Be careful when using other steem passwords

I was a victim last week of scammers through a fake @dtube Google Playstore App. It really looks like DTube so I gave my password which is a huge mistake because they took away all of my earnings. I wrote a post about the aftermath here. Now I am saving up again what I loss and I think it will take me months to earn them again. I feel really traumatized and I hope no one goes through what I had gone through. Thank you for the warning @arcange.

That damn app got me too

I've made a link on my blog to this article for you @arcange - GREAT CATCH

My brother almost became a victim. Good thing he is discreet enough not to open it. Then yesterday, I received such comment. I copied the link. I opened it on an incognito tab to be completely sure and I was right.

Thanks for posting this. I resteemed it so my Followers can be aware of this also.

Good job. Thanks for the info. Resteemed

Thank you so much for sharing, sir.

If the smallest details is not scrutinized, the account will end up to the scammer! Phishing really is dangerous!

I always investigate suspicious links and expose them. As time goes this will be mass on Steemit but people will learn and scammers must give up.

Something similar happened to me last week and I got a big scare ... the it is very unpleasant, but the luck is that I was able to recover my account in a few hours. Thank you for sharing this information.

I like Rule Number 4!

We need to be very watch full this is becoming unbearable. A lot of those scammers out there, we just need to be observant @arcange thanks for this info

Dear @arcange,
Thanks for your kind information. Actually every working platform has some Wicked Fellow, who wants to success in negative mind. We need to catch them and punished. I request steemit authority to find the badman and punished him.
Thank by,
@noor.money

This is really scary. Didn't realize there's a lot of these lazy ass hackers on steemit now. I'm glad I stumbled on your post @arcangen.

My 1st account was hacked more than a week ago & it lives me no choice at the end but to start making a new one.

Voted & resteemed👍🏻

There's a typo:
If you find similiar pishing attemps, contact me on steem.chat

thanks for your sharing

Sleemit is Sleezy in Stealing it seems. Thanks for sharing the scam so we can know not to go to bad places that steal and stuff. Good advice to look at the URL in your web browser found in the bottom left side of the screen of the Firefox web browser and most most browsers as you hover over a link which you can and should be able to see as you hover over a link before you even click on a link. I make it a habit to check before clicking on things and before logging into things as well. Maybe tougher if you are a phone that is if the phone does not always show you the URL of where it may take you at times. I am mostly on my laptop and do not rely too much on phones for browsing and everything online.

Good to inform everyone, we can probably expect more attempts like this.
We need to keep vigilant.

While maybe not as big a risk as a phishing site, everything using SteemConnect also poses a potential risk.

Dear Arcage,
My account got stolen exactly in the way you discribe above. My account started posting fishing links after it was taken over, and im really happy that you put out warnings to people, as it is my name on there and not the scammer. I immidiatly started the recovery process on steemit and recovered my account after 1 day.

Will you please remove the auto reply that I am a scam. Its not anymore, as I am back in control and would like to be able to interact with steemians, in the same way as before.

kind regards
Hefziba

I'm glad to read you recovered your account.
It has been removed from my WarningBot blacklist.

Hello @prkznm,
I'm glad to read you recovered your account and it has been removed from my WarningBot blacklist.
Take care!

@prkznm is my brother's account. We saved account back yesterday thanks to steemit support. Please remove his nick name from your auto messages. I also informed people about saving in my account. Due to that's hacking he lost all reputation points. So it's zero right now. Please don't add extra harm us.

His name has been removed from my blacklist.

Thank you! I really appreciate your warnings during the hack. The shame that my account was scamming was worse than the actual loss. As soon as I saw your bot warning people, I had peace of mind. So, thank you!

Someone just posted a link with steemit in the title on my page and I guess your bot came and flagged me when I responded by asking about the sleemit url lol
