BEWARE OF SCAMMERS ON STEEMIT:-FINAL NOTE


Hi ladies and gentlemen on steemit. I greet you and and I wish everyone many more steem and sbd to your wallet.


Two days ago,i promise to continue from where I stop on the topic "Beware of scammers on steemit". I only opened and enlighten us on just a particular phased, but today we will be looking at other ways by which they also operates.


I was browsing through the internet, on steemit checking my feeds when I saw a post of @onealfa on how this people operates. I resteem that particular post in other to get more view and at most so that my followers can also learn something i have benefit from. This is just like a resounding warning to everyone to be aware of what looms out there


In his post, he made emphasis on some certain steemit account when you check them you see a post of less than 5 hours old with over 200 upvote and gainig about $70-$100. You think a whale has just arrived on steemit, but when you scrutinized the account, you will be shocked to see that the account is less than a week old with little post and less than 10 followers. The question is where is all this huge upvote coming from? You call it a miracle nah! That is the work of thief of steem power?


Take a look at his explanations on how they work and operate in stealing steem power and his own experience.

ONE DAY Genius

>Thief of Steem-power

Somehow I was coming again and again this last week wondering, why does my SP recovering so slow. Today I checked my outgoing votes TAB, and was rather shocked - I have made already many 100% upvotes today, on the posts which I could not really remember seeing before. This is what I found:

I started to open those posts, and ...could not believe my eyes - most of them were true shit-posts, simple meme copypastes, etc etc. I would never ever upvote on such a posts even with my 0.1% of SP power. What is going on ???

The first thing which ring to my mind was "minnowbooster"! I had registered to that service before, and it was upvoting on my behalf time to time, for some small rewards. Went to check my account there , and nothing suspicious was found. None of these today upvotes were listed there. Yet one quite strange thing noted there - I could not withdraw my pending balance on a numerous attempts. I tried my best - nothing worked. I felt confused.

Then I went back to the list of my upvotes ( see above) and started checking each post one-by one, trying to see how on earth all these posters managed to be so successive. Most of them were already collected $60-$280, and even more.
Very soon I discovered, that TOP upvoters on each post repeats, again and again. And again.

This is a short collection of my copy-pastes of these upvoters:

My active password must be compromised !

And , ...I am not the only one! There are a bunch of dolphin accounts compromised, and all them used now to steel the steem power, by upvoting some garbage posters.
Naturally , the very first think I did was changing all my Steemit passwords. ALL.
Then I continued my research. I checked all posts from these SEVEN Steemit users, on which my upvotes been executed in the last 24 hours.

CHANGE YOUR passwords immediately !

And once you are done - you may go and do your own research, where your upvotes been going OUT latel

This was @onealfa experience and how he tackled it


Be careful and know how you handle you steemit password. Never be in a rush to always provide your steemit password in most site. And lastly beware of links that will redirect you to other site and asking of your steemit password.
