Today I've got several reports about a scammer on steemit.chat trying to sell upvotes under my name.
As many of you know - I'm not selling any of my votes and I've never tried to profit out of my voting power and it applies to all my steem accounts. Currently all the SP I have is delegated to @curie project on not for profit basis (so there is actually nothing to sell). Also the only steemit.chat account I have is 'val'.
Please be aware of scammers and always make your own research before you buy or sell something in the crypto world.
I also received same message on steemchat by someone named val-a. Relieved to know its not you

It's funny how this post is comforting to me personally. I went on to as a few questions. One of the mods was unfriendly. I don't know if the person I dealt with was a scammer or exploded from the magnitude of my story. But, I understand your grievances potential is real.

I received this out of the blue today. I responded by saying you don't even have any Steem power haha it's all delegated out. The person never responded to me. I then contacted you so that you're aware that someone is doing this.
Take care

Hello @val-a ,
Do you wonder about the power of Steem? Not just it's monetary value, but as a tool to make change happen? I often think about that and the more I work on steemit, the more I see huge potential. I noticed you have a philanthropic side to you.
I have recently started a very simple project on steemit. It is called 'Upvote a tree', where I donate 100% of SBD to the cause of reforestation here in Northern Peru. I actually plant the native tree saplings myself and I post videos about it on here. I have worked in the field of international development for over 10 years and I have yet to see anything close to what steem can do for the world. The principle of just a simple upvote, no mater the value, means it is participatory and driven by a growing community. I could go on and on about my thoughts and visions, but I know you probably get loads of messages and thank you for reading this far.
Kind regards,
@intrepidsurfer

So, yeah. Trying to worm out scammers will be a mind field on a site such as this. Great idea to delegate your SP to @curie. I think they do a good job.
