Public Service Announcement (PSA) - FAKE SITE: STEEMIL - PHISHING ATTACK ! ! ! BEWARE ! ! !

I have recieved the same type of phishing attack from 3 different accounts in the last 24 hours.

The Phishing Attack is a FAKE MESSAGE FROM GRUMPYCAT

The message looks to be from GrumpyCat, but it is not and you have not been flagged.
Do not click on the links - they go to a fake steem site and want you to enter keys.
There is a fake site / copy of steemit and it is steemil. That's an "L" not "T" at the end. Do not put your keys in that fake site.

The Phishing Attack is a FAKE MESSAGE FROM GRUMPYCAT

This attack is focused on the emotion folks have against GrumpyCat, by being a fake message from GrumpyCat.
So, when someone reads the flag message, it appears with the same image and text from GrumpyCat.

The Attack is coming from MANY COMPROMISED ACCOUNTS

I recieved the phishing attack from three different accounts: sek3, kilbride, mrs-yammy.
These accounts have been hacked / stolen and used in the phishing attacks. There are more.

Here is an image of the Phishing Attack from the FAKE GRUMPYCAT.

Thank you for the heads up. I don’t follow any of the comment requests to pay for this or follow that...great post my friend👍🏼🍺🥓

Thanks, I didn't want anybody to fall for this.

Yeah, I was already wondering why I had a steemil.com tab open, now I know where it came from. Noticed it straight away though, due to the fact that I wasn't logged in anymore.

I'm glad that you did not login / give your keys to the fake site.

Yeah, that's the benefit of using a secure password manager and seeing that the login didn't get autocompleted :)

Very good information and thanks for sharing.
Ok buddy

Thank you very much for the info. I have been receiving offers from several accounts: I send them .5 or 1 SBD and they will flood my articles with upvotes. Is this true ? Is it an ethical procedure ? Is it approved by steemit ?

Thank you so much @goldkey for sharing and altering all of us.

information is so good.thank you.

Thanks for sharing this information. One member of our #newbieresteemday had her account compromised yesterday from the phishing scam. I resteemed to help spread awareness to our newbie communities.

I hope nobody else falls for it. Thanks for the resteem

Me too. Shame that they brought phishing on to this platform but Steemit is a reflection of the real world. So no surprise there. np on RS. My thoughts, why re-write when someone expressed it perfectly already? 😉

Happily resteem to spread the words to our newbie community.

Congratulations you have been resteemed as part of #newbieresteemday's top posts for the day!
