WARNING - @hugewhale Ripp-Off

WARNING - @hugewhale ripp-off and many others just like it, if you are new to steem you are constantly looking for ways to maximize your earnings and to get noticed. Using Bid-Bots or buying upvotes is one way, then the not too way is the one I'm writing about.

@hugewhale is one of many ripp-off's out there charging 0.7 $SBD for a resteem 30 + upvotes and new followers...
Yes I'm writing about this major mistake I made giving it a try. How did I come to know about this service? When browsing through my wallet and transactions I noticed that I had received 0.001 STEEM with the following message - "Promote your post. Send 0.700 SBD / 1.0 STEEM and url in memo and your post will be resteemed with over 8.000+ followers , Min 30+ Upvote , Hugewhale Upvote . Your post will be more popular and you will find new friends. Send 0.700 SBD or 1.0 STEEM to @hugewhale ( URL as memo ) Service Active".

So I gave it a go and tied it in order to see what and how it would turn out for me. BIGGEST MISTAKE on Steemit so far. I send the 0.7 $SBD and the post link in the memo and wated...
24 hours later I can Report the following;

• I had recieved 30 upvotes as promised all with 15% upvote and with no more than 15 SP each giving me an upvote of about $0.02.
• Connections, follows or comments? Nothing, all the comments on the posts are either from alternate Bid-Bots that I used or my regular followers.
• My post was resteemed to the 8000+ followers, but may I add following @hugewhale is one of the requirements of making use of this ripp-off service.

Today alone I recieved 3 other services like the one mentioned above which you can see in my wallet history.

Don't get me wrong I am not bad mouthing anyone, but when it comes to scams and fraudsters I have to expose them and I wan't to warn other steemians not to fall for these tricks. If anyone knows of how people like these can get reported or addressed I would like to hear about it.
