Scam Accounts on Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

I just checked this account= @blcoktrades, and in the image above you can see it receives money from all of these other accounts which are the names of several exchanges spelled wrong. I had heard about this before, but it is just now that I happened to see this.

The only good one is the transfer to bittrex all the others are bots I guess.

Now what happens here, you are going to send a certain amount to an exchange like blocktrades.us and you type the address instead of copy- pasting it, you mistakenly write blcoktrades and bam this account receives your Steem or SBD. I mean that is a creative way of making a profit off of people's mistakes, frankly these guy or guys is really smart and an opportunity seeker.

Of course I know what he does is actually stealing but you have to admit he or she is very smart, he saw an opportunity and is taking advantage of it.

You can look up all of the names on that image and all of them do the same thing

Sort:  

No lo llamaria an "opportunity seeker," pero si es algo listo...
Jumm, chica lista.
