BE AWARE IF A GUY NAMED @tracemayer WRITES TO YOU ON STEEMIT.CHAT


Someone wrote to me half an hour ago and asked If I want to join his "team". I did not know the guy at all so I checked the steem account which was tied to the chat.

As you can se he already asked for SDB. It was strange to me that such a big bitcoin investor ask people around on steemit.chat. I've googled Trace and saw that he's quite known in bitcoin world. Anyway, I've tried to ask some questions about the "team".

So when he posted Steemfest account as his "team account" it was pretty obvious that's a scam. Just to be sure I wrote a reply in the last of @tracemayer 's posts and ask to confirm his identity there.

Here's an answer:

So I posted this at the #polish channel and It turned out that I was not the only one who was bothered by the scammer. He wrote also to @petecko and his talk with him was in similar manner (posting only a fragment here:

even If they look like someone "big"!

Similar thing happened to me, but it was that one guy who claimed that his computer has broken down and he lost all his SBD. After that he asked if I can help him...

When I asked how can I help, he said - by donating SBD to him! ;D

So, a donations repair computers - obviously;D

There's no shortage of beggars and scammers...
