So once again I found another Phishing attack attempt on me. Actually I was just another Target as he targeted several Users.
So he was claiming that I had copy pasted that post from the Link he Provided. I knew it was not Copied from anywhere because it was my Post Promotion Thread and obviously it's not Copied. But for the Fun of it I checked out the Link he Provided and it took me to Steemil.com which is another Clone Site to Steemit.com.
I just feel Pissed because there are many ways to Earn on Steemit. Even if you don't Publish Content you can Participate on Contests to get some Free SBD's. But more often people seem to choose the Dishonest Way.
So Guys I wanted to Warn you Guys about this Phishing Attempt by @guest123 and be Safe my Friends.
Some choose the easiest way. Or maybe not the easiest one. The dishonest way.

The silver lining here is: Always double check the site before entering your credentials. Scammers will be scammers, but 95% of the time we can prevent being fished just by being clever. Cheers!

We don't need to be Clever for this too. We just have to use our Common Sense.
We should ask ourselves why would this Website need our Credentials again even though you Logged in just now.

Indeed, PLUS, you should really use steemconnect to log in, since you can use your posting key to log in instead of your master password. That will keep it safe.

I know you probably do... we have been around for a while now. I´m just telling to our readers who have no idea that there are other frontends out there like https://busy.org/ which are less suceptible to phishing. :)

A good and simple practice to prevent phishing attacks is to bookmark the real website and dont use external ones.
Thanks for sharing your experience

The book marking example is good but in this case it might not work as they are giving you links to click which is leading you to another Website.

Yeah but for example, you receive a phishing email to steemit, you still can use the offer using the bookmark steemit official website and then go from there using the same url path

Yes that is a choice but that would be unnecessary as it's better to stay away from such Links.

I don't understand why someone will invest time and resources in trying to steal from someone else.
If this time and resources are invested in doing the right things, it's only a matter of time before desired results are achieved.

If that Time is invested wisely he/she might not get the instant result but in the Long term it will help Them.

I am also annoyed and angry after reading the contents of this posting is mr @arunava, many parties here are looking to fortune or kekayan fast the wrong way. Most of them use dishonest ways when Participating in the Contest to get Free SBD products and postings they update, be they writing or drawing all they use is plagiarism. They are the ones who feel proud when they lie here and they are irresponsible people. In their minds habya focus to get a lot of SBD in a lot cheating. I believe strongly in trusting you and cursing the person who is filling you.
