Idk if they're outright scams but I've seen quite a bit of 0.001 SBD value transfers with spam messages to my wallet lately. I know it isn't a new thing and they're honestly just throwing away that fraction of a percent of a SBD sending it to me bc I never use services of wallet spammers. That's just a personal rule of mine.

A lot of them claim they supposedly resteem to tens of thousands of followers (likely bs and if not the followers are dummy / low value acounts) including whales and you'll get a certain dollar amount of upvotes every time. I saw one who guaranteed votes from whales [rolls eyes]. Likely bs and if not the followers are dummy / low value accounts at best.

So, in summary, If it sounds too good to be true....it's. A. Scam! At least that's my policy.

Thanks for your hard work in trying to protect people. It hasn't gone unnoticed. I'm selecting you as my final wintess vote (got one open one left!).

Yes, resteem promises are all but valuable. A waste of money.
This is the business of scammers ... to sell dreams.

Thanks a lot for your witness vote, your very last one. I feel honored!

I used a resteem service and can attest they are not worth it. Is there a way to invite their .001 SBD ads : )

It is sad that this happens, and sometimes it is painful to reduce those compromised accounts to 0 reputations to become invisible but they become dangerous for the Steemit platform because the owner loses control of it and his account start spamming. The best thing is to teach people not to fall into the trap of these phishing sites.

Reputation can be restored if you contact @steemcleaners.

This is the purpose of my detailed post. Not just pushing a warning comment, but also describing what's behind the scam and how it is perpetuated.

What is your standing point concerning the auto-voters (like steemdunk and similar)?

And what is your opinion about the voting trails?

The last question, do you practice renewing the keys from time to time?

Just saying but you might want to fix a bug lmao...

arcange (73) · 7 years ago

I would not say it is a bug.
As soon as you mention a phishing link in your post or comment, you will be considered (by my stupid bot) as a potential scammer and trigger its infamous warning process.

Probably you should let the bot follow shortlinks...not sure if it's feasible. That would probably take quite some bandwidth.
