Yup, and the person doing this had the stupidity (greed) to spam what's basically a broad cross section of Steemit's richest/oldest accounts. Masquerading as "Bittrex," no less.
Ah well, rep is at -2 and falling.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Looks like there were a lot of people hit up by that scam. I guess they think that most of the users are facebook newbies or something with nothing between the ears. Guess they were wrong. I saw a story, nice write up, on wired mag about steemit, I wonder if that was what got the person to take action.

It was pretty good, done by an aussie,( @andrewmcmillen ).he has an excerpt of the story on his page. I guess steemit is almost famous.

That would be a solution, I might opt for a smaller number. If someone wants to try to scam me and just the attempt costs them a dollar or 2 that I get for free, the trick would be on them as long as everyone stayed diligent.

it's coming to that I think.
I saw something the other week about an ap for gmail that went something like
"HI...you're not on the white list...pleas pay $X and include an brief explanation as to why I should spend any of my time on you. If I like it you get the money back...If not I keep it."..
If my spam folder keeps filling up...I might have to chase that down and implement it.

You should censor that url or at least make it unclickable by removing the http: from it.

why?
if someone is stupid enough to clik on it after being warned NOT too then who am I to stop them.
Can't fix stupid..just hope that they don't breed.

Breeding is the problem. If they are stupid enough to click it their account gets hijacked. Then that account is used to spread more phishing links.

That hasn't hit me yet but I'll be on the lookout. Thanks for the warning.
I should probably pay more attention to what's going on with my wallet transactions. I forget that people use it sometimes like a mailbox with a .001 SBD "postage stamp." I kind of like the idea but I get more promotional stuff there than anything else.

suppose the cost of the postage stamp were to be increased or made variable, controlled by the wallet owner?

You mean controlled by the person "receiving" the message, and payment? That would be a neat little feature, actually. Especially if you could allow "trusted" contacts to message you for .001, but set the rate higher for unsolicited messages.
