Since 2016, we have had a lot of reports for the accounts coming from Pakistan that contain stolen identities of different women (there must have been hundreds by now). It appears that these scammers think that it will be easier to receive votes and support for their fraudulent content (plagiarism, spam, etc) if they steal photos of some women from social media. They also think that by using the photos of women, the account will be less scrutinized for potential fraud. These scammers are very predictable in their modus operandi.
Stealing and identity of the other people and using their photos without their consent pretending to be them is particularly morally foul behaviour. It shows a complete lack of respect and awful objectification for that other human.

What a shame really, as simple as writing something original is enough to be here

A mistake?
Stealing the identity of some poor woman to pretend to be her so you can deceive is not just plain misogyny and immoral activity but also criminal. Evidently, you trivialise the severity of your criminal behaviour and see it as just a "mistake".
Only a criminal and a person who dehumanises women would not see such activity as something to be ashamed of.
We have been investigating such activities since 2016. We started on Steemit and continued on Hive.
