RE: Travelfeed.io: discover travel content created by a large community of like-minded travelers!
Yes, I do remember that transaction. However, as you can see it is written "Thanks for sharing some info about the current situation in Argentina".
This post that you shared is not about Argentina. It is about the coronavirus prevention.

5 STEEM were sent to reward another post.
Not this one.
You can find the full list of contest participants over here. :)

The post we are talking about is not on this list.
However, thank you for letting me know about this account. Next time I will check it twice.
The tool that I use is called https://edubirdie.com/plagiarism-checker.
The post that he was rewarded for did not pop up on this tool as plagiarized one although some information might have been borrowed. I do not recall. :)
I just gave that link to show recent post by the scammer.
The scam post that you gave freebie for is this one. About Argentina.

It literally takes 5 seconds to highlight any part of this post and click "search with Google" to find multiple sources.
4 y/o can do this.
And if you mean the other one about Argentina.

It takes 15 seconds. 5 seconds to right click on any paragraph and click "translate wih Google Translate" (in most browsers), then translate to Spanish (as the user is obviously coming from Venezuela), another 5 seconds to copy translation and right click search with Google.
One of sources:
https://www.argentina.gob.ar/coronavirus/aeropuertos-puertos-pasos-fronterizos
Good morning,
First of all, I have to thank you for the work you do.
It is very important. As I already mentioned, I will take a better look at this author if he posts anything again.
No, I didn't reward this author for the first post.
Yes, I rewarded him for the second post.
The source you mentioned is an official Government of Argentina's website. They allow using the information with or without doing modifications. However, proper sourcing was needed and I will contact the author to remind him.
Thank you again for pointing this out.
Yes, there was no proper sourcing. Though adding the source would change the post to nothing else but copypasta spam with no original content/significant amount of thought added to it.
If not enough of original content is added to copypasta then the payout should be declined when posting (if the user just wants to share.
There is no reason to "better look" at this account. Just block it from being able to participate. And please watch this account activity as this scammer is likely to create or use different accounts to scam the rewars out of you and other curations. Please watch the wallet activity.
