Hello steemit friends,
today in my usual fight against spammers, I came across this scam operation.
In fact @hottopic use @minnowbooster images to promote his service (upvote and resteem).
It's increbible how he made this without any interest for consequences.
Here the proof:
@hottopic page:
https://steemit.com/@hottopic/comments
@minnowbooster page:
As you can see, @hottopic use a IDENTICAL LOGO, I think it's most likely that some users could think @hottopic is @minnowbooster affiliate.
I think that this is a very serious event.. I reported this to @steemcleaners and wrote this post because I would warn you against this kind of scam operation.
PLEASE RESTEEM this post to help as many steemitians as possible.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately there are a lot of shady characters out there looking to take advantage of people, so we all must do our part to protect the community from these tricks. Your vigilance is appreciated.
I try to do my best to do my part to keep clean Steemit from scammers and spammers.You're welcome @cryptomancer!
Upvoted and resteemed. Bloody scammers.
Thanks @techslut ;-)
thanks @miti , your post help my work , many spammers work in steemit .
agin thanks and Good luck
You're welcome.
If only hot-topic would send more than just 0.001 STEEM to everyone it wants to follow them... like say 15-20 Steem, that would get me on board... I just hope people weren't damaged too much.
I hope too... it's incredible he's still active!
Would it help if multiple individuals reported to steemcleaners? I only resteemed.
I don't know.... I warned @minnowbooster owner in discord chat.
He tried to bought me at 0.01 steem 4 days ago.
Upvoted and resteemed.
He made the same thing with other users. Thanks ;-)
Thanks for the warning! It would be nice if the scammers would take a day off.
There are no days off for scammers and spammers...
