Introducemyself: I am @sherlockholmes and I am here to investigate!
Dear Steemians,
The recent rise of spam, fake-accounts, plagiarism and hatespeech has become unbearable! I am starting my work here today. I will look for and warn about spammers, fakers and trolls! If you see anything suspicious, do let me know. Send me a comment or a transaction with a memo. I will look at any case and report any suspicious findings here. My first case is a Nigerian prince type of story, only in this case, our Nigerian prince is impersonating a pencil-artist with blatantly stolen images and lies here on steemit.com. yours,
Sherlock
If you see anything suspicious, don't just ignore it and move on... let me know!
you can find me on steemit.chat as @sherlockholmes, too!
Hello and Welcome to Steemit. I hope you will enjoy Steemit as much as I do. See you around! :-)
I wish you the best! and hope to see you soon.
Welcome @sherlockholmes. Good to have you here.

This post has seem to have caught the usual comment spammers.
Sometimes the investigation starts at your own front door.
No surprise there, it's tagged #introduceyourself... basically a spam magnet ;)
I am not so much looking for the average comment-spammer, though, those are obvious to everyone.
I am looking for more serious scams and nefarious activities.
My few cases so far have revealed some scams and fake-accounts already.
Good luck with it...hopefully you don't snag some whale's tale in the process.
It will happen eventually, I have no doubts. But until it does, I will stay vigilante!
'To a great mind, nothing is little,' remarked Holmes, sententiously.
A question I've had along time on this platform is who is @everyone and @warren-buffett. There are a lot of rich postless accounts.
Hi again Sherlock! Got a plagiarist for you: https://steemit.com/@kaouimal
He's pretty rude when called out too! Calls me names and such! He still has a $30 payout pending on a plagiarised post as we speak...
Wonderful! He's gone :)
The community really had my back here, so happy :-)
Welcome to Steem @sherlockholmes I have upvoted and sent you a tip
Welcome to Steemit @sherlockholmes. Love the name you picked and I'm happy to see you doing the good work you're doing :D
Haha...easy investigation....already 2-3 spam posts right there on your article.
Can I ask what your main Steemit handle is?
Hope you can get some good work done...peace!
I'd rather not state my real handle ;) I'm sure you'll understand.
I am starting with small fish, but I am sure the flag-storms will be coming.
I do. Its just going to be hard to do much on your own. I hope you already know how to pass stuff on...I am still learning that process...trying to.
Well, we are of a same mind...so I wish you the best!!
Hey man. While I am not Sherlock, I do know how to contact them. So anything you find you can send to me and I can pass it along.
@swelker101
I appreciate that!
yeap, I know the channels...
Definitely understandable. The hate people get for flagging someone easily gets out of hand. I'm looking forward to your reports.
