✴️ DID I JUST GET SCAMMED FOR OVER 650+ STEEM!! BE CAREFUL!
Always take full responsibility for every decision you make in life, learn from it and move on ~ Charles Fuchs.
What up Steeemians, It's been a while... I've just been busy with the craziness that is happening in the cryptocurrency markets and the family holidays.
As you guys my have seen on Steemit the last several days, there was lots of drama going on with @zeartul (the owner of @bellyrub) for taking off with everyone Steem investment that promised a 45% APR return on investment to be used to fund the bot voter. 👨🏼💻
You guys know me, I'm a very well drivin' Steemit community kinda guy so when @zeartul asked privately to invest, I didn't think twice. 💁🏼♂️
So 3 months ago, I invested over 650+ Steem (+250 extra) and as being a nice guy... I even voted him for Witness 😳
Before I jumped to any conclusions and said my 2 cents about the subject, I wanted to wait and see what the community had to say first on what just happened with this so called "Scandal".
I'm the kinda guy who takes full responsibility for every action and decision I make in life... I just don't have that "Victim" mentality.
However, I can afford the loss as the crypto market gave me huge gainzzz this year but for all those people who fell for this "scam" that can't afford to lose, I feel for you. ♥️
It sucks to be "Scammed" and "Lied" too in life but let this be a learning experience for all of us and move on to greater things.
Also, I want to give a big shoutout to my boy @neoxian as he stepped up in the Steemit community to help give back 30% to all the victims who got hosed.
MAD RESPECT for you Boss for doing this!
You can visit @neoxian article here explaining it more on what he is doing to help (while you're there, vote for him as witness)!

So guys with that being said, be careful out there. There are lots of wolves in sheeps clothing... always looking for their next victim.
.... but guess what, the people of Steemit and the community will always have your back!
STEEM ON FOR LIFE!
P.S. For those who are interested in following my daily activities that I do in very "short form" called "Micro Blogging" on Steemit.

650 are peanuts but it is a really shame!
Don't trust ANYONE!
650 steem could of got me more STACKIN shirts lol
I heard that neoxian is giving some refunds, and also many other people..
if it is true, then you can make shirts with " zeartul scammer" on it lol
That sucks man, to be honest i was intrigued by his investment proposal but after chatting with him i got cold feet. Just didn't feel right.
I ended up delegating power to some up and coming steemians instead.
You just reminded me that I voted for his witness, gotta remove that.
I respect that you can admit when you make mistakes, we all do.
I know you'll make that 600 back quickly.
respect

Yeah, never wanted to do it but between several personal chat... I was like fine. Lesson learned, I could afford the lost but it’s all the other steemians I feel for. Appreshhh Man 😎
So sorry that you are one of the victims. Hope the scammer is found and no one else get scammed.
Stay positive and God Bless
@jackpot
Damn. What a shame if you even can not trust a high reputation anymore.
Sorry to hear that dear @stackin.
Yeah, he still has 12k of steem power... hope he does right to all the other people but I doubt it.
Powering down and labeled as " hacked account ". Really sad this guy.
@stackin You are the BEST......
Naaa bro, you the best lol
You win some, you lose some, but you always learn from some too. Keep stackin!
It’s like a battle field out there haha 🤣
kind of a bummer
a big one even
I will propably only delegate from now on.
Yeah, it’s a shame. We all can learn from this 😀
It's sucks to see you get taken like this @stackin . You've been one of my favorite Steemians to read because you are always so damn positive. Zeartul tried to project that same positive presence but it always came off a little fake to me. Sorry my gut was proven right. Gonna give you a 100% upvote via steemfollower!
Apppreciate you man 💪🏼🙌🏼💯
Hiii @stackin ,very sad to know that you are also in those victims, bellyrub not do good and a fraud and big scammer. I realy condemn this. and my best wishes with you, dont take tention and go ahead. good luck.
So right, moving on to brighter things 😎
hope not. these scammers make me sick fyi
