Hi @steemchiller, could you please take a look at this comment!
Again, I do not know who to address in such cases on this blockchain. I'm sure it's a scam.
Thank you very much! (for everything)

Hi, if you see something like this, the best way is to inform the owner of the account (by replying to one of the scam comments or so) that his account has been taken over and is being used to spread scam links.

In case their keys have not been changed by the scammer, they can just change their master password:

Otherwise they need to initiate an account recovery request:

Thank you for the useful information! I thought I should report the account to someone or somewhere. Besides, I thought that directly contacting the affected user could be potentially dangerous because, how could I be sure I'm writing to the real owner...
Anyway. Thank you!

P.S. And in this case, it is exactly what @inspiracion wrote in another comment - I cannot imagine that a user from July 2017 doesn't know what to do in this case. That's why it seemed highly suspicious to me.

Never underestimate human stupidity! Nobody gets hacked by clicking a link. They basically hacked themselves, because they literally gave away the keys for their house to a thief (they really entered their private key on an unknown website). I've seen people with reputation > 70 doing this, so trust me, the level of stupidity is infinite in humanity's current state of mind ;)

You are right, of course! I saw it on bigger accounts too (animal-shelter, stolen on both platforms). Basically people's greed and stupidity have no boundaries. I'm not an expert either, but at least I know that the world is NOT full of people who just give away some money 😁, as the phishing comments claim in many cases. There is simply no such thing as a 'free lunch', you always pay for everything, and in this case - even much more.

Some guys are using my account to spam. Please how do I stop them?

You must change your passwords, to regain control of your account, do it as soon as possible
