RE: Don't get TRICKED - Watch out for SCAMMERS on Steemit Chat! 😨
Unfortunately he can easily hide behind a VPN or something similar and just make another account to continue his scamming. It will never end. All we can do is educate the user base!

Thanks for your input :)
No problem! This is an issue everywhere. 90% of breaches in businesses are due to social engineering like you encountered here. Humans are usually the weakest link when it comes to security.
