Hello steemit friends,
today in my usual fight against spammers, I came across this scam operation.
In fact @hottopic use @minnowbooster images to promote his service (upvote and resteem).
It's increbible how he made this without any interest for consequences.
Here the proof:
@hottopic page:
https://steemit.com/@hottopic/comments
@minnowbooster page:
As you can see, @hottopic use a IDENTICAL LOGO, I think it's most likely that some users could think @hottopic is @minnowbooster affiliate.
I think that this is a very serious event.. I reported this to @steemcleaners and wrote this post because I would warn you against this kind of scam operation.
PLEASE RESTEEM this post to help as many steemitians as possible.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately there are a lot of shady characters out there looking to take advantage of people, so we all must do our part to protect the community from these tricks. Your vigilance is appreciated.

If only hot-topic would send more than just 0.001 STEEM to everyone it wants to follow them... like say 15-20 Steem, that would get me on board... I just hope people weren't damaged too much.
