Just recently I saw a scam alert by @arcange and in one of the comments to @arcange post, I saw @onceuponatime talk about an account that is similar to @blocktrades.
what is blocktrades?
I'll just briefly explain what blocktrades.us is because I know new users come to Steemit everyday and some might not know what it means.
blocktrades was founded by Dan Notestein in 2015 and it has been used by steemians as a market place where you can exchange one cryptocurrency for another.
The first payout from steemit through blocktrades was on the 4th of July 2016 and ever since then, steemians have been using blocktrades for transactions.
You can use @blocktrades to send your earnings from steemit through blocktrades.us
to convert earnings ( SBD and STEEM) to bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency of your choice.
With that being said, It's important for us to notice that there is an account that is similar to @blocktrades . it has an extra "s" added to the blocktrades
so while sending money, always cross check the spelling, so you won't end up sending to @blocktradess instead of @blocktrades
It will be frustrating for you to send your funds to the wrong address after you've spent hours, days and months to earn through your rich contents.
So check and double check the name of any account you're sending funds to. I mistakenly sent $8 to a resteem bot few days ago and I've not been refunded till today, just because I mistakenly typed $8 instead of $0.057.
So guys carefully check your transactions before sending money to anyone, so you don't make transactions that you're supposed to make
Jeez! People have mind ooo
Thanks for this bro
It'll be a sin to me if i don't resteem this important post

Exactly. They were deliberately created. Humans are bound to make this mistake, and some crook are there to reap from it.
I know someone who lost over 100SBD to his phishing account.
