we all have different people we help with upvotes on steemit and when they send us links, we just upvote without checking if the link is actually the right one.

the screenshot below is a very good example. as you can see, my steemit profile loaded well and you will think its just a normal steemit website, but the "T" was replaced with "L" making it "sleemit".

please avoid logging into your steemit with your password, alwasy use posting key . just add your password only when you want to transfer and dont save the password on your browser when you are done transferring.

big thanks to @enolife for alerting me

If you use a browser extension such as LastPass to manage your passwords, you will be totally immune to these tricks because it checks the url programmatically.

Hey man, thanks for sharing this.
I'm more wary of the kind of links some steemians sent to my DM.
This tells better.

Thank you!

This is serious. And they'll be sending me different links for contests and others. This is really an eye opener

Ayam telling you, you just need to cross check before clicking
