WARNING -
is one of many ripp-off's out there charging 0.7 $SBD for a resteem 30 + upvotes and new followers...
Yes I'm writing about this major mistake I made giving it a try. How did I come to know about this service? When browsing through my wallet and transactions I noticed that I had received 0.001 STEEM with the following message - "Promote your post. Send 0.700 SBD / 1.0 STEEM and url in memo and your post will be resteemed with over 8.000+ followers , Min 30+ Upvote , Hugewhale Upvote . Your post will be more popular and you will find new friends. Send 0.700 SBD or 1.0 STEEM to ( URL as memo ) Service Active".
So I gave it a go and tied it in order to see what and how it would turn out for me. BIGGEST MISTAKE on Steemit so far. I send the 0.7 $SBD and the post link in the memo and wated...
24 hours later I can Report the following;
- I had recieved 30 upvotes as promised all with 15% upvote and with no more than 15 SP each giving me an upvote of about $0.02.
- Connections, follows or comments? Nothing, all the comments on the posts are either from alternate Bid-Bots that I used or my regular followers.
- My post was resteemed to the 8000+ followers, but may I add following
is one of the requirements of making use of this ripp-off service.
Today alone I recieved 3 other services like the one mentioned above which you can see in my wallet history.

THE 30+ UPVOTES
WALLET AT THE TIME OF WRITING
Don't get me wrong I am not bad mouthing anyone, but when it comes to scams and fraudsters I have to expose them and I wan't to warn other steemians not to fall for these tricks. If anyone knows of how people like these can get reported or addressed I would like to hear about it.
