Account recovered and back up 😁
Thanks again @drakos! If it weren’t for you I would still be emailing back and forth to the guys over at Blocktrades trying to tell them they should provide me with a recovery. Glad you stepped in and made them realize!
I owe you!

Tell him to go to the Steemcleaners Discord channel. If he edits all the phishing comments sent from his account to make them harmless (just replace the existing phishing message with ‘spam comment deleted’), they can remove the flags, reinstating his rep score.
Make sure you tell him not to delete those comments, slnce they can’t remove the flags when the comments have been deleted.
(I fell victim too, that’s why I know 😉)

Just a note: tell him to replce the comments with ‘comment deleted’.
I just realized that ‘spam comment deleted’ is not very good for your reputation, lol

Thanks a lot. You have such an adorable heart. Sincerely appreciate this. He said he has been trying to edit his comments but he couldn't. Kinda surprising.
