RE: Communities
Reminded me of a #gaming community here on steem. After gaining our trust the founder asked many of us for money to support the project and then ran away. Well, it's our fault that we trusted him but you get the point.
Gaming or gambling?
Gaming... He requested the money for bid bots for the main community account (when bid bots were a thing.) He didn't request a huge amount only $5 from each user (I think he asked more from the big users,) but he did so with each one in private and we didn't know he asked the others until he ran away.
Lol.
I Lol'd, too. People should be suspicious when asked for money via DM in discord or something. If they don't make a post about it and communicate the information openly, it's naive to trust. Sadly, shame prevents people from sharing until they've scammed more and more people.
Yep, one of the earliest pieces of advice once I went into chats, don't give anyone money. I have actually given friends loans and the like over the years in quite significant amounts, but I am careful with who. This is pseudonymous crypto, trust no one :D
Has happened way too often unfortunately.
There are also a few review websites that basically did nothing after they got funding. Why develop further if you reached your real goal to get a massive delegation?
Yeah, that's sad.
