The Reward Pool Was Gangbanged

Hi Steemians

Many new accounts are recently created to rob Steemians. Different techniques and strategies to get their master keys, steal their SBD and transfer it to Bittrex. I think the most of you are already aware of this and read a post about phishing links lately. If not then do your own research and be careful. If you see anything similar to this, dont click on any link. They can trick you with different ways "Gain 1000 followers" or "Get Free Upvots" etc.

This account is active now and stole many other accounts. Used them to comment on other users posts and trap them. Many other new accounts are already involved. They dont write posts or comments, but receive the stolen money and transfer to Bittrex.

Now the question is! How are they able to open many account in a short period of time, while genuine users have to wait for days and sometimes weeks!
How can we stop this! It has been going on for weeks now. If we talk about Whales raping the reward pool, then we should see this as a major problem as well. Everyone of us can see how they transfer money everyday out of Steemit. Money that many users worked hard for it and ended up God knows where.

We cant watch and say "It is not our Problem". We are all here and sharing the rewards together. What effects one of us will effect everybody. It is a virus that we should stop, before it is too late. I know that everybody is responsible, but lets see it differently. That money could be powered up for the benefit of all of us. Moreover Phishing became a major problem and will effect the reputation of Steemit after some time. We need someone to take care about this and stop every transfer in the right time. We should think together about a solution, because we can succeed only together.

Thank you! This will be a big help for many users .

My dear, you are right, some people in my community have fallen victim to this!!!

I think tackling this problem begins with educating the steemit users.

For every newbie that i bring in, I tell them not to click any links. Better safe than sorry

Thats true! It is better to warn them, before they fall into the trap.

Unfortunately, there's no easy solution. @arcange has been posting about it and if you report a phishing attempt to him, he has a bot that will warn other users about that link.

So far, that's the only solution I've seen...

Yes true, the bot is existing. Sometimes users dont give attention to the bot comments or they click on the link before the bot warns them.

This is a problem that is going to bring down steemit as the biggest blockchain social media. This is why Chinese are developing a blockchain-based social media on EOS that is set to be launched this month with the aim of distributing rewards equally, solving problems faced on steemit.

To me other upcoming social media platforms will over take steemit if the reward pool is not protected immediately. We don't want to see people quitting Steemit and join other platforms.

Thank you.

Oh thats interesting! So there will be other similar platforms in the future and thats good.
I hope the problems on Steemit will be solved soon :(

old mafia

I had a similar one on my post yesterday, downvoted to remove visibility and invoked steemcleaners, hopefully they can help

Yes hopefully :(

So far I have not had too many SPAM comments, I was getting more when I was new. I do usually flag them when they comment on my posts, but not usually when I see SPAM on other people's posts. I should tag steemcleaners more often though I forgot about that!

Usually when you flag them, they dont come back :)

This is actually one of my biggest fears, I have seen similar stuff on some posts and it's really sad to see how people are taking away what they worked so hard.

I hope that the Whales will look into this matter and find a solution very soon.
