Someone Stole My AxieBCH-Related Articles And Made Money On Hive *I have not posted anything for the past few months, which made me feel like I was back to being a newbie again. To be honest, it's pretty challenging to start all over again, but I'm up for a challenge anyway so hopefully, I'll be able to write more often starting today.* So in today's article, I'm going to share with you an event that happened to me for quite some time now. Actually, this draft has been made the day I learned about the incident, which was almost 2 months ago, but since I was not ready to come back (publish), I could not be able to finish it on time until I was gone MIA.
Now that I'm ready to grind again, it's about time to finish my draft and use this as my first article after being gone for almost 3 months. By the way, the incident that I am talking about is about some of my AxieBCH-related articles. You probably have already heard about it through my old noise.cash posts or read from some of the victims here. However, I would still like to share my thoughts about it even though the incident was already long overdue. An unexpected message It was on the 9th of June when I received an urgent message from @Kristofferquincy regarding his Hive account. According to him, someone took his identity, created an account on Hive, copied some of his AxieBCH-related articles, and made money from his hard work. Unfortunately for Kristoff, the said scammer made the account first before him so when he finally signed up, he was flagged as fake. The admins then contacted Kristoff and started calling him a fraud and a liar for creating another account under the same name with the same profile photo after that "fake" account was banned. After hours of trying to clear his name, the admins finally believed in him. He wasn't the only victim This scammer didn't just steal Kristoff's identity and articles, he/she also did the same to a few more writers, including me. There are 14 of us, to be exact, and 5 of these victims were/are AxieBCH scholars. Below is a full list of the writers whose articles are being plagiarized.
By the way, each user has their own account on Hive created probably by one person. Luckily for me, I had created my account on Hive with my official username *"**bmjc98**"* way before the scammer signed up, which explained why mine was just *"**bmjc**"*. https://ecency.com/@bmjc98/posts https://ecency.com/@bmjc/posts Who was the culprit? Kristoff suspected that the culprit was someone from the guild because the articles that were stolen were mostly about AxieBCH. At first, I thought he could be right but after I did my research today, I doubt if it was someone from the guild. First off, only a few of us from the AxieBCH guild write and publish articles. The rest are mostly new in crypto and are also not into writing articles; but then again, no one really knows, except for the scammer. Moreover, if you check my list below, you will see that only 6 of us published AxieBCH articles. If there's one thing I am certain about, that is the fact that the culprit is/was definitely a read.cash user. There is no way that the scammer is an outsider. Easy money for this lazy bee As I checked my dummy's account, I saw that he/she earned a total of $58 from the 17 articles that the scammer stole from me. Now, that's what we call easy money! That scammer earned $58 from me effortlessly.
Now, let's see how much that theft totally earned from ALL of us. alfonso132 - $0.99 / 8 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Sep 13** https://ecency.com/@alfonso132/posts axierankers - $90.69 / 13 AxieBCH articles / **Dec 2** https://ecency.com/@axierankers/posts bmjc - $58 / 17 AxieBCH articles / **Oct 13** https://ecency.com/@bmjc/posts carlosandjane - $30.43 / 10 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Oct 3** https://ecency.com/@carlosandjane/posts carlosar - $16.96 / 9 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Sep 28** https://ecency.com/@carlosar/posts iloveyougod - $1.78 / 5 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Sep 30** https://ecency.com/@iloveyougod/posts imeybyoung - $22.88 / 10 (mixed) articles / **Oct 16** https://ecency.com/@imeybyoung/posts jirexhin - $59.8 / 7 AxieBCH articles / **Oct 19** https://ecency.com/@jirexhin/posts karla154 - $58.8 / 29 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Sep 22** https://ecency.com/@karla154/posts kristofferquincy - $158.08 / 19 (mixed) articles / **Oct 1** https://ecency.com/@kristofferquincy/posts lucifer01 - $29.81 / 9 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Oct 2** https://ecency.com/@lucifer01/posts lyn2x - $26.82 / 6 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Sep 30** https://ecency.com/@lyn2x/posts momments - $1.42 / 5 (non-AxieBCH) articles / **Oct 6** https://ecency.com/@momments/posts nheng1118 - $29.4 / 5 (mixed) articles / **Oct 20** https://ecency.com/@nheng1118/posts TOTAL - $585.86
*Closing thoughts* Indeed, it was really such easy money for the scammer. All this theft did was create an account for each user, grabbed a few articles, and voila! This lazy bee didn't even have to worry about what to publish the next day because he/she got everything he/she needed. Luckily, all these accounts were already banned for real. Anyway, as I've said earlier, this topic might be long overdue, but I still needed to finish my draft, which I initially wrote last June. This article will also serve as my second post on Hive as well as to show proof that I am the real "bmjc98". I created my Hive account last March 2021 but unfortunately, I didn't pursue the platform. Well, this time, I want to try my luck again, and if you are already on Hive, feel free to **follow me** there as well. https://ecency.com/@bmjc98/posts

Scammers are very fast on hive. You must be ready to trace anything copied from your articles. People are very strict on hive and punish at the instant.
