Wanted to provide this resource to my fellow abuse fighters to assist the investigation of the SMT rings.

---

The below is a MongoDB query I crafted which may be plugged into Robo3T to pull comments from the "SMT" scamming networks for action.

DBQuery.shellBatchSize = 1000;
db.getCollection('Comments').find({$and : 
    [{'body': {$regex: /smt /, $options: 'i' }},{$where: 'this.body.length <7'},{'created': {$gte: ISODate("2018-03-29T00:00:00.000Z")}}]})

Looks like SteemData is a bit behind. Not seeing comments past the 2nd. Perhaps, someone with a more up to date DB can get better use out of this. Maybe, @duplibot.

Anyways, this will pull comments that are less than 7 characters and have 'SMT ' in the body (case insensitive).

These accounts are using delegations from @steem but the accounts have a strange pattern. I believe this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Checked out that post which is using @postpromoter. I suspect this plagiarized from Facebook due to the similarity in formatting. I don't have the time to chase it down but definitely something off about it. It's tag misuse at the very least.

And what's up with the phone screenshot at the bottom? Just strange.

I've contacted @yabapmatt but nothing back yet. Appreciate anybody's thoughts on what the heck is going on here.

BOLO for a Steemflagrewards update tomorrow err... I mean today!
