NVO Token "Alert" Scam
If you took part in the NVO ICO - there appears to be a new scam going round on Slack using the same social engineering method of pretending to be an alert that I warned about yesterday:
Do not click the links and do not fall for it.
It will likely take you to a fake MyEtherWallet site that will then steal all your tokens.
Please share the warning.
Remember DON'T EVER CLICK links to banking or wallet websites in messages, slack or email. Consider them to be scams by default.

Its just sad that so many people are so greedy and try to rip-off people who are doing their very best to earn and keep some money or cryptocurrencies. Those online thieves always keep doing their best to come up with new creative ways to steal from people, i've read about this and it disgusts me! I'm upvoting this in the hope your post will alert some people to be smart and dodge the filthy deceiving scammers with their phishing sites.

Unfortunatly there is, and I can only encourage people who are trying to protect some people from the bad guys with spreading information about these scammers and what to do or avoid. I know someone who got scammed online for simply being to naive and that alerted me in the first place to be more cautious and since then I try to alert my environment such as friends/family or people I know online to be extra careful with personal information or transactions made online on an unknown website. If more people are aware of phishing websites, the bigger the change it will not succeed for the scammers.

Yes in fact that is the best policy. Ignore all links in Slack. If concerned type the link in for the sites yourself.

Just as I have been saying. So many ICO scams it's crazy how they are exploiting the FOMO. :) The reality is that even some icos of projects with great devs are still only there for milking the ethereum and bitcoins from their contributors. Some of them may prove me wrong next year market exchange but the reality is that we have a 90% influx of ICO scams this summer. And scam in this version is not conventional. Don't worry people, you will get your worthless coins while they will be enjoying your Ethereum and Bitcoins. @thecryptofiend

I think you are mistaken in this case. The NVO ICO was genuine it is a real token and a real and promising project. The scam here is people trying to steal credentials from others.

That's happening all around the crypto universe. What I commented is the ICO scam in general term. Some coins are going to staggering 5$ initial token price. How and why are people contributing to these tokens remains a mystery. Sorry for being off-topic, it seems that this guy explained the situation perfectly - https://uetoken.com/

Yes I think you are right there - I thought you may have thought I meant that NVO itself was the scam which was not my intention:)

Well yes as I mentioned earlier I had a couple of serious health issues that took me out of work - it's how I discovered Steemit otherwise I wouldn't have had the time. I was working in mental health before because I wanted to make a difference there (due to my own issues with depression and alcohol) - takes a long time to return though because you have to prove you are well enough to work and safe. Now I think once I am back at work I would like to go into brain research to help towards fining cures for diseases of ageing like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.

Thats a tough battle. Good job dedicating your self to healing. Hope you have gotten some genuine help and support.
The field of brain study/science is very important and OHHH so complicated hahaha there are major advances to be had there for sure that can really impact the world.
Are you into "holistic" "alternative" medicine/practices or are you a western medicine kinda guy?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Both with some reservations, I don't support outright "snake oil" but as long as alternative therapies are not preventing people from seeking effective treatment (and people aren't being scammed) - I don't believe there is anything wrong with them.
I did a medical acupuncture course a while back - I believe quite strongly in the power of the mind to manipulate our reality so I don't think it is derogatory to call alternative therapies placebos.
As much as 50% of conventional therapies are down to psychological effects/placebo and I think alternative therapies treat the mind more than the body, whereas western therapies concentrate on the body alone (in most cases).
As with many things the truth is somewhere in between. Obviously we have to be careful - if you have brain tumour you will need neurosurgery to remove but acupuncture might help with the pain.
I also believe strongly in the power of mindful meditation and there is growing scientific evidence that it causes structural changes in the brain and has a whole host of benefits for both mind and body.

Well said!
Most importantly mindful meditation/living is the key!
I already knew u were a very logical and reasonable guy but ur response to this question proves it!
Hope u keep getting more mindful and help even more people because of it!
