I transferred 3sbd to my friend @favoursampson (who introduced me to steemit) yesterday to help me sell as usual(since I'm not on Telegram)

Unfortunately, this fraud @uniquepita private chatted her and pretended to be a genuine buyer. We found out later, that we were scammed by this @uniquepita, hours after which I didn't receive a credit alert from my bank.

We also found out from @uniquepita's wallet that, he had also scammed several other unsuspecting steemeans and sold them off immediately @blocktrades.
This fraud @uniquepita is living off the sweat and hardwork of minnows like me, after we spend hours or even days to research and compose our posts and then have some fraud take all the results of our hard work away, that's unfair. I burst into tears yesterday when I was told I was scammed. Anyway, I am wiser now👀 and i've learnt my lesson.
I have already spread the word to my friends who i introduced to steemit @vik3 ,@charleswealth , @maylilo and several others.

Fellow minnows, please be careful with how you exchange your sbd/steem. Only transact with tested, trusted and confirmed exchange groups on Telegram.

I humbly request🙏 @steemitcleaners, @steemitboard and every other possible steemit authority on steemit to block/ban @uniquepita's steemit account, before he scams more people.
And I also humbly suggest that Steemitboard/developers/authority input a criminal record check during the approval waiting period for every intending steemean to ensure the security of steemit community.
Steemit is supposed to be safe and protect it's members unlike Facebook or any other social media platform, or am I wrong?.
Kindly look into this please.
Thank You.

Thanks for the info. I’m sorry it happened to you.

You are welcome @toddcurry. It's the little I can do to protect minnows.

This is really bad...

:( so sorry to hear that

I am sorry to hear that... :(

That's terrible to have such cowards on here, but it's like the real world; take a look at this article, I've been scammed on my blockchain.info account and tell about it too https://steemit.com/ethereum/@loonyfool/scam-alert-never-do-anything-with-this-eth-address-and-never-leave-anything-online-too-long-especially-on-blockchain-info

Oh my goodness. You too?. Will sure do.
Thanks for stopping by @loonyfool

No prob, beware of your wallets, never keep anything online, that's too risky. MyEtherwallet is the best service I guess, there's an interesting way to connect on it without giving your private key, only gotta install that Metamask application on Chrome or Firefox. I'm still building it, as it will be possible to build a wallet on my USB key then. 0% chance that a coward gets it then. Or I will buy a ledger too. Interesting possibilities.

I'd sure do. Once beaten twice shy.
Thanks for the heads up👍

Yes at first I was telling myself why have a ledger? But now I see it's not something so useless and it's a good investment to stop worrying about online hacking issues.
