Dear all,
I just discovered a new kind of phishing attempt by user @mrgunk, who commented on my recent post:
Clicking on the link leads you to a domain called xn--teemit-2lc.com (through the URL-shortener bit.ly), which looks like Steemit and rotates random posts. It even shows steemit.com in the browser address-bar and you only find out about the scam, when you click on the related certificate.
Do not enter your Steemit password over there, you most likely will loose your Steem.
I flagged the guy with 100%, but maybe @steemcleaners should also take a look.
Be careful and consider telling your followers about it!
Update
Regarding to the comments @moneyroad and @barca10 are also scammers, who try to steal your passwords in a similar way.
Also check out this post by @steemitguide about a scammer with username @mateutz12.
I had the same experience with @barca10, his comments have a link to a fake "steemit" site, used for phishing. I used the @steemcleaners report form for him.
Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up my friend. As many of you know I was spammed March 2 and lost 663.843 SBD . They sent me to Steewit instead of staying on Steemit. We need to know these things. With my experience they were Romanians filtering the SBD on blocktrades through Romania, Switzerland and Amsterdam. Damn these people filthy bastards. They smell money. Again thanks @shortcut

Yes, you can’t be too cautious these days. Wherever there is money, there will be people, who try to steal it. It’s really sad.

Seems to be a few of these around. Using a password manager reduces the chances of logging into the wrong site

Best not to click any type of link I guess?

Just double check, when you are prompted to enter your password and always use your posting key to login.
The mentioned website even shows steemit.com in the browser address-bar and you only find out about the scam, when you click on the related certificate.

It seems like "steemit.com" but, in fact, the "s" has a dot underneath it, it is a different letter. At first I fell for it, thinking it was some kind of dust speck on the monitor! A smart way to confuse users and steal their passwords. Seems like a coordinated attempt from several fake users, using the same comment-text to lure readers.
