Scam Alert: Who Is @mohsinahmed
Yesterday my friend @noemillunastorta resteemed a post by @antonette in which she described her situation... which by the way is dire. But, the name at the bottom of the post did not belong to her, it belonged to someone named @mohsinahmed. In an effort or help, I too resteemed the post and sent $25 SBD to the name at the bottom of the post (@mohsinahmed) as did one of my followers, who also desired to help @antonette, a young mother in the Philippines who had been evicted and had no food money for her children.
When I checked my blog later, the post I had resteemed was completely different than the one I had tried to resteem by @antonette... confused yet? I know I am! I checked @noemilunastorta's blog and the same thing happened to her... It was not @antonette's post on her blog page, it was the same as the one on mine. How could this happen? When I read it on my friend's resteem yesterday, it was the right post with the wrong name at the bottom. That's why I resteemed it myself. Not knowing Antonette, I assumed it was her username.
Thank God that many of the wonderful people here in the Steemit community stepped up to help (and the $$$ went to the right place. I checked @mohsinahmed's wallet and naturally the money I sent as well as the money my other friend sent was gone... and not to Antonette. Obviously this guy is a ripoff artist... if you see any of his posts- FLAG THEM!!! Let's make him pay for stealing money from a desperate woman with sick children (they have chicken pox) and no place to live... This is despicable!!! Please resteem this post so as many people as possible can be made aware. ALL money I make from this will go to @antonette (as well as the original $25 I had intended which I'm sending now)

Oh my God someone uses my name ..This is ridiculous how can this people use my situation for their own good sake ..
I'm just happy that everything turned out OK for you... that's all that really matters. I sent you a little cash and whatever I get from this post is yours too. It's unbelievable to me that anyone would take advantage of someone in your position. But he's being taken care of... All of his posts have been flagged out of existence and his reputation is now 11. I checked his blog page and every post was cut and paste of other people's articles! Unbelievable!!! Just give your kids a big hug for the Crazy Old Man of Steemit!
I agree this is unbelievable and who did this should be banned in my opinion.
That's what I don't understand.. at some point the devs need to step up!
By the way... tell your mom the new Night Gods is out! LOL
thank you for letting me know and tnx to my friend @zararina for sending me DM of your link about this scammer.I just figured out today that someone was usin me and my situation .
OMG Some people can be so disgusting
I know! I sent this ass $25! Then had to send another $25 to the right person. I also sent her the little bit I made off the post... I'm happy to say, she's ok now. She and her kids have a place and plenty of food thanks to the Steemit community!!! (What a great place)
Thank you for telling me , i noticed too that the post i resteemed was not the one i shared before for help the homeless mum, i was very disappointed!! :(
I know, I went back to your blog and a different one was there too! That's OK though... we got him good! He's been flagged into oblivion, his rep is 9 and he hasn't posted in days! Antonette is Ok now, she has a place, food etc. Thanks to the great people like you!!!
Is such a shame that someone stole other posts!! :(
Especially from somebody like that!
O my goodness - people can be so very very weird and without a heart or any guilt - so glad this is out in the open now - Resteeming
Thank you! The woman id Ok now, thanks to the people in the Steemit community. She and her kids have a place and plenty of food now!
That is wonderful news - wow this Steemit keeps on amazing me
Thanks for making us aware RESTEEMED !!
How do you flag a post ? I will flag all his post so he doesn't scam more people.
At the right of any post on the feed is a flag... just click on it.
you'll be happy to know that 'he' has been flagged down on all 'his' content and rep is now 11
Yes, I checked his blog page. Now it's time to keep up the pressure... We need to flag him back to Fakebook!
It stinks, but we Steemians are the citizen patrol. We have an open platform to work with. I'm done dealing with scammers and spammers. Don't support them in any way. Flag them when it suits you, but we have to rid ourselves of these folks.
Check the guy's blog page... everything is cut and paste from someone else... There is a time when the devs have to step up!
If we are going to have any standards, the Devs do need to make some tweaks. Reporting to @steemcleaners can be of help too.
That's the biggest surprise to me... that they didn't catch it (or maybe they did and I didn't see it.)
Scammers everywhere, they suck!!! I'll resteem it. Thank you for the advise!
Thank you... the more people we can make aware the better!
