⚠️ SCAM ALERT! I guess... ⚠️

in hive-185836 •  last month 

Well, I don't even know how and where to start this.

Like a week ago I saw a post that had a title like this "How I have doubled 95.000 STEEM within 57 days. + 🎁 for you 😉" and it caught my attention. The post was promoting a page named @coin-doubler, that promises to double your STEEM or SBD in X days.

I went to check this @coin-doubler and it's a 25 rep page, no posts, no comments, no avatar, no background only some followers, a link to a basic google site and about 80k SP.

This is how the page looks:

This started to look more and more like a SCAM so I went to check who sends money to @coin-doubler and who he sends it back to and in just a couple of minutes I found the following list of accounts (probably there are many more if we search further).

Usernames
@elated-wanted
@gold-unseen
@fresh-foam
@awesome-american
@carmelpoptart
@cutesy
@angelberry
@smilee-doll
@sweet-quail
@golden-panther
@night-show
@vittyalex
@daisy-louise
@greek-god
@flyswat
@sallow
@first-flow
@muffinhead
@marett
@gold-tube
@snuggle-kitty
@lorindavi
@elfish-presley
@pureed
@haggy-pie

All the accounts are ~70 Reputation, not following anyone 15-16 SP, no avatar, no background, no comments, and all spam mostly the same Posts over and over again promoting this SCAM! Those accounts were all created in 2020, so in ~ 4 years someone managed to get all these accounts to such a high reputation, watching to the older posts there were some pretty big upvotes and even now posts are being upvoted last hour/minute before payout. Also having accounts like @steem-fund and @executive-board upvoting brings them more credibility.

There is also an account named @escrow-services that is used to move STEEM left and right to make this SCAM as being legit.

These accounts being this old are probably known in the steemit community, but for those who didn't know this scam yet take care.

Did anyone fall for it? Did you know about it? Do you know more details? Leave them in a comment below.

Hi @ady-was-here, @coin-doubler is already there for some times and so far I know it works, Steem will be increased, I doubt that with such effect that is promised. There are relatively many people using that. But you are right I would just stay away from it. Thank you for highlighting!