Yeah. I will do my best tho. I just don't know how to do it.
This is the reason why most websites don't allow cross-posting, things like this happen easily when there is no way of validating if a user is what he claims to be. This scammer will surely meet his waterloo someday.
It's good to see you back again, ate. Anyway, nasa Hive na rin po ako. π I just started my journey there a few weeks ago. Hehe. Follow kita doon ate.
Anong rules sa Hive? Pwede ko ba ishare articles ko dito dun? Follow kita dun later.
Sucks a lot. However I wouldn't totally trust those initiatives like Hivewatchers completely. I've seen them accusing some members but they were wrong. One time they downvoted someone that posted an image from pixabay because the user didn't link the source. I'd say that's abusive since the licence these images are released with doesn't demand attribution.
Aww. Thanks for this comment. At least now I know that I need to cite the sources of the photos I will be using to avoid issues like this. Do you have articles about Hive tho like rules etc?
Cloned accounts are a sign of success
Haha. Yeah, I guess.
I have problems accessing my hive account but perhaps when I can really make time and focus on it. For now, I'm still slacking on it. It's sad to know about this I just published an article about "the new kind of plagiarism" and wow! It's really becoming rampant these days. Scammers really finds a way.
Scammers are always up for easy money. They wont stop for as long as they can still sign up for another account. I'm also slacking but I will try my best tho.
Maau unta same sa noisecash if plagiarized ang post dili Maka earn or makakuha ug tip. Samoka pud Ana niya sis oi. Dawat limpyo man.
Lagi pero di man gud nila ma verify if kana na user is the actual person they claim to be. Maayo untag ang rules kay ang ma repost na article sa hive from other platforms kay under the same username with some other proofs na makaverify na same user ra jud. Pero murag lisod lisod noon na.
Wow Naman easy money ehh.. Hayss mga taw jud nga di katigo maghago para makakwarta. kadakoa rabas na earn sa buang oyy. Pero happy for you sis na nibalik nakag active.
Dako jud sis. Na curious ko gahapon mao ako jud gitagsa tagsa ug check per account. Samot na kang Kristoff na $158 jud kaayo. Baga kaayog nawng ning mga taw na tapulan ra kaayo mangitag kwarta. Effort lagi kuno pero effort ug pang search kinsay sunod biktimahon. Anyway, salamat sis. Happy to be back as well as to see that you guys still remember me. βΊοΈβΊοΈ
I was glad the person accounts was disable... Kristoffer also called me and told me about it.. We both made a video on 3speakbc concerning the matter titled Identity theft. Like you said, the person is defiantly an insider that knows you all
I just hope that person is no longer here but i doubt it. Maybe he/she is still lurking out there waiting for his/her next victim.
What a shame. Kakapoy anang ijang gibuhat sis no sig himo ug account haha. Gikutihan gani kog himo sa ahu ja sija kugihan mohimo account pero tapolan mohimo article huhu. Dako na raba nakuha oyy. Easy money jod
Dako jud ui. Kapoy bitaw ng sa hive kay daghan arte sa ilang keywords. Di parehas read na dali ra. Kugihan jud muhimo ug account. Ako gali tapulan mu sign up bisan asa. Hayst. Basta pangwarta gali, kugihan jud mu scam ang uban.
Oh my God, meron palang ganun sa Hive? Mabuti nalang at nabanned na, grabeh talaga mga scammers gagawin lahat magkapera lang.
Sinabi mo pa. Feeling ko nasa tabi tabi pa rin siya. Baka nga active pa to dun e. Pero sana wala na.
Hala, grabe easy money lang no? Maayo kay totally banned na na siya oi... Hello sis, nice to see you here again.
