What a disturbing story!!
Scammed, lost, lonely - is there an upside to be found?
This sounds like me granting permissions to SteemAuto despite warnings not to do this if I don't know what I'm doing (others assured me I can safely ignore that message).
I filled out my name, the delivery address and didn't hesitate as the bill was shown on the screen and I was asked again if I was sure about my choice and agreed with the rules. I paid and felt relieved. It would only take ten days.
For a long time I resisted apps and extensions because of this message:
Please leave Steemauto if you don't understand how it works or what it does. You could harm your Steem account if you change settings that you do not understand.
Finally, I tried it, and now the "harm" has apparently been done.
So I'm still posting via steemit not steempeak, and still Late to the Party.
Your story sums up my situation all too well!
That message scared me for a long time too and I had no clue what it meant. The fact is if you do not sign you always lose and can not join anything, same with the cookies message, and somehow you always miss the party or get harmed in a bay. After such a message you only feel more stupid. ☹
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope you all are safe and in good health. 💕
