SCAM ALERT: @anamaria22 and SLeemit

in #scam7 years ago (edited)

I got a comment from user @anamaria22 asking me to take a look at their post. The link says sTeemit but it takes you to sLeemit. It's an exact clone of steemit.com but you need to log in again which of course I didn't do.

Strangely it takes me to another username's post on the clone site. Looking at their profile, there is no activity other than these phishing link comments. One other person has replied and told them to f-off but there are other comments that have been sent out too over the last hour or so. 

I left a polite reply asking them to explain themselves if this is legitimate but it clearly isn't. Take care with this one, share if you so wish and remain vigilant! Make it a routine to glance up at the website address to confirm you're actually on steemit.com (or relevant Steem site/app). 

Also, always be very wary of clicking on links from people you don't know. Anything that makes you need to log in again is always a sign (so double-check when Steemit is having problems). As is rep 25 with no picture!

Anyway, stay safe out there Steemies! ;)

Can someone tell me the name of that legitimate Steemit clone site? People were taking about it the other day when there was an issue. Not Busy etc, there was one called steem*****.com

Thank you for your kind information we will alert to this
