SECURITY ALERT! DO NOT CLICK "READ MORE" Links in Steem Posts!
I recently visited a new profile named @stoneboy and upon checking the posts there discovered that they were just copy pasted from other sites. But one post in particular may be a security risk... PLEASE Take Caution When You See "Read More" Links!
The post in question is https://steemit.com/story/@stoneboy/the-legend-of-sleepy-hollow-story
At the bottom you will see a "READ MORE" link that leads to a suspicious web address.
Always check the destination site before clicking a link and you can do that simply by hovering your mouse over the link and it's destination will usually appear in the bottom left of the screen like in the image above.
Another way is to right-click on the link and choose copy link address , then paste in notepad as shown below.

If the destination web address is rather dubious Please Do Not Click!
Always think twice before clicking those links. Stay safe everyone!
Thanks for the heads up will be sharing this one.
Please do, thanks! Buti na lang na notice ko agad na kakaiba ang website ng link na yun. :o

Ingat lang po tayo, pa minsan-minsan may mga scammer dito sa Steemit.
bukod sa mga phishing links ano pa bang mga chances na mascam yung mga newbie na gaya ko?
Check this link by surpassinggoogle, it's another security alert against scammers:

Welcome, do take care.
what is zippyshare dot com?
I don't know either, all I know is I'm not clicking that zippyshare link dubiously hidden behind the "Read More" ._.
Looks like the community has taken some action against the guy already. His rep's gone down. So yes, thanks for the head's up! 😊
You're welcome, we just have to keep our wits about us. :]
