#Club100 - My Steemit account was copied on Hiveblog. What to do to fix the problem
Hello everyone;
I noticed today by coincidence that my account has been copied on hive.blog. I felt the need to prepare this post to inform my friends who do not know about this subject. Today, when I saw @steemcurator01's comment to my dear friend @petface, I got worried about this issue. When I searched for my username on hive.blog, I noticed that there was a blog with the same account name.
This situation made me very angry, I did not want her to make an unfair profit by using my posts that I prepared by working for hours. That's why I tried to blacklist this account by informing the hive community.
While I've been writing on steemit for over a year, this user opened this account in February 2022. I wish I had the same username in hive when I opened my steemit account. I could have avoided this malicious person in this way, fortunately I soon realized.
Steemit accounts opened in 2017 are also available in hive. Therefore, these users do not need to worry about this. however, if you are a new user, I suggest you search for your username on hive.blog and check if your account has been copied.
So, I first tagged the community admins under these posts with my own hive account and reported that this account was plagiarizing.
Unfortunately, Resource credits were low as I didn't have any power in my hive account. Therefore, I could not find the opportunity to write to other posts.
In the next step, I gave information to the witness.
Thinking that this would not be enough, I wrote to the team about plagiarism on hive from discord.
By the way, I also reached the discord of the community where this account gets the most votes.
When I reported the situation to the community admin, she asked me for the original posts on steemit.
After sending the original links, the hive admin muted this user and said that she will report other community admins as well.
I am happy that this account was muted soon, I hope it will be a guide for users who are faced with this situation.
Luckily for me, I was able to claim my Username on both Blurt and Hive. If you're not on Blurt then you should probably check if some made took your username and content on there too.
Oh thank you for warnimg. I will check blurt, too.
It's great that you noticed this fake account and took many precautions. This post will allow other Steemit users to check their accounts. Thus, possible fake accounts will be detected. Let's take our measures against labor thieves. Also, thank you very much for your guide post.
Thank you, I hope there is a solution to this. However, at this stage, those people who appear will have to check whether their own accounts have been stolen. I wanted to at least show a way to people who are faced with this situation.
Greetings my dear @ozenozge Thank you for the mention and explaining what is best to do in this horrible situation. We are in this together and we have each other's backs. However I have no account of my own on Hive so I can't do much this quick. I filled in the abuse report form and messaged them on Discord but so far I have not heard from anybody on Hive. Can you please report the fake @petface account too so they mute it ASAP? Many thanks my lovely.
Of course dear @petface I'm reporting this scammer
This was a very important issue, thank you for warning us. It will be very good to give necessary lessons to labor thieves and close their accounts.
Thanks, I hope there is a solution for this.
