To the MOFO who robbed my moms Steem wallet... SCREW YOU!!!
Yes, SCREW YOU!! People like you deserve the wrath of karma that will eventually make its way to you!
I am beyond peeved!!!
Despite all the ups and downs of this platform my mom @lizziesworld, much like me - has remained loyal for the two years that she has been here. At the age of 70, every day, she diligently writes and shares her gardening knowledge and tips with her followers and the rest of Steem and she did not deserve this!
This morning I received a message of panic from her, only to discover that not only had she been robbed of 120 Steem and 40 SBD - which was literally her ENTIRE WALLET, the fncking scum bag even had the bloody nerve to start a powerdown... you know, rob her slowly as a cherry on the cake!
Naturally, the very first thing I did was change her password and cancel the powerdown, and will now make contact with @steemcleaners - but there is nothing I can do to "undo" the way she must be feeling right now! If there is one way to make a person lose faith, it is to rob them of the rewards afforded through their efforts. I know this may not be worth a lot to some, but it was TWO YEARS of saving and was EVERYTHING to my mom!
I have DRUMMED it into my moms head from the start that she is not to click on links in comments etc. and whilst we cannot state anything as "matter of fact", what we do know - is that the only thing "out of the ordinary" that she has done of late was to click on a link in her wallet memos...
I wish I could offer some kind of "quick fix" for her, but we all know the likelihood of that... but I CAN however, try my best to appeal to those around me to help generate and replace at least a little bit of what was robbed... so,
All the earnings from this post will be given to my mom. If you are willing and/able to help me do this in whatever way you can, even if it is just a resteem... I would be eternally grateful and I know that it would help to ease the blow for my mom too...
❤ THANKS PEEPS ❤
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

Thank you so much! I appreciate that very much and yes, she does!!! :)
@jaynie & @lizziesworld,
There's always someone, isn't there?
Someone who targets the old and the young, the weak and the meek. Degenerates lacking the moral fortitude to fight for anything larger than themselves. They are the cockroaches of our species, scurrying about in dark corners and stealing with guile what others have earned with gravitas and grit.
No behavior is too low, no undertaking too abominable. "Honor" is not only a foreign concept, the word, and the ideal it is meant to invoke, is one they hold in contempt.
To quote a great poet (me):
Lizzie, the loss of your money, the meager result of two years of effort, is regrettable. But it is an amount sufficiently small to be written off as ... tuition. The far greater thing that risks being taken from you is the ability of one human being to believe in the goodness of another.
Take a look at the comments on this post. Look at the number of people willing to forfeit a piece of their own meager earnings so as to symbolically share in your misfortune. The trick in life is not "learning lessons." The trick is not learning the wrong ones.
Following this comment, I am going to compose a post: A Poetic Curse, for the cockroach who stole your purse. Curses are like engines ... they need gas to run. So, I will ask readers to fill up the tank with upvotes and donations. I suspect the Power House Creatives (lead by your indefatigable daughter who possesses as much soldier in her soul as do I) will ensure the post's wide distribution. Hopefully, we'll be able to get you back to where you started.

Resteemed, also sent your mum 10 steem to help out! It's a little, but it all matters. :)
It ALL counts and thank you!!!!
All good and I understand it as a mate of mine lost some stuff last year, when he was on Steemit.
yeah it really blows!
I have some sbi you can give to her, will send it to you
Really appreciate that @wales, thank you xx And I see it did arrive.
I stop by her posts almost daily (because she has such a great green thumb) and I love her gardening posts.... and this!!!
Just terrible!
People spend more of their time trying to steal from others, manipulate and be hoodlums than they do trying to actually earn a living!
Yip... got to love the human race :/
That is horrible! What a lowlife to do something like this to anyone. My vote isn't worth much but I have resteemed as well <3
It is indeed! and thank you for the help x
@Jaynie and @Lizziesworld... I'm sorry to hear this. That kind of behavior is disgusting, to say the least. The only good thing I can do is to give her a 100% upvote and I sent her 10 SBI. I know it won't cover much, but, I hope it helps a little.
My heart goes out to her. A lot of work was put into those rewards. That is hard earned cash. And to be blindly robbed. Well, unnerving.
PS... Make sure that she is logging out after she is done.

You are such a gem @dswigle MWAH!!!!! Lots of love!
XOXO
Fuckers.
I sent 10SBI to @lizziesworld to help with future post payouts for the long run.
Use the savings account if you need quicker access to funds with a 3 day security period or just power it all up. I'm sure you've already taken safety measures now

Thank you boot boy! MWAH! This horrible experience has actually shown a very positive turn for my mom in the long run and hopefully, more people will also take the time to read what she writes... because she is not connected to any discord servers.
And I'll be sure to comment more on her posts seeing as I don't get online harassment from that part of your family 😛

Advice to only use steemit.com where posting key is use and keep the active key secure.
Use the active key if you want to withdrawal.
In this way, you minimize risk of losing your hard earned steem.
Send my regards to your mom. Not all steemian are bad, just a few rotten tomatoes.
Unfortunate about those rotten tomatoes... and as for the password, she was using her posting key... so not sure what happened :(
The bad actor got the active key that’s for sure.
Bad experience happens to all of us and As children helping to bring up her mood.
Cheers to you.
many thanks
I read what you're writing, but how come these past few days, with this keychain and steemconnect in one form is seems to be confusing where it get to a point that it literally ask you to put in a posting and then says it's incorrect that you need to put in your active key. It appears like your posting and active keys are being gathered, just saying cause it's what been happening this past few days, but before it wasn't like that.
saw this post on @pypt #pypt
and sending your mom some Steem!
