Steemit Community Please Read This - Long Steemit

Despite my previous publication about increasing rate of stealing steemit.com accounts. Steemit.com account owners still fall prey of this determined scam artist.

TIPS TO OUT SMART THEM

Never trust link, especially in the comment section that demands your private keys or password.

Do ground check of any third party, before associating with them.

My Story, My Experience - Hard One Though.

It received a comment from @johnson13. Telling me about 30 days free UpVote service. Which I fell for. I followed the link to steembotup.ml. I provided my steemit.com username and password. Five minutes later, I lost my access to my account.

When I viewed my account on https://steemd.com/@paulcoin. I saw that my Steem Dollar is gone. Closer look at my account details, I saw that contestbuddy have transfer my Steem Dollar to his or her account. Also check https://steemd.com/@contestbuddy. As at the time of posting this article contestbuddy have not written any article on Steemit.com. That is he has added no value to this wonderful community but he or she has transferred big value out of steemit via bittrex. This account is less than 60 days old.

Lesson learned: Never click any LINK in the comment area, Steemit Team don't have 100% control. Because privacy nature of Cryptocurrency They can suspend reported account.

Guess there will be many foot soldiers like @johnson13, working tirelessly to pull people to steembotup.ml system. Then the big boss @contestbuddy will pounds and empty unsuspecting account.

I will like Steemit Team to take necessary steps against them.
