It seems that I'm currently attracting Scammers - but I'll take it as long as I can protect my fellow Steemains.
So I've received the following transfer-message from @marvels in which I was getting told that I should download a Steemit App from the googleplay-store.

As soon as I saw the message I noticed a few red flags.
Red Flags
1.) Broken English
2.) 20 SP (~60 USD) for a login?
3.) The id: com.steemit.dtubee
4.) The App itself - 4 reviews. 100% all fake.

Phishing Attempt
I'm 100% sure that whoever created the app, send the transfer and wrote the fake reviews is trying to get your keys.
That means: Don't install the app or you'll lose your keys!
If you have an android phone - please report/flag the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steemit.dtubee) to have it removed from the store!
Additionally, please share this post to warn your fellow Steemians!

That guy is a crazy person who isn't able to accept that he received what he paid for, but doesn't understand the math behind it and thus thinks he got scammed. Most people would be reasonable and accept when they were wrong. But that person .. he rather starsts a script for multiple accounts and spams under every post.
By the way - that's the "charity-post":

I also received some comments on my posts which had very low reputation which were trying to redirect me to some unknown links. This is not a new trick. Many scammers plays this trick.
I think the best thing is to check any link before opening it. For this one just need to hover the mouse cursor over the link and see the web address in the address bar at the bottom left corner of the browser. It will reveal the web address. If the link doesn't pertain to proper steemit or any steem api, then never click it. Also, if the website or link is not starting with https: then it may not be safe to open that link.
I think such users who send such malicious links to anyone, should be flagged so that their post may not remain visible.
You did a nice job by alerting the users against those maliciously intended comments etc.
This is bad, thanks alot @therealwolf for notifying us.
I wonder why peeps still feel the need to rip this system were opportunity to make money is given for free.
GREED is the answer I guess.
What a shame

@therealwolf thanks for the valuable information, I resteemed it yesterday. I know i was cutting it close on the resteem due to its age. What is a good rule of thumb on resteeming, what would be the cut off age of a post here on Steemit! I am a newbie learning the ropes and find posts like this very useful. So yes, again, thanks for the share!
