Thanks for the follow! Some bots can be identified through database queries but finding spammers/scammers require the investigative skill, manual effort and patience of users like @sherlockholmes and @spaminator.
We cannot really find unique individuals as steemit does not track that data and if people wish they can hide their alternate accounts really well.

Well, @sherlockholmes has identified several thousand bots, at least, and others have also, I think. These can at least be subtracted from the total, providing a more accurate figure. Perhaps those folks might also be able to point to other networks, or provide an estimate for the size of such, that could refine your figures some.
Yes, I will check that. Might not be able to do so till next week as I might will be away.
