I won’t give, or even remember, any names because my gut tells me such action would end up misinterpreted and invite backlash from the do-gooders. All I can tell is now and then I encounter a post designed to tug on peoples’ heartstrings, a mushy account of an awful predicament, like poverty, child’s illness, and so on. Many readers accept the details provided without bothering to verify anything, and the post’s value skyrockets. Of course this kind of scam has been around for decades, only not on Steemit, while people who need help the most have no means to make their cry for help heard.
