Warning Someone is Creating Fake Exchange Accounts on Steemit (SCAM ALERT)

in #scam6 years ago

I reported this yesterday and since then there are many more accounts created

Someone is making accounts that are similar to Steemit Exchange accounts and now similar to upvote bots. Here is the list of accounts created since yesterday. I've seen one account that is similar to a dolphin account. They are harder to identify unless I already know the account. I'm haven't even gotten a full list. I'm sure this scammer is going to start creating similar accounts to everyone on this Steemit system.

Here is a partial list of the accounts created in the last 24 hours.

That is not the entire list. There are many more.

I'm sure the intention is to have these accounts names similar so that someone could make a transfer to an exchange or an upvote bot with a typo and send the currency to the scam account.

Someone is creating these accounts for free and they are getting through the Steemit approval process. STEEM Inc needs to put a stop to it.

If you know how to report this to STEEM Inc, please do so.

thanks for sharing!
this looks like somebody is preparing to rip newbies...

always keep your eyes open!

Thanks for sharing this. It will be very helpful in the future

You're the best, Socky!! Thank goodness we have alert veterans here to keep an eye out for crap like this. HUGE KUDOS, MAN!!!

I try. As long as people are aware and cautious, then these accounts will not affect anything. I think STEEM approval process could use someone double checking the accounts before they are approved.

Absolutely. Someone who knows the membership well would have smoked all those accounts out immediately and easily.

Resteeming for awareness

This means that community is going to claim that steemit users have increased in the month of June.

No wonder the million user mark didn’t mean much geez how is it so easy to create new user accounts I remember waiting weeks before my account was approved

same thing with me mate
