There is another asshole who opened up an account @blocktradess with two "s" trying ( and succeeding) in capturing some fat finger funds sent to @blocktrades with one "s" for exchanging.

Yes @swaraj Im glad you brought that up, I also today just found @papa-peper (instead of teh REAL @papa-pepper ) and then@bittreex instead of @bittrex and then @polinix and @polinicks or something like that i cant remember the poloniex one but it was funny, sounded like how rednecks pronounce "Poloniex" its supposed to be Po Lo Knee Ex PoLoNee Ex not polinecks like some people pronounce it LOLOL
Anyway the @jerrybanfeild thing is funny, when his name is spelled Field with an I before E except after C (and V and a bunch of other exceptions...psh... that saying is sooo unhelpful when learning to spell in English.....
Anyway So who is this mandrea asshole? Can we not get his fucking blocktrades account blocked? cant we make it so when he tries to send money to bittrex or poloniex we have @poloniex @bittrex @blocktrades or @openledger intercept it, and return it to its rightful owner who can be proven by the people who sent any money to @blocktradess ALSO we should use CONSENSUS to simply take over this account. We should all take a vote, and include in the next hard fork a code that simply changes the password for that account or just removes the name OR just delete the account or disables it, for good, and credits the victims with that money, but seems like its too late and mandrea has already send that money to an exchange ? or no?
these people think they can get away with this shit, but one day in the future we will show them that they cannot. Sure they can have the freedom to accept accidental money in this manner but the community also has the right to do something about it
As soon as this fucker @mandrea tries to fucking send money to an exchange we should warn the exchange and have them confiscate the coins there has to bea way to do this.... or to hard fork this account into teh hands of real block trades and just use consensus to disable this fucjking scam account

@inertia in steemspeak.com told me that if you do enter one of these Knowing Phising scam accounts accidental into Steemit wallet, the walet dialogue Box will Warn you in red letters that it is a scam account and not to send there, (just like when you type in an exchange withoyt a memo, ) but tjey can only warn you and not prevent ou, but I would like an extra dialogue box maybe? Like even whenyou click yes send it makes you confirm and maybe even plays a short video explaining why you shouldnt send to these accounts?? I dunno we should just ..i know w cant stop peopl from sendingmoney to people saccounts in their wallets but we have to use consensus to show we have control over our own blockchain when it comes to scamers flooding wallets woth spam, we will have some solutions however, and its good this all hapened SONER rather than latwr, we wont wanna onboard millions of users only to end up with a situation with millions of users getting scammed using phishing attacks which would have never happend on a centralized platform like facebook ow teiotter where no accounts sending links like that would be up for long but that does happen on facebook and instagram etc, we cannot delete transactions from he walet history BUt we have to implement a way to , without the chrome extension (extra info steemit) to actually filter out the wallet transactions and its scarey to think anyone with bad intent can take advantage of our free transaction fee to Gum up the sytem and slow it down by spamming from one account and its really sucky! We WILl find solutions to these possible future escalations of current problems! Oh I love steemit so Much I feel Like im working in cryptography during orld war 2 or something!
Anyway discord chat steemspeak.com is liek a 24/7 text and voice chat with images videos GIFs and even @curiosity bot by @gyzimo which lets you send or recieve SBD to yoru steemit account as tips all there in teh chat! Ive already earned 5 SBD from just hanging out in teh chat which is amazing considering I didnt have to post anything! Mostly thanks to @instructor2121 Thanks for raining down SBD on the chat with @curiosity bot!

Thank you for solving this @arcange. I am @samstonehill and for the moment have been forced to another account. Was not aware they were using my account for this purpose now.
Your solution is perfect and exactly what I suggested when I explained this situation yesterday: https://steemit.com/steemit/@samstonehilltube/samstonehill-has-been-hacked-and-cannot-be-re-accessed-how-did-this-happen-and-what-are-the-solutions
Had I seen a message like this in my wallet next to the scammers message, clearly I wound't have made this mistake.
Thank you for highlighting these issues and spreading the word.
Am still keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to confirm my identity directly with Steemit and regain control of my account.
The hackers are currently flagging me from my own account on everything I write in the new account. Not sure what they have against me?
I've just voted for you as Witness. And if I get my main account back I will do it from there too :)
Thank you for your great work.

