RE: The Winter Soldier Living in STEEMit
Very interesting find! I Re-Steemed in hopes of some more people taking a look and looking deeper into this.
EDIT: If you change "scam" to "spam", you might get a stronger response / better response team.
I have a feeling it is too big for one person to figure out.
I agree. Although, I decided to expand on some analysis that I was running on my own account, and apply it to all accounts, and stumbled upon this comment chain. It's a little odd to see so many comments with over 1k votes, don't you think?
I was looking into sumowrestler's activity when I saw this whole chain of multiple accounts receiving 1k+ votes and 400+ votes. I feel like someone already noted paradise-found as a spammer / scammer. I'm not sure about the others...
Since this is all 2+ months old the payouts are already sent for these transactions, but maybe we can prevent further abuse!
HINT: right click the picture, and open in new tab for larger view.
Wow, that's a much bigger scam than I found.
If you look at @sumowrestler transfers, you will find webfoot, gashog and greenlantern. Nothing much there. But, @islander transferred to @streemian , who is a Whale with 25,000 STEEM Power
Eh, this one is just a lot of old noise. Most of the culprits have been identified and are being held in check. Granted, they do keep on trying, so it's still good to keep an eye on them.
I found a newer scam with a Spanish speaker. I posted about it on my blog. Seems that these scammers aren't only English Speakers!
@sherlockholmes says the has a huge list based on my post already.
I believe it... I spent a short time lookin across all of the spammers and found dozens. I can only imagine how many he's found with the amount of time he's been able to dedicate to his efforts!
Done. Thanks for the tip.
