This is real story which i have faced long time ago in 2021 when Steem Blockchain was getting hardfork and new blockchain was getting birth and it was hive where all the popular and dedicated witness who actually developed steem foundation and basic structure left the steem and created hive .
Hive is actually clone of steem as how steem has steemit blog platform with internal crypto coin called steem power ,steem dollar SBD and Steem .Hive had all same but the change was news blockchain and dedicated team .
As user i was so happy that i got bonus coin with same valuation as how steem was against US Dollar . That time Steem and hive was traded in between 38 cents to 44 cents .in my account i had 34k steem so i got 34k hive after hardfork But this happiness was not permanent as i did big blunder with my account on hive .
Image Credit : I Took Hive Account Screenshot
This image is just screenshot of my account which was taken today but problem is i have no control on my own account because it was phishing by some scammer on that time .
The story start like i was happy earner on that time as i had very big support of upvoter and also i had around 3k follower ,5k plus post and in wallet 35k steem power but i was unfortunate to become scape goat of scammer .
One day i was just playing on my phone called splinterland which is one of the popular steem game that time .
I was deeply focused on playing game and suddenly i got pop up message like i had got huge reward by hive family but i have to click and register in just 1 minute .
Actually i had to stop and think about whats going on but i was greedy that they offering me to grab some SBD coin if i register in 1 minute so i just blindly click the link .
I minimise splinterland game in my phone and clicked the link. Take note if any link you click in phone then the URL You should notice to know where you landed but in my scenario it was completely different . i could not notice that the laded page is not safe i mean it was not official hive site .
What i notice when i click the link that it ask me user id and password which i suppose to give posting key but it was asked active key and master key to get the SBD reward in my wallet quickly and at the end i gave it .
Just within 1 minute i got notification that my wallet fund got transferred to some other hive account user and i got completely shocked and tensed because i was loosing my hard earned money and account .
Just in minute i completely lost my account .yes i could ask hive to assist me recover my account but unfortunately i was not kept any recovery password of my account .
The pain of loosing such well grown account where i was automatically upvoted once i use to publish any post worth 10 USD .It made me stressed and shocked that how it happened with me .
As result, i lost 35 k Hive crypto currency and my Well established Hive Account with Thousand Follower .
Phishing is one of the dangerous tool in online fraud which i learned after paying such amount .
I just remembering because i lost the account exactly 5 years back which made me sad and mentrally unrest. As per my experience i would suggest new user or old user always be alert and do not greedy for any such kind of offer and promotion without knowing the full detail.
