Excellent! Onceuponatime

nice post. It's useful. thanks for sharing

One drawback of being an agnostic is that I have no evidence to support the belief that there is an especially nasty part of hell reserved for scammers.

Doesn't that fuel a belief that preventing, stopping and punishing scammers is a job for us in the here and now?

Also, Newtonian thinking suggests that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thermodynamics is a B*%@h, baby!

WTH!!! sharing this, thank you for the heads up.

Copy-paste a message, change the email and website, and ta-da... scam be created...

Excellent . good information and very useful.
Thank you @onceuponatime
Upvote Resteem

Yeah @kyle noticed the same thing as well. Thanks for helping to get the word out!

there will always be people who want to take advantage of every money system. and the scam captivity is becoming more surprising

We are important to all of us. great news sir.

For your post propagation.
Upvote/Resteem

Seems like a rather transparent way of phishing.

Is anyone really going to fall for that?

There are so many new people driven from Bittrex's bullshit de-listing of bts to the bitshares and steem platforms that, yeah, some newbies might have fallen for it.

You really should censor that link or at least make it unclickable by removing the http.

I clicked the link myself to see what it did. The warning stands out enough I think.

thanks for the alart

Important and useful article you sharing @onceuponatime
Thank you.

Restreeming this

Valuable post for online users. I saw your blogs before, those are very important and talented ones. Thank you for sharing sir..
I`m following you and upvoted

Thank for steem scammer Alert!!!! good news
@onceuponatime
Have a nice day

Very useful info of steem users.
100% like and resteem

Thanks mate!

Masquerading as "Bittrex" even, I see. Rep is already down to -2 so stuff will be hidden... I just hope some innocent doesn't get taken in by this, anyway.

Thanks for the heads-up; resteemed.

Edited to add: At least they had the stupidity to spam the Steemit "richlist." Going down their wallet list reads like a "who's who" of senior Steemians.

Yes, the first thing I did was go and flag with full power his posts to get his reputation down as much as possible.

Good work!

Hadn't seen this approach before... we should probably keep a vigilant eye out for copycats. Sad... but true.

Thanks for the warnings.

Thanks for informing the community. I reported him for fraud. He will most likely be in a blacklist soon.

Thanks for this! Even as s newbie it's comforting knowing there are people out there working together to beat them!

You are a Guardian Angel @onceupontime.Keep watching and protecting!

Well done!!
Thanks for warning

Like a phisherman trying to hook a big one!

This scammer sent the message to over 130 accounts including many high profile Steemit users!

Awesome post. Those most of us wouldn't fall for this kinda transparent scam there are a lot of vulnerable and young people who really enjoy Steemit who wouldn't understand what's going on and maybe fall prey to evil twits like this. Resteeming and upvoting and thank you for spreading the word.

Scammers are using different methods to scam users. Noce article @onceuponatime

Hiii @onceuponatime, very important message delievered in your article about scam alert, we should take serious this warning and do needful action against these scammers. thanks a lot for informing.

Shared! TY for posting this!

Thanks. Glad I've read this.just new here at steemit

Thank you for this info, it's a good thing that a lot of us here are very vigilant, will share it within our discord channel as well, thank you again.

Hopefully people are smart enough to see the big 'ol red flag when they get to the GMAIL account..LOL 😆 seems legit

Hopefully, someone sent a lovely virus masked as the file that f*cker asked. ^^

Haha well that would be 'a taste of their own shit' wouldn't it?

It would be and I think it would work. :P Based on that message, this little hacker doesn't seem to be so bright.

That's what I thought as well. Gmail addresses with sketchy names are a big red flag. Another big red flag would be that they send you documents containing personal information for verification. Normally this would be the other way around. The outsider proving to be the identified account.

Thank you for posting this. Resteemed and upvoted for as much visibility as possible! - I truly hope this guy won't be able to scam anyone for a single cent.

Hopefully, people will be smart enough to spot this fake crap if they receive such a wallet-transfer.

thanks for the warning. will resteem this post for all to know.

you should edit that url http: // lsteemit. com/account-security-breach" so it does not work.

