Someone tried to scam people under my name – here is my declaration on this unfortunate affair

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

To all my Steemit fellows,

Honestly, I never thought I would have to write a post like this one but after the recent incidents on the Steemit chat, I simply have to take an action.

I was notified by some of my followers that someone was trying to scam them on the Steemit chat under a fake profile of mine, telling them to send her certain amounts of SBD (see the printscreen of one of those conservations below).

Let me make a little declaration considering this disgraceful affair.

  1. I don’t have a Steemit chat account and I am not going to have one anytime soon. The same goes for Discord – I am not on Discord and I am not planning to open a Discord account!
  2. I have never asked anyone to send me any money (SBD, Steem or whatever) and will never do that. If you saw someone doing that, it was not me for sure!

I am very sorry about this whole issue. After posting this declaration, however, I believe nobody will ever try to scam people under my name.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Have a great day and Steem on!

that's very sad to know it's can damage your reputation on steemit .. how can do this much cheat one people 😢😢 all the steemains are doing hard here and they want to earn by cheating others...

An unpleasant story, as we say "that their hands are withered." You are the only one who helps us here on Steemiti disinterestedly and always respond to comments with kindly respectful words. I think not one of us will doubt your nobility. You do not worry, everything will be formed....

Thank you for your support! Great as always!

Who's the bitch people scam under your name? Totally disappointing. We all know you're genius person In steemit. Also never ask any persons any money's. Your work only giving money to the community via contests.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your positive comment on my work. Have a good one. Tomas

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you, @czechglobalhosts. Unfortunately it's really common for people to be impersonated on Steemit.chat if they don't register there with their own username, so you're not alone with having had this experience. I just hope that there wasn't anyone that fell for the "fake you" that asked for money..

I did not know that. It is quite unfortunate the system is set this way so people can really take an advantage. I hope this will change anytime soon. Yeah, I do hope nobody got scammed.....

Yeah, i hope they change it as well. As far as I understand, it should be possible to require authentication with Steemconnect in order to make sure no one is forging their identify at the chat, but I guess it's either not a priority, or maybe it's not even possible with the system they use.

It's a shame that this has happened to you, you have been one of the few on this platform that do it the right way. All of your followers here know how you act and thank you for your services in helping the community.

Thank you for our support and positive words. Have a great day. Tomas

I am very angry with the perpetrators, I think they are lazy people so choose this very bad way. Maybe I can only give support, and glad resteem your post Tomas, keep steeming bro.

Thank you my friend.... T.

You're welcome Tomas

You know it's the haters who tried to demean you, defame by this act. You should be least bothered about this as you have a very good reputation as long as your steemit a/c is concerned.

Bunch of losers with nothing better to do..

Oh.. Bloody scammers.. thanks for inform @czechglobalhosts..

Does anybody know if poloniex addresses are static like those from Bittrex?
We might be able to track him down, if we can get a hold of this crypto addresses.

that strage to know how i have no steem caht account and i dont know the rules of steem chat is this not possible to report about that person and block his id on steemit chat if any one making spam and use any other person name?

It was good to clarify this point, I'm relatively new in this community. It is good to take care of ourselves among all people who are ill-intentioned and who want to take advantage of the good faith of others.

Thank you for this advice sir

Where there is wealth there is theft
No end to this sh%t
Some creep with a 4 rating 4 no less asking for upvotes
It would be nice to imagine he is collecting material for a seminal groundbreaking exposee on how to scam on steemit - and earn real money from it!!
But he isn't writing anything, he looking for marks

Scammers on steemit chat is damn high!

Sorry that yours name has also been used, till now i witnessed 4-5 cases like that.

How pathetic! I thought us steemians were better than that. I guess there is a bad apple in every bunch.

Waspada..waspadalah.. Kejahatan terjadi bukan hanya karena ada niat pelakunya tapi juga karena ada kesempatan.. Waspada..waspadalah..

Ohh its really bad :( Thanks for declaration @czechglobalhosts

i naver use these words for anyone but i am very angery .. i dont know and i alwasy think why do these people just pick the easy way i mean why .. dont they just go and work fr money .. and what do they gat nothing except bad words .. scamers

Hmm, you know, Tomas, I guess you would better had created your name accounts on discord and steemit.chat... In that way nobody could have used your name then. You would just be safe even if those accounts completely unactive
But now, that's just another example of greedy behavior. But how damn smart those people are, always finding new ways for scamming. They would better put their efforts for something positive...

Am just surprise by the length someone would go it... Some things are not just worth it

I think the offender should be punished by what he [email protected] information

this person should be founded and down voted, scammers need to be eradicated!
Upvoted :)

it is a disgrace that this has took place to you, you have got been one of the few on this platform that do it the right way. all of your fans here know how you act and thank you for your offerings in helping the network

@Upvote

That's not very nice. I have not been on Steemit for a long time, but I have only encountered very nice people. Unfortunately, there is someone in every company who wants to profit from fraud.
You have a great blog with a lot of followers who will surely understand that this is a scam.

I do not know whether it would be sensible to register your nick on a Steem chat and Discord, so no one can abuse your name.

these People (scammers) are just so desperate, lazy and annoying, they don't really care about others, they will come and destroy and leave without looking back, seriously if there is a way this can be controlled with no mercy, please let put it in execution #noscamsteemain
