RE: day 2 of UMVbot and veteran abuses on steemit.
Not sure what to say about that. if true, then why do something like that? And what if donations are going to the cause they say? After all, did he not say that he himself is not a veteran?
Real veterans are the targets of scams all the time. Our community has been targeted 4 times in the last 6 months.
We also have people that pretend to be veterans to get donations. This is the most aggravating part.
It's called stolen valor, and there's plenty of videos on YouTube that should get you up to speed. It's also a federal offense that carries a sentence of jail time.
Thanks for the info. I will be getting a look at this. It's nothing I've ever heard of, then again, I don't normally follow this sort of topic. I just started since I found out a lot of people talking about it here.
Voted!
