RE: The Case of KarlasKrafts Charity Scamming

in #abuse6 years ago

We created the account because @ganjafarmer vouched for them. When it became fairly certain that the individual was not who they claimed to be, we removed the delegation that we used to create the account. It may be that both he and we were duped. Lesson learned. We won't be creating anymore new accounts unless the person we're creating it for is thoroughly vetted.

Our admins went back and forth about it because either way, we either look like we're involved with a scam or that we're destroying the account of a trafficking victim.

But someone who claims to be a trafficking victim who is just using that to scam money from people is really doing a huge disservice to the estimated 25 million people worldwide who are actual victims of such a horrific practice.

Thanks for explaining it clearly the intentions are good for sure. Would be cool to see a group jump all over well traveled steemians steemians who can easily be vouched for by large #s if people because they have invested lots of time on the platform and do so still to this day because they are trying to bring awareness to their causes and not even really asking for handouts except for very very specific things. For some reason @thegreens is being looked over by teamgood. If they dont meet what your looking for @lakawero usually needs help delivering art supplies to poor mountian village children the phillipines like most of us cant afford to do much of anything with out help from others, he needs this kind of support that this weird account got. He leaves detailed information and weekly post about what he does with the money and shows you pictures of the kids receiving the school supplies or of the tent that him and his wife use when they have to trek up a mountain and stay overnight while trekking to delivering the art supplies.

I pray for everyone in teamgood who is on the east coast just starring at this monsterous hurricane coming at them. Thank you for your response!

I was looking at @lakawero and sadly he is inactive now. Another inactive acvount😔 I assure you though @thegreens is active

dm me on this, I'll see what we can do or reach out to others networked in to this .....
yeah this is a Category 5 hitting on the American East Coast, everyone be safe! <3 drama llama aside

peace be with you sisters, lets hope that this will jumpstart a new chapter.

this is better than being at war, I looked at the intro and asked pointed questions myself after being in the same community and listening to the podcast and such. I have a soft spot for this issue and was by far not the only person or group that got played..not by a long shot
but regardless this was handled as well as can be expected and now let's make Steem 8 again!(Whatsup's Initiative) at least can it get over a dollar for a week so everyone can sing Kumbaya together for a Dlive

next time ask the questions BEFORE creating the account and all should be good ma'me
