WATCH OUT IN STEEMIT.CHAT
This morning, @helamia notified me of a @papa-pepper impostor attempting to scam people in steemit.chat. First off, @papa-pepper is NOT FOR SALE, nor does he accept bribes or request that people PAY FOR UPVOTES. While people can do whatever they want, this simply is NOT MY STYLE.
DON'T FALL FOR IT!
Here is a screenshot that @helamia sent me. The "papapepper" that was using my steemit avatar in steemit.chat is NOT me. I use a "-" between the words "papa" and "pepper" and I do not use an avatar on steemit.chat.
This is what the real @papa-pepper looks like on steemit.chat. Also, I will NOT approach minnows for money. Here is a little more of the conversation with the impostor.
I talked with @riverhead once I found out to see if that account could be shut down, and it looks like they already were. Unfortunately, they may try something else, or maybe discord. Just so you all know, I am "papa-pepper" # 9726 on discord and I use a poorly cropped avatar.
It doesn't look like anyone fell for the scam, but if you did, please let me know! Thanks. Also, a BIG THANK YOU to @helamia for bringing this to my attention. Here is a link to the post they put out as a warning: https://steemit.com/reportabuse/@helamia/steemians-beaware-scam-alert-someone-is-pretending-to-be-papa-papper-with-a-fake-account-asking-people-for-sbd-to-vote-100-on
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
You are welcome @papa-pepper :)
Won't let someone screw your reputation like that , becauseyou worked so hard to build it, and your content is awesome so keep it up.

I think most people who have read Papa's posts would pick that it is not his style to ask for money.
@helamia did a good job shutting the imposter down, well done.

helamia 5:41 PM
No thank you very much i appreciate your help. Just keep in mind that if you want to help someone just do it, and don't ask for anything in return otherwise you will be called a scammer.

The fact that they asked for something in return is a dead give away, of course the way they spoke about "petrifying" is also a give away. Thankfully they have been stopped and hopefully nobody fell for it. Anyone that has ever dealt with you or spoken to you will immediately know its a fraud @papa-pepper because you are one of the most selfless people I've had the privilege of meeting here on steemit. God bless you my fabulous friend. :D Have an awesome day. :D

It is sad that people try to take advantage of other people in the first place. Then to steal someone elses name and avatar to try to fake their way on steemit to get sbd is terrible. We all put time and effort into what we put on steemit to be stolen for some fast cash.
