It seems that I'm currently attracting Scammers - but I'll take it as long as I can protect my fellow Steemains.
So I've received the following transfer-message from @marvels in which I was getting told that I should download a Steemit App from the googleplay-store.
As soon as I saw the message I noticed a few red flags.
Red Flags
1.) Broken English
2.) 20 SP (~60 USD) for a login?
3.) The id: com.steemit.dtubee
4.) The App itself - 4 reviews. 100% all fake.
Phishing Attempt
I'm 100% sure that whoever created the app, send the transfer and wrote the fake reviews is trying to get your keys.
That means: Don't install the app or you'll lose your keys!
If you have an android phone - please report/flag the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steemit.dtubee) to have it removed from the store!
Additionally, please share this post to warn your fellow Steemians!
Thanks so much for the heads up!

Thank you very much @therealwolf , I am happy that you find and talk about these types of scams. I can imagine a lot of people are looking for a good Android/IOS app for steemit.

I have noticed lately that when logging into Smartsteem, Steemit and other sites, that Steemconnect dialogue box logs me in automatically without requesting my long password. Maybe this has opened the way for some password phishing going on?

No, I don't think so. I guess it just remembers user logins like Facebook.
Just to be on safe side always use posting/active key (whichever necessary) instead of master password.

Steemia and bsteem i installed them after i read their reviews on trending page on steemit, am not sure if they are safe. But so far i got no problem.
I think it's always good for such apps to use steemconnect for logins
Every app should.

That guy is a crazy person who isn't able to accept that he received what he paid for, but doesn't understand the math behind it and thus thinks he got scammed. Most people would be reasonable and accept when they were wrong. But that person .. he rather starsts a script for multiple accounts and spams under every post.
