Be mindful of unauthorized links || To the Newbies on this platform

GREETINGS to everyone here. I'm actually making this post based on what I saw some minutes ago after creating a post in hotnews community. A user commented on my post telling me to click on a link to earn 120k-250k. I wasn't moved by this because this isn't the first time such links is sent to me. Sometimes it may come in the form of;

  • click on this link to earn 200 free steems or
  • click on this link to earn $250 for a post.

In as much as I'm trying to build my finances, I can't be carried away by such sweet talks. Clicking on those unauthorized links just to earn more is greed and will definitely put your steemit wallet at risk. You might end up losing your steemit keys as they'll be changed and your steem powered lost too.

Be mindful of the links you click on steemit. The only way we get free steems is by working hard during contests and acing the contest. This user might send one of the many links you. So be very much careful so as not to fall into that bait.

This is for newbies on this platform who haven't experienced such. This is a picture showing the comment of this user on my post.

To show the illegitimacy of this link, the wasn't any notification that the user commented on my list as shown below. So in as much as the steemit has made your account secured to the maximum, don't break your security walls in an attempt to earn free steems. There was a time one of my friend on this platform clicked on such linked but later took imminent actions so as to avoid complications. There's nothing free even in freetown. You work hard to get something. Ignore such comments and steem on to the moon 🌕 🌕 🌕🌕🌕.
