While I would agree that chances are pretty good this is his account, it is certainly not the case that it is impossible for someone faking accounts to create accounts, make a post, then lay dormant for a while before returning. In fact, that is a very smart way to rip people off while making it seem more likely to be legit. I have seen way too many instances of scammers getting big votes from curation groups because they seemed legit. Asking for verification is common sense given Steem dynamics; assuming content is legit because it "feels" that way, is... not common sense given Steem dynamics. I could point you to dozens and dozens of examples of similar instances where it seemed like an account was legit, and the account received large votes from curation groups, only to be finally proven to be scams when the actual content creator was contacted (speaking from long experience first as a Curie curator, then as a Curie reviewer, and now as cofounder of @c-squared/@c-cubed curation group). Cheers

Yea, you absolutely correct. I have gotten some good rejected articles by these scammers. I have reported some actually. Yea. One point with this author is that, this is not even a video article but a photography and travel article. These are images only the author can have.
I know you a lot(from Curie curation and as a curie reviewer, a year plus or two years ago, technically that's not even knowing you a lot 😄). I actually thought you were the founder or co-founder of @curie, but I do know you played a major role to making what @curie is today. Already doing great with @c-squared and @c-cubed. We are honoured having people like you on this platform, because leaders like you are few, I only wish for more people like you(hoping I'm one too ☺️)
