Where there is value there will be fraud! Thanks for the heads-up and it is great to see a community that steps in and self-defends itself. That is truly awesome. Proud to be part of Steemit!

Hello!
Not only am I supporting this scam report service, if you are the same person maintaining the SQL-server service then I want to be doubly aggressive in my support because there is no way that the so-called "rewards" here are a proper compensation for what you put in.

On this point, I would encourage you to publish your public keys for BTC, LTC, STEEM, etc., so that those of us who understand what you're doing from the delivery end of things can add to our support.

I think I may have sent to you the following remark on another occasion, and if so I apologize for repeating it. Either Steemit or some other website would help deliver badly needed public education by maintaining a database of screenshots and texts associated the scamming projects. As another commentator here points out, they are becoming devilishly clever (I see that with the stuff arriving on lmy phone and my computers), and I worry about the day when I will be sleepy and accidentally do a "Click Here" that I should not do.

I got one the of the day that was really amazing. The message popped up on my iPad browser screen. The message looked very much like an alert from one of my banks, except that they made the mistake of telling me to "Click Here" if I wanted to unsubscribe!

When I looked at the source code there was no address beside the "Click here", and when I looked at the URL at the top the screen it bore no resemblance to normal TCP/IP syntax.

I suppose if I did do a "Click here" some piece of code would have been installed on my machine. And it would probably be a tiny piece of code, which would later on contact the server and bring on a larger piece of code, and so on until they have soiftware that executes on my computer to either steal stuff or attack other computers. So these guys are getting to be seriously clever, and the best we can do is to educate ourselves as much as we can on how they are presenting themselves.
