Scam, scam –everywhere!

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Be aware when you use steemit. This time the phishing attempt came as a .001 SBD memo from one of the witnesses I vote for. @gtg. The impersonator uses an account called @gtg.witnesses and the memo contains a link to a phishing site. Do not attempt to claim "free" SBD from any source outside your wallet!

The memo from the scammer links to this site:

Full text reads like this:

Message from gtg:
Thank you for voting me as a witness!
I decided to give back to my voters 10% of my total witness earnings.
I random pick 100 users who voted me, every week and send them 10% of my witness earnigs from that week!
Hope to enjoy your reward and keep voting me as witness on Steemit for more rewards!

The grammar suggests English is not the persons language.

Don't be a fool and give away your credentials!

omgee, thank you so much for sharing! I would surely fall for this if I didn't read your post.

Thanks for the information ... I will be careful in using the witness .. I think the fake account is very dangerous.

This was NOT a witness. It was someone PRETENDInG to be a witness.
