I had a four-year-old account get phished recently with the same scam and a shortened link. Luckily, I had not been active on here for about two years, and they did not get much, but I learned a very good lesson. I personally do not care for Hivesigner at all myself.

Sorry to hear about that, it can happen to the best of us.
What is the lesson you learned?
Make sure any links I am following are going where they are supposed to!

LOL ahhh yeah, that's a good one! 👏👏👏
Funny thing is, I have never lost a dime until this happened and I have been in crypto for over four years! I mine BTC with an ASIC miner and have a decent little portfolio in a lot of different places. However, I had not been very active on HIVE for a few years. I had cashed out my Steemit account when I was in school and needed the money to get back on my feet after living a pretty rough life for many years. If the "phishers" would have waited like a week, they would have gotten significantly more than what they did. So not only did I learn a lesson, I learned it at a discount!
I like those lessons: if they have to be learned, at least learned on the cheap.
Welcome back :)
Thank you! It feels like coming home! I love the people here for real, even the asshats!