OK

I guess:
Accounttransfers accounttransfers downvote @bashadow/re-onceuponatime-scammer-alert-20171005t… (-100%)

Did not like me warning you about the link. Does not look like his downvote is worth much, as it did not have a very big effect on me. Probably pissed that I resteemed the @samstonehill hack he did.
He stole over $3,000 from @samstonehill, a lot of which was dedicated to helping the evacuees in Bali because of the Volcano. So we know where this idiots priorities lay, his wallet and not a care for another single human being on the earth. Only his self interest.

(any upvote considered, please pass on to @samstonehilltube to help rebuild his Rep)

Cheers... Just took a look and I got the same message 3 hours ago. Thanks for the heads-up!

even if 100 people ignore it and 1 person falls for it, it's probably worth it to them, It only cost them 0.001 SBD per message. I ignore everyone who sends me 0.001, SBD they all want something

Thanks for the warning. Yes hope no one will be scammed.

Thank you so much giving a great info

Nice and i like post you @onceuponatime

What a dick

I will get my pitchfork

upvoted and resteemed. If these people put even 1% of the amount of work into making the world a better place as they do trying to get something for nothing...

Thanks @onceuponatime for the heads up. Scammers everywhere trying to rip people off their hard earned cash.

Resteemed to let others know of this crappy scammer.

Smells like a scam looks like a scam feels like a scam. It is a FKing SCAMMMM!!!!!!

There will always be some crazy dumb people to be jealous of the profit from others .. Keep safe Steemians !

That bastard has put his name as "Bittrex" .He should be removed asap

Very useful or helpful article @onceuponatime

Scammer are totally crap. Thanks for the awareness.

Yeap, I have seen this one a few times. He will get nuked soon

Thanks for catching this and sharing it with the more vulnerable of us minnows. Upvoted and resteemed.

@onceuponatime,
I think this scammer focused on high profiles at the moment! Hope no one trapped to him! Anyway best thing to avoid this FLAG him, call cleaners and RESTEEM your post for let others know!
Thank you very much for sharing this useful message to the community! Actually this is a well planned scam! Really appreciate your effort friend!

Cheers~

Thanks for posting this. With the time that idiot took writing that long, fraudulent crap, he could have made a legitimate post, and made some money honestly on Steemit. Now he shall suffer the wrath of 400,000 really ticked-off Steemians! lol

How dumb one has to be to run such a scam with such a dumb email address? LOL!

Report soon to steemit support center, then they will block soon scammer activity for the features.

Thank you for letting us know, have you submitted that to steemcleaners? There is a form you can fill here. I'm not sure if they deal with such cases of abuse, but you have nothing to lose.

I looked at steecleaners to see if this was in their area of concern, but it appears not to be. They concentrate on plagiarists (and that is already more than they can handle LOL)

I see. Well, plagiarism is a plague here, maybe that's why they can't deal with abuse too ;)

ow!!
but they were very helpful at that time..

Thanks for sharing this valuable info. This does show again that scammers do everything and are everywhere....

Scammers are everywhere to be found on the web. I strongly believe that it is because of the need or love of money that makes them pursue such online career. They don`t discriminate based on status, religion, sex, or ethnicity. They scam any people, anytime, any day and anywhere.

Very Good Piece of information! I also received same message, but i decided to wait for confirmation.

We all just needs to be careful, don't fall for this cheap scammers.

Wow, that is really a shady tactic. But I am afraid that will probably not be the last time we see that. Just like with spam and fishing emails, they never go away.

Thanks for pointing that out!

just followed you how come now recent posts?

Even though you posted this last month, recently I’m finding more and more scammers. Have you encountered others similar to this one?

Greetings from Venezuela, excellent post, I invite you to visit my blog

When you read your name in another post, I immediately came to your channel to see what it was about, do you know why? There is a series called Once Upon a Time, of which I am very fanatical and I rarely thought that you were talking about it. I know it's not the case but I just wanted to tell you haha. regards @onceuponatime
