As listed by @dobartim, there are a lot of cheats on steemit but the most annoying of all, is the scamming cheat that chats you up because he wants to buy SBD from you but never pays you! And yes, i fell victim, just last week!
This individual created a steemit account with the user name @uniquepita.
He never posted anything on his blog so he wont be flagged down. Smart guy! Though he just started resteeming other people 's post like 3 days ago.
I saw him through an exchange group on whatsapp asking to buy SBD from another guy so i sent him a message that i had SBD to sell. My mistake! He told me his steemit username so i could make the transfer which i did.
The problem came when almost an hour later, i was still waiting to recieve my pay!
He made some excuses about bank network and then lied that he was heading to the bank.
After about 2 hours, i had to tell him to pay up else i would publicise his name, and behold, he blocked me on whatsapp!
Unfortunately, i was not the only one scammed by him that same day. He scammed like 3 other peopleand got about $15.000 in total and transferred it to @blocktrade.
Recently i checked his blog and found the guy still scamming people of their hard-earned SBD!
Below are evidences of our chat.
Evidence posted by his other victims:
it is a pity that steem has no normal method of monetization that people cashed SBD through the website and not give money to fraudsters
