It is very important and very urgent that all post alerting about this scam be resteemed so as to create the awareness of the scam and also spread the information to stop the scam.

A memo to the scammer(s):

Dear scammer, it is so sad and unfortunate that as intelligent as you are, you choose to waste a very good talent to reap off from other people. Your talent would reap you a hundred fold good reward if put into positive use. Sadly your intelligence did not teach you to be too smart. You will be figured out and you get what's coming for you. Put your talent into a better use to profit you and a community you can build with such intelligence.
Is not too late. Shut down your clone site and amend your ways.

Four different steemit accounts have been fished out:

OG scammer @good-kama -> notice the fishiness of his name
ALT accounts operated by the scammer: @omikunlejackson, @samriamelissa, @lalo78, @kilbride

Beware of these accounts and any scamming comment with a link.

There is a 10sbd or more bounty for those who resteem these post. If you resteemed, comment "resteemed" on the comment section of this post.

5 winners will be selected for the bounty.
You never know, may just be your lucky day to win some SBD by just resteeming a post.

Any one with good information or know how clone sites can be taking down can contact @runicar. He has a 50sbd reward prize for that person.

Thank you for stopping by and resteeming.

Thanks for the alert @ceepee. Resteemed!!!

Many accounts were hacked and are used by the scammer(s) to lure users to steemil.com. I wrote a post about this https://steemit.com/scam/@drakos/beware-of-clicking-links-in-phishing-comments-pointing-to-steemil-com

I still don't understand why people fall prey of clicking links from unsolicited mails, comments and the likes. But we all have to make sure steemit is safe for us all
