Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This is going to be Week 85, Edition 03 of our Weekly Featured Content.
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun we did not want it to come to an end. We are currently on our third topic for this week which is “BREAKING THE RULES”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last one which was “THIS IS FRAUD”. This topic was geared toward each member of the community sharing their experiences with fraudsters and scammers both online and in person. With the evolution of technology, it’s so easy to fall victim to the schemes of these guys and it’s paramount that we remain vigilant.
We got to hear the different experiences of our members and how they got scammed. We also learned about how many of us managed to avoid getting scammed by outsmarting them. It’s a continuous war against fraud. It was an enlightening topic indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w85e2 tags. And with the number of wonderful posts out there it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors will be listed below:

FRAUD AND SCAMS: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A VICTIM? by @shiftrox
This author shared his story with us. He told us about how he managed to avoid a scam as a child. One of the earliest methods of defrauding people that, thanks to his mother and cousin, he was able to avoid. That set the basis for his awareness of scams and frauds to date.
FACING VARIOUS TYPES OF SCAMMERS IN WEB 2 by @ayamihaya
This author told us about how she has been the target of multiple attempted hacks across her Web2 social media platforms. They’re always reaching out to her and trying to get her to click on one link or the other that would give them access to her account. She has always been vigilant, and will always be.
FRAUDULENT SCHEMES OF SCAMMERS. @adoore-eu
This author told us about the time she was almost scammed by a fraudster who was posing as an employee at the bank she held an account in. Under the guise of trying to fix her ATM, they almost got access to her account. But thankfully, she was able to catch on in time and put a stop to the entire thing!
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. And first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (@melinda010100) ] and 1 Hive SBI each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions which are listed below:
