Hello My fellow steemians !

hope you guys are fine and hope you guys never have to face what I'm explaining to you now.

So I was scrolling through my feeds when suddenly, I came across this tittle -

"Warning: There's A New Scam To Steal Your Steemit Account"

And as I clicked the link, I was presented with an article explaining what it is. According to the article, scammers are posing as an whale will message you and would lure you by saying he/she wants to share some of his balance to you so that you can do some good with it and in this case he was asked to help his mother country with that money.

afterwords scammer would send you a link to a form which would ask you for your wif key(password key)

well the writer in our case was smart enough to discuss it with other users and eventually was able to deflect the scam.

We all should learn from this incidence and understand that there is no shortcut to make money and specially no one is going to give you his/her hard earned money just like that.

so, that's it, for this blog

I hope you will like it and any suggestions are happily welcomed.

Thank you :-D
