RE: What the...Help!? [My First Steemit Scammer Encounter!?]
Shit too many of them
Seriously, dont trust anyone with lousy English with sweet promises
So sorry that happened, but at least there's a lesson.
Should state his name, btw, so others can watch out
A friend almost got scammed as well. Someone pretending to be xaero1, saying gonna delegate huge, but just to send him a steem/sbd first.
Careful, my friend 😐
Lesson definitely learned :) I wasn't sure whether to expose his name, so I'll do it here.
The user is @lifewordmission, but he told me to send the SBD on his other account, @blocktrades, so people can recognize it.
The problem with users on chat (especially on discord), we can make account using any username, so by pretending to be a known account with high SP, this is how they trick people
So just keep it mind, it might not be the real lifewordmission/blocktrades/whoever famous that you chatted with
What a bummer, hey
Ok, so you mean they can provide a fake name even for a SBD transfer?
Either way, better smarts next time :)
I didn't know they are already all over the place. Thanks @thekitchenfairy for the educational words! :)