Hi sis. Yeah, i hope di na ni siya makasamok ui. Pero feeling naku naa ra japon ni siya.
You should look out kasi ang Hivewatchers, magsuspect na baka yung main account mo rin ay fake. Better create a post there stating na may nagplagiarize at nagkopya ng account mo.
Yes. This is why I made this post. I guess I will just insert my links to the copied articles. Nakalimutan ko iattach dito. Thanks sa comment.
Dako kaayo iyang nascam na income ate, easy money jud. Murag kaila jud mo ana niya ate
Ambot lang sad kaha pero ug kinsa man siya, unta na banned na siya ui.
First of all, Welcome Back ate! Parehas tayong hindi nag popost na masyado after months. Second, nakakainis naman yang scammer na yan! sana mabasa niya to ng mahimasmasan sana may pang detect din mga scammer ate no doon sa HIVE mahanap man lang para di na siya maka scam pa.
Feeling ko andito pa rin yung taong yun dito. Sana man lang mabasa niya to. At sana banned na siya at kahit mag create man ng new account, automatic ban na. Kainis e.
Nasa Hivewatchers na din pala, sila na bahala diyan. Some of the users and I, alerted the management of HivePh for accidents like this. If you know some who does plagiariasm again from read to Hive, just tell me and I will tell the HivePH management. They can do something about it.
Hindi pa ako nakapag post ulit sa hive. Ano nga pala rules nila dun?
Grabe ang laki nung kinita nya by just copy and pasteπ
Sinabi mo pa. Easy money talaga kung titingnan mo.
These guys that engage in plagiarism are like a plague that won't go away. Ever persistent. I think we shouldn't get tired of exposing them even though they're relentless. Call them out whenever you discover them. This is one of the down sides of the anonymity that is associated with crypto social platforms
And I wish there was really a way to prevent this from happening again. It's just so frustrating to see your articles being used by other people without your consent.
Welcome back po atee! I'm also gone MIA for almost 4 months because of studies and now I'm officially back because of my vacation. Grabi ang kinita ng scammer na nagcopy ng mga articles niyo. Parang alam na alam niya talaga yung mga taong pagkukuhaan ng mga articles since your name as well as others name mentioned above has a very good reputation in different platforms.
That's why i am certain that person is also a user here. Feeling ko di siya umangat dito sa read kaya sa ibang platform siya nag hasik ng lagim. Anyways, sana lang karma will haunt him/her down.
Halakaaa, na stalk ko yaan before. Naisip ko nga wow mj is doing great here pala. Ang laki din kasi ng mga tip ee. Naga taka lang akp bat di mo nashishare dito. Kaso naisip ko din baka busy. Saka ilang month kana din na di activr ee. Tapos di pala un sayo OMG lang π±π±π±
Yun nga e. Buti na lang nauna ako gumawa ng account kung hindi nakuha na niya username ko. Yun ang pinaka masaklap if ever.
How could someone be so evil minded, but good thing is that, all his fake accounts are banned now. Karma will serve him.
Unfortunately, some people just want to earn money without doing anything. I just hope this person will get what he/she truly deserves.
Ay yan po yun sinasabi ni jiro. ate grabe naman po pala pinagkaperahan ang hindi sa kanya. karma nalang ang balik nyan sa kanya.
Kaya nga e. Easy money talaga siya. Imagine kung buong taga read kinopya niya. Di ang dami niyang nakamkam na hindi naman niya pinaghihirapan. Anyway, it's so nice to see you, tohkii. Musta ka na?
Confirmed yung sinend mo sakin, can't believe na may kokopya nung sakin hahaha
Buti talaga chineck ko isa isa. Pagkakita ko sa cover photo alam ko na sayo yun. Kapal ng pagmumukha talaga.
First. Welcome back to writing. Hndi pb nasolve to?/ i remember natopic nga to datin. kung sino man to, andito parin for sure..
Di ko alam kung anong balita dito pero sana wala na siya dun. Btw, madam, me article ka about Hive? Like rules etc.
Oi yung Lucifer.. Hndi ba sya same sa Luci dto?
Same Lucifer ata. Btw, di ako makapag tip. Bakit kaya?
Welcome back to readcash Mj π The person behind all these is obviously a readcash user, what he/she did is truly despicable, feeding off someone's else efforts and hardwork is diabolical and I hope hive watchers have blacklisted all the accounts
