The Need to Verify Data before Publishing: A Bad Case of Intercontinental Mistaken Identity
I applied for membership on #Steemit for over 2 months ago. I got an email saying my request was granted. I was very happy to see that email, so I started updating my profile immediately after a brief jubilation.
I was working on figuring out my profile and cover picture so I did a google search of myself to grab a suitable image url. I got a good result of so many images. As I clicked to grab an image, the caption beside the photo caught my attention. It reads, "Muhri son, Idris Busari invests 1 Million Dollars in MITV Ibadan"(https://fujiipop.wordpress.com/2017/08/30/muhri-son-idris-busari-invests-1-million-dollars-in-mitv-ibadan/).
I was already caught off-guard twice by the in-law bandit, twice in the middle of October. It was a crime of opportunity at our most vulnerable moment. Discovering this today is startling (See: https://www.facebook.com/resqranjazz/posts/10154661358701601).
Since this article was published in August,I think it explains why I got a flood of request for money from friends and relatives throughout the last quarter of this year. I am trying not to overthink what could come of this blog using my image on an article about a person with the same name but on another continent.
Should I be flattered or be upset? What would you advice in this situation?
