I appreciate the reply, I have reached out to the email you have provided with further detail. Any sort of reply or response indicating this account is real would be perfect. Thank you @vicenews.

P.S.

• Keep in mind Steemit Inc is a separate entity from the STEEM blockchain. You may be verified on Steemit.com however as miner/curator on the STEEM blockchain I have no way of telling if you are real or not. I am in no way affiliated with Steemit inc. This is a decentralized platform and has no central operating authority. With that said I am a fan of Vice News and would be happy to support your content with an upvote if you are legitimate. Im sure many others here would do the same as well.
