Here's a good rule to live by:
If someone sends you a link that you didn't request, DO NOT CLICK ON IT.
Even if you did request a link - be careful. And never, ever, EVER sign into Steemit with your master key. EVER!!!
Use your posting key to sign in. Use your active key to sign transfers. That's it.
Please stop falling for obvious scams, people. It's your own fault if you do.

"people are stupid, they are not responsible for their responsibility" is how the government rolled since like, ever.
I guess we as steemians have this obligation to make sure every one with some amount of steem to understand the basic laws you've just pointed out.

The scammer may have registered the domain in his own name [edit: not the Ned Scott, the Francisco Lopez that appears in the address field] with his own phone number. Have a look: https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=lsteemit.com
Would not be a smart move if you're trying to steal from people.

Another scam which I’m sure will catch a few people out. Not a target rich environment though as most invoked in crypto and technically literate. That is changing though with the likes of bitconnect dragging in anyone who thinks they can ‘invest’ and that makes them a crypto expert! There will always be some who will fall for it though.

Thanks for sharing @klye..
The way they've stated all these things are sufficient to recognize them as fraud.
First of all, if your account is hacked, only person got to know is affected Steemian, not even Steemit could recognize that. The only way remains - recovery of account from attacked Steemian.
Secondly, they're asking for IDs, bull sh*t, it'll happen on Steemit, instead you should keep funds in Savings to protect. Steemit not asking any further docs to protect or deal with your funds..
And, Third is damn their email ID..OMG !! I can't stop laughing looking at their gmail ID..!!😂😂
Steemit trust/Authority board using gmail...!!!

The simple rule is that don't ever use your master password to log in any site.
use your posting key for log in and if you want to transfer then use your active key,that simple.
Do not get scammed be in safe side and follow the security rule[posting & active key]
Be careful have a good day.

There are a few different kinds of phishing scams going around as of late. I can only hope something like this warrants a ban from steemit or something else.