Hey @samstonehilltube, sad to read you got hacked and had to restart from scratch.
Hard learned lessons are sometimes the best.
He is doing the same on me, but as he is a noob and burned all his voting power, not really hurting.
Unfortunately for your ego, I think he absolutely doesn't care about you.
He just want to express his frustration being thwarted ;)
Thanks a lot for your witness support!
I wish you all the best!

He must be a rather sad individual. Still, you have done a great thing here and I intend to write a post on this subject. The community reaction to this situation has been amazing. @timcliff has already changed the wording for the registration process so that others don't make the mistake I made.
In my new account I have received so many donations today from awesome generous people.
And going through all the comments to my latest post, it is so encouraging to feel the passion of this platform.

In general, I don't like bots. But today I want to thank you @arcange for giving me this great example how bots can be used for good. Counter-attack is a great tool in addition to a general advice to newbiess how to keep themselves secure.
Today I wrote a separate post advising my 1400+ followers what dangers they maybe facing here, and how to avoid em.
Together we are stronger than those scammers (sorry, but my coding skills are next to zero, so I can not make any bot like yours)

I think it is good to bring these kinds of scams to the attention of the Steemit community. It looks to me like they are targeting power users. The motive is to steal money. There is a small clue that this is a hoax. The scammer is using a gmail address. We have to be skeptical of all such communications and think twice before replying.
It is very generous of you to use your own money to help defend people in the same forum. How much is this costing you? (I guess it depends on the number of scam messages being sent).

I was thinking about the hackers using my account now to trick further people. The number of followers and high rep works to their advantage by making people think they are authentic.
But you are right of course, what has happened here will ultimately lead to improved security features on the site and heightened awareness of the importance of security for all!

Making their reputation negative won't block them. Just adding a "sign of suspicion" next to their name.

Good job. I hope this doesn't get too expensive for you. Money transfers has turned into public direct messaging. What if in say the interface the devs of Steemit hide by default hide transfers smaller than one Steem Dollar? If you run an public rpc node I would vote for you as a witness. That's my criteria.

No need to hide small transfer but implement a decent messaging or, even better, Instant Messaging. This is something Steemit.com really lacks of.
Regarding my witness, I run a public seed node at steem-seed.arcange.eu. Therefore, your witness vote is welcome ;)

someone registered bittrexx. Someone sent the account 5000+ Steem accidentally.

Nothing we can do against that except informing/educating users.
Mis-typed name squatting exploit has already partially been addressed by steemit.com
But one could use another client to do transfers, even on command line using cli-wallet.
Not doing thing in a hurry and double-checking before pushing the send button is the best practice to adopt.

Thanks so much for the PSA! I’ve always wanted to do white hat/vigilante stuff, but so far lack the technical knowledge. Anyway, it’s cool to see someone actually doing this kind of thing. Keep up the good work and I hope this comment makes you feel appreciated for your work.

Thanks for the heads up! We can't be 'hacked' if we've noticed some random acc put small amount of funds in our acc right? Just don't click on any links or make any downloads yeah?

This needs to be stopped. I made a Dutch translation to warn the Dutch-speaking audience.
I would suggest others do the same for other languages.

also there are currently scams going on in Steemit Chat...PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS!!!
I felt something fishy was afoot as soon as this guy randomly contacted me, once I received these messages the room was then locked. They even sent me a message under the chat handle 'val.a' after that...chat name in original message pictured below was 'val-a'

Excellent way to advertise on a SCAM
But I think in addition to the creation of that bot, it would be useful to enable a word filter system, to detect "MEMO" words like "Account" and "Blocked", and block transactions timely while someone assigned personally checks the memo and discards it or authorizes it, being able to cancel accounts of Scammers directly, as well as preventing transactions from being received by potential (unsuspecting) victims.
Thanks for sharing @arcange

It doesn't look like your account has been hacked as you are pretty new to the platform.
A bit of paranoia will help. Do no give your trust to fast and perform basis verification.
