For the past 3 days people I don't know have been asking me for money and I am not talking about a little $1 or 2 sd. I am talking $25-50 steem dollars! Are you kidding me? I bust my ass at work come home take care of my son and have to take care of other things. NO....I am all for helping, as most of you know but I am a minnow as well. Also if you are on here asking me for money and i dont know you, you need to get a job or blog more. Please don't beg or try to BS me for money go ask a whale (kidding) . It's funny, one scammer probably looked at my wallet and at the time I had exactly 26 steem dollars. He sends me a message saying: "Hey I need help i have an emergency can I borrow 26 steem dollars if you have it"
Whats the emergency I ask?
Response: "I have to buy some books and play some steemdice" WHAT are you KIDDING ME!
I don't mind helping trusted steemians who i know and trust with money or who have a reputation of honor and respect on here. I have helped a few out with money and will continue to help who "I WANT TO HELP" but I knew them and I trusted them. The other stranger asked me for $50 SD! I will say it again. Don't ask me for money if I don't know you like that. Even though I feel sorry for you like I do Leo in this video below this is what you remind me of you of when you ask for me for money.
My heart does go out to you and this scene does make me cry but im sorry I can't help you. You need to help yourself. Have a nice day :0)

I understand, you do deserve an upvote however, stay strong my friend
Eh not even about the up vote thanks though I appreciate it, here is one back lol I want to bring it to ppl attention im sure the whales get messages all the time asking for money im just a minnow but they are sneaky they go around looking at ppls wallets and ask for that exact amount lol thanks again!
this is when the whales need to step up and downvote and flag people
yes we need to concentrate more on the spammers scammers and the filth on here :) 100% with you.
Some people have no shame really !! Actually maybe this needs to be adressed and accounts actively begging to unknown idividuals should be cmlpiled in some invisible way, but repeated abusers be identified and flagged into invisibility @road2wisdom ??
Hi @gomeravibz I think if it continues and becomes a bigger problem they will be flagged let them ask the wrong person and I bet they get flagged down to the basement! The flip side is that I don't mind helping as a matter of fact I have helped out a few people on here with money but I knew them. I think this problem is even worse than a spammer this is some scammer out of the blue targeting what I have in my wallet at the moment and asking for help for that exact amount. While the other must have been high or low on his crack to ask me for $50sb lol Yes, I think you idea is great :)
I'm not sure where you would get such messages, but maybe it is like this:
Random Stranger in Chat: Can I ask you something?
Me: Yes you can. Search my tag "fitinfun" and find a post to comment on. Make a good comment about the post and then ask your question. I will be very glad to connect with you and help you if I can.
I have given this answer twice in a week when I go to steemit chat to promote my posts. The people ding me as soon as I get there and so I know not to talk to them.
This is why I do not chat lol.
I don't even get the chance sometimes to ask what they just ask for money or even worse the ones who try to kick it to me lol
I get them on discord! I tried the invisible approach I cant even be seen on a chat with out a follow follow a vote for vote and now money! I help ppl I know I don't mind even with cash on here but when a stranger asks me for the exact amount I have in my wallet I don't think its a coincidence and he has real emergency haha
lol - tell them to post their situation in a steemit post and you will look at it. I decided not to go into discord and I have not heard anything that changes my mind yet :)
HAHA That's a good one!
Hey - we are here to post, right? I have creeps on all my platforms but this one has not been too bad for me so far. I'm eager to be asked for money though and I will be ready now when if/it happens. Thanks for the head's up :)

Sometimes Steemit reminds me of the world lol. The Whales (the 1%), The Dolphins (execs with golden parachutes), and The Minnows (squirrels trying to get a nut!). @trendhobo
Remind me of the song from juice " I saw you walking in the rain" You just a squirrel trying to get a nut) hahaha
This whole site seems to be about money. I'm just new but it seems there are endless grovelling comments that are aimed at only earning money and votes. I love reading about people's lives and commenting as much as I can but Steemit seems to be a false economy of disingenuous interactions.
Lol, the balls on some people, sheesh. Even I had that happen, and my account is worth like less than 200 steem... I don't understand how some people just expect handouts like that. I wanna help people, but those that deserve it, I'm not just gonna throw money around, lol.
Yes I agree! I'm not going to give some stranger money to gamble it! I have noticed the spam and scams have gone down. The good people behind the scenes must be doing a great job. Thanks for commenting 😂
No problem :)
And I'm not gonna just give out money to people I don't know for no reason. Make a good post and I'll upvote (though it's at best 0.02steem), but don't just come around begging for my hard earned money. I worked for that. Sure some will say that posting on steemit isn't that hard work, and it maybe is not, I'm not a builder or anything, but it is work nonetheless. I didn't go around looking for accounts to just give me money, I wrote about stuff I like, and I research that stuff. So, it's still work, just not physical work.
I hear you lol and appreciate your comments Steemit is hard work as you pointed out, as I feel people get what they deserve. Kind of like you get what you put in! I have also helped a lot of people on here with money or materials they needed for steemit. But I knew them or it was for a good cause not some stranger who looked at my wallet and saw I had exactly 25 sd$ lol thanks have a great day :)
Well, you do also need a bit of luck to get noticed, but, that's a free market :)
And sure, I help out my friends or support causes I believe in, but I'm not just gonna give the stuff I work for to some rando, because they want to, lol.
Good day to you as well!
They are digging a grave they wont be able to get out of!
