I just received a 0.001 SBD transfer from @gtg.witnesses who is currently sending a small amount to many other Steem accounts. He pretends to give away SBD rewards on behalf of @gtg, but this account and website has nothing to do with @gtg.
@gtg is a known and respected witness I have voted for. He would never ask for login credentials.
The website pretends to redirect you to Steemconnect.com to login to your Steem account and to claim your reward, but you are not actually being redirected. A filthy phishing attempt. If you login you expose your password to the owner of this website!
Never give away your Steem private keys!

Thank you for bringing attention to this.
Obviously that's a scam. No one should ever trust such messages.
Not to mention that it's just stupid. Everyone voting for me should already know (by reading my posts) to not leak their keys!

Thanks for the heads up.
Well received. Whenever it is too good, hard to be true. Just be careful.
Desperate moves require desperate measures.
Thanks for this advice. Whenever someone send you any link to check if you are not use to it, just give up.
Keep on steemin'

Thank you for sharing... Don't share your private keys And always say no to scam.
It's amazing how desperate some folks can be. Scamming others of their hard earned sbd.
Thanks for the heads up @penguinpablo.
and many of them not so hard earned ;)
but it's another thing
Hard-earned or not, stealing from other people is wrong!.
no question about it
Great heads up, @penguinpablo.
So all apps using steemconnect go through steemconnect.com? And if the url begins differently at the login page, it's a bogus?
Well, I never.... (I heard about a similar thing on ebay existing so naturally, steemit will be a victim of its own success someday - that day being now, I guess.)
Any chance someone can get his scam site closed down? Who would one report him to?
v1.steemconnect is effectively the same as steemconnect, here?
I'm a bit green. ;)
Ps. The secure / not secure part that precedes the URL - can we go off that when deciding if something's safe or not?
Yes, it's a subdomain of the same domain.
thanks alort for the information sir.
their are many fake sites trying to dupe individuals thank once more @penguinpablo
permit me to copy the post to educated others sir
Yes, thank you for informing others.
Thanks so much for warning us on this. Will not give away my Steem private keys to this site, as you suggested. ;)
thanks for the warning
upvoted and resteemed
tnx for the info
Wow filthу ѕсаmmеr, thanks a lot fоr spreading thе wоrd
정보 감사해요.
사기꾼이 판을 치는 군 요.
Thanks for the alert!
Well spotted. Thanks for that. It was just a matter of time before scammers started targeting Steemit.
thank you for this very valuable information @penguinpablo, I have ne resteem your post so that every follower I can read it and more carefully again to trust anyone.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a member of @newbieresteemday, which began as a resteem day (pretty obvious, I know:) for new people to help give the good posts some extra visibility, but has since grown into a large community who welcomes as well as supports, educates and mentors new and not-so-new folks. Of course @gtg wouldn't be asking for private keys, but what might seem like pretty obvious information here to most people, it might be invaluable information to someone just starting out. I'm coming back here as the @newbieresteem account and resteeming this to our feed. Thank you so much! Cheers :)
Red signal...red signal....... red signal...
Be care for the scam account of steemitrewards.com.
Many many thanks Sir @penguinpablo, for the alerting blog.
