of her learnings - potentially saving someone else from similar experiences...

That sucks, you should have someone help you track that horrible excuse of existence to live! Seriously it is most likely someone close, like a neighbor or a bad fake friend! Someone that knows a little bit more about computers. They probably just stole the password out of the keychain! Hope it helps!

notice there is 666 in the 2nd block-trades record, the skumbag is going to hell! I’ll try to investigate as much as possible too, if they made a mistake anywhere I’ll find out. Most likely they didn’t send it to a blocktrades with a name or something, but if it is a dumb friend, they probably messed up. Especially if it was a crime of opportunity. Think back to if any one visited you that day. Who knows about bitcoin in the area?
