I still see people sending funds to (WITHOUT A), this account is not owned by
(WITH A) and they just send the money to exchanges to sell immediately.
I have submitted a pull request to have the account added to the Bad Actors list, so at least on Steemit.com, it will warn you it is not a safe account. I believe it takes a while before these type of changes to be approved and it will only warn you when using Steemit.com.
Please be sure you are sending to with the proper spelling as no one can provide any assistance in recovering your funds and they will not return them.
