I wanted to let this issue just pass like nothing happened or is currently happening. But as I see this culprit taking advantage of my account, and earning money through my efforts and articles, I just can't seem to let it go.
This is my account, and no one has the right to use it to his or her own advantage. And to the culprit, you just got lucky you were able to log in my account on your device, but I assure you, you will never get away with this. This is not a threat, just merely stating facts.
So what actually happened to my account?
This morning, when I received upvotes from the Random Rewarder, I noticed that the amount of money that is shown on my wallet is not equal to the amount of upvotes I received from the robot. That was the first incident where I experienced having lost upvotes. I thought it was just a glitch or a bug that is why I received notifications from the robot but I did not actually received the upvotes. I shrugged it off because it was only about $0.50 amount of upvote.
But this evening, when the Random Rewarder tipped my previous article about my Update on my Trading Journey on Binance, I noticed again that there were missing amount of upvotes. From $2.64 upvotes, I only received $1.59 on my BCH wallet.
So I made a short post asking:
"Am I the only one who experienced this? On my previous article, I received $2.64 upvote from the Random Rewarder, but on my balance, I only have $1.60. 🤔
As far as I can remember, they only deduct 10%. Correct me if I'm wrong."
I received comments saying that it might be just the price value of BCH. But that is impossible because $1.04 would be too much for a loss.
Good thing @Laurenceuuu and @Eybyoung told me to check "My Account" and see if there is another wallet that is linked on my account. To my surprise, there is indeed another wallet that is linked without my knowledge, and I don't have access to it.
After trying to get a grasp of what is actually happening with my account, and why I suddenly have a new BCH wallet that is linked on my account, I came with a conclusion that someone logged in my account on a different device.
"Update:
So I just learned that someone logged in my readcash account on a different device, which is also the reason why I have lost amount of upvotes. And upon checking that wallet, he/she already received $1.38 from my articles and withdrew it to a different wallet. Wow! I can't believe some people would really go down to this level just to earn money.
If you want to have money, earn it in a decent way. 🤦♀️ Well, if you really are in need, I'm glad you to be of help. 🙄"
According to readcash:
"Each device that you use to login to read.cash has its own wallet. If you import the same seed phrase on multiple devices - you will have only one wallet here. If you did not import the same phrase - you will see multiple wallets here. We do not control these wallets, we just mark that you use them. Upvotes, tips and fund payments always go to the last used wallet. All wallets transactions are public in Bitcoin Cash blockchain, so you can use the links to block explorers to see the full history - both explorers should show the same data, but slightly different visually."
And I was right all along. The culprit is making money out of my account.
This is a screenshot of the BCH wallet that is linked on my account, and that I don't have any access to it. As you can see, it has a balance of $0.29.
And when I checked it before publishing this article, he already withdrew the balance.
Wow! Nice move right there. Whoever you are, you will never get rich or become successful with your wrong doings.
Based on his transaction history, he already earned $1.39 using my account.
While this is only a small amount of money, I just can't help it but to get mad with this. If you can't make an effort to make even a small money, then I am sure you will never be able to make a huge amount with that kind of attitude.
Well, whoever you are, may Karma hunt you down. God Bless You.
I'm done and I'm tired. Good night!
"Final Update: a Response From Simon
"It seems that either you have a virus or you used the same password on some other site. We have no idea that it isn't you, when he logs in.
Basically, someone comes in and uses a correct login and a correct password - why should we suspect it? For us it's normal, since it's exactly the same as if you used your account from a mobile phone and a desktop computer - two sessions at the same time, possibly with two different wallets (if you didn't enter your seed phrase). Using the same password on multiple sites is dangerous too for the reasons described above :) You're lucky that we don't store your money, otherwise it might have been gone too. You're only missing a tip or two :)"
So basically, what they are saying is that it is probably my fault and they can't do anything about it. It's all good now anyway. I've changed my password and they can't change my e-mail address. So let this be an awareness to everyone to keep your password safe and only use authentic passwords in every site you make an account.
Good morning. Have a nice day."
