'Steemit Spam Scumbags' | Avoiding Collusion with Crypto Crooks
The 'SSS' are literally doing nothing but profiting off other's posts. For someone new to the platform, or still unfamiliar, an opportunity to be seen for a 'small amount of steem' seems more than ok!
I received this message this morning, haven't gotten one like it since I first started using the platform last year.
This screenshot above reveals: https://steemit.com/@jones420 (so I check it out)
As you can see this guy is posting literally nothing, the transparency of the blockchain is beautiful, and this guy is just resteeming and upvoting...
Not only are these scumbags promoting an absolute bullshit offer with their army of upvote bots, they end up hurting the user as it seems like collusion (even though new users just want their posts to be seen).
One thing so astounding to me is how STUPID these people are, they are promoting this scam to literally everyone! At least they are in essence burying their own grave, but this really has to end.
And also note the constant power downs on this account, he is leeching 5-8 steem a week I figure, and honestly that is too much!
If there are nearly 10k spam accounts all leeching at once, we will witness the destruction of this eco system. Promote quality, for the love of the future. @sherlockholmes @sadkitten
FLAG FLAG FLAG! Just flag anything robotic, steemit doesn't need that. We want real people with real things to offer. And any comment on your post that is blatantly non human, just look into their profile and flag their last post. You wouldn't let trash pile up on your front yard would you?
Edit: As you can see this army of downvotes is flagging my posts, we need to put and end to this bullshit. Honestly!
@jones420 is a scammer also. He created thousands of accounts and is using those to upvote people's posts, telling them they are getting 200 upvotes from real users.
@pfunk already commented about him being a scammer here (about the 3rd comment): https://steemit.com/news/@danyelk/your-daily-crypto-news-on-steemit-august-05-2017#@carlobelgado/re-danyelk-re-face2face-re-pfunk-201785t202445556z-20170805t152906039z
He has also hacked @msg768's messaging tool and is spamming the entire blockchain with his scam.
Just get the info out, and bury this wimp.
he gave exactly what he was advertising.
please stop sending me that memo.
Thanks,hy @bago, happy to get to know you ,, regards from @ itikna09, great success greetings, please in vote and his comments blog @ itikna09, follow me ,,,
:O
Thank you for sharing this info. A friend of mine used it for me, so I used for him too. But it was a total scam. :P
how can you hack an open source code?
You are a fucking bastard ... Steemit is a respectable social media, with good peoples ... go to another place with your scam ... @Jorgevallarosa thank you i follow you
Stay calm, disregard his words, and flag him. He will drown in his own pool soon enough.
You're right. We tried just for fun with a friend, and we were really disappointed. Just a botting network.
Cheers mate.
idiot and you wonder why only people new to steemit use your services!
Amen...
@brandonk I noticed the same, without knowing your post - I described it here. Unfortunately I cannot resteem your post anymore, but maybe you can do this with mine? Let's spread the word about this shit - people are still being robbed by this guy - a lot of user believe in what he is saying ;/
I can name 3 people off the top my head spamming their resteem "service" for ONLY 2 Steem. All their followers are from their follow for follow crap too so even if they resteem your post you won't get your 2 Steem back. Bunch of clowns!
Make a post listing those other names. We want to be targeted by these people, it only brings them out of the shadows.
But remember, spamming is if they are sending messages to non-followers. If you are a follower of someone, they can send you messages. Then it's up to you to unfollow them if you don't want to hear from them again. The only one I know of who is spamming non-followers (they don't have an option to unfollow and stop his messages) is @jones420.
It is very tempting for a new comer (like me) to take up these offers because its very hard to get noticed, and I must say that I do feel that there are people colluding to help each other to make money on this site.

...is the main account @jones420 uses for his exchanges and spam and what not, it seems he has delegated power from somewhere, I don't know how that works really, but it's time to recognize...and abolish.
Update to this post:
I am now being spammed by this smug, and poorly dressed chap. I hope he knows he is just giving me more money, lol.
Damn, man. Enjoy the free SBD! Wish people would send me free tokens all day...
I was hoping he'd keep it up all day! lmao
another wallet spammer :3
another *asshole lol
exactly. all u have to do is follow countless of users here, then start wallet spamming. ez profit!
Now you answer my newbie question here!!!! Hahaha, I told myself is this even allowed here? Tsktsktsk. Hopefully you will find others posts in an honest to goodness real user way.
I am now into my third post here as a newbie, may you find time reading it. Regards.
Thanks for this info
Of course! Please resteem so we can stop this madness! Everyone deserves a fair shot, nobody should be ripped off!
