Beware The Mrs Steemit Chat Scammer!
Warning, this post contains foul language and is a little coarse. Proceed at your own risk!
Last night seemed like just another night. Drinking a few beers and browsing Steemit. As I browsed I heard the familiar ping of the chats.
Aye aye, I thought. Is this some fodder for Uncle Boom?
I opened the chats up and there, much to my delight was a message from Mrs Steemit!!
Aw wasn't this nice. What man doesn't like a lovely lady dropping by to say hello? Although I did think, isn't that odd for her to say I have been around a long time. I mean, hasn't she?
Wait a minute... Could this be a scammer? I headed off to Steemit to check. Oh look, on Steemit it's mrs.steemit... note the full stop. This lady had no full stop.
Further investigation required. I would surely know she was a scammer is she asked me for money?
Oh, there we go! Straight in with the sob story and request for money! Note how she didn't want the money sent to her steemit account. If I had any doubts this was a scammer they were gone now.
Time to have some fun.
She wasn't one for the small talk. Just kept banging on about the sick child. I laid out my proposition.
She wasn't very responsive. I worried I was losing her. I decided to show willing and pretend to send the money.
That got her back. At the thought of the money coming, she was back chatting. I expressed my unease about sending to Bittrex though. She reassured me...
Oh, send it to the brother could I! Well that's alright then! I pretended that I would. Then I thought to ask for something in return.
It looked like norks is a universal term then because astonishingly and terrifyingly it worked. Well this was a surprise. I mean, to be quite frank, I had no interest in seeing her norks. I was only pulling her leg! What to do?
I decided now was the time to call him/her out for using Mrs Steemits name.
She never answered any questions about why she was using Mrs Steemits name. Just kept asking for the damned money. It was most uncouth.
I reassured her that I would send a photo of my wallet as evidence.
I mean, she really does. Or whoever that photo was of.
Anyway, I have alerted the admins of the chat and thought I would share my Saturday night entertainment with you.
Keep those dolphins noses safe! And stay alert for chat scammers!
Lucky you didn't see her dolphin nose...
It might have been sticking its tongue out at you 😳
It's always a worry!!! ;0)
A MOUSTACHE! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I know, can you see it ok? It's a pure manno moustache-o!
Yeah, I'm just not sure which one:
Lol, here might be an original!
I'm voting for the 1890's barber...or the 1/4 Mandrake
I like the sound of 1890s barber. In fact they both sound great!
Good move mr. Boom. The chat is really very funny. Atleast we caught her in the very beginning. Good job friend.
Cheers mate, gotta nip them in the bud!
that's scary .. this is not the first time
someone experienced this before
I have to laugh at your persistence to see the norks haha
I bet that one was flat :P
hahahahah
oh .. I made it tonight hehe
but now time to hit the bed dead tired ..
Aloha!!
It isnt the first time. They are an insidious lot. At first even though I was certain it was a scammer I was terrified it might actually be Mrs Steemit and I was being offensive which would backfire. Thank fully s soon as they asked for money to be sent to bittrex I knew I was safe!
Nice to see ya chica! Gnight!
well done boom!
Cheers m'dear! I led him/her a merry dance,!
You were right in everything except one... you should not have censored boobs. These things are just not meant for censorship. I'm sad :'(
You might have a point but they were very poor. Honestly, I was disappointed
Oh, ok maybe you have done wisely.
Uncovering the truth as always, and in more ways than one.
The gumshoe, that's what's they call me!
I died at the nork pic!!!
I really did not expect it!!! Lolz!
My loud chortling livened up our home office this afternoon. Now I suppose I'd better get back to work...
Work, the curse of the drinking classes! Or just a curse lol i go back tomorrow. I have the heebs
Working for yourself is better in many ways- bar two drawbacks. If you don't work, you don't earn any money, but the bills keep rolling in. And you never go home from work. But you can slip onto Steemit without the boss complaining.
Yeah, If I could steemit at work that would be a fine thing. Then again I wouldnt get anything done lol!
That is indeed a great way you handled the situation but i guess many new users will fall for this trap and end up loosing some SBD.
I think they would, especially at the thought of doing someone with power and influence on ths site a favour
Yeah ,hope that never comes to bad to handle !
