Dear Steemit Team,
My friend and country representive of Ghana @oppongk just informed me of a disaster that has happened to him this morning.
My heart broke upon hearing the unfortunate news that his account has been HACKED alongside other ghanaian steemians by another airdrop campaign claiming to be giving out steem tokens.
Because it provided details with steemconnect to make it look legitimate, he went ahead to log in with hopes of claiming the said airdrop.
Unfortunately, he logged onto the site with his master key and it seems the fraudsters have changed it along with his other keys.
All his SBD have been sent to the @contestbuddy account and a POWERDOWN has now been intiated and he is about to lose all his hard earned tokens to these tricksters.
Other ghanaian steemians who fell prey
Please, if there is anything the steemit team (@steemcurator01, @@@steemcurator02, @steemitblog)/ technical experts of steem can do to help rescue these accounts, we would be highly grateful.
oh man this is not good and pisses me off bigtime, hopefully something can be done as he is a GREAT Steemian
I hope so too. He is one of the best.
I really hope that something can be done about this we need to make all steem users aware about these sort of scams
We definitely should. These people are looking to ruin steem and I think every community must know about it.
💯 it seems they are definitely trying to ruin steemit every community needs to make a post about these sort of scams and pin there community
What bad news, my friend.
We must be on the lookout for such false advertising,
We must educate users not to use the master keys for anything in other applications.
It was very unfortunate and we must all learn from this, very sad event.
