has uncovered an elaborate scam of the account
.
If you remember, this account painted my portrait. Well, guess what? I just went to the real Elena Malva on Facebook and learned that she is NOT ON STEEMIT.
Here's her pleas on Facebook to stop the Steemit scammer:
Read the full story by here and how he contacted the real Elena:

And I have been flagging this account, so my voting strength is wiped out. I couldn't reduce the $33 payout on this post by the scammer: https://steemit.com/art/@elena2017/6zafpk-good-morning-friends
So, please help me out in reducing the rewards to zero and also reducing the repuation.
This is really disgusting. As an artist myself, I find this completely intolerable. Artists have always been taken advantage of throughout history, and Steem was designed to help creatives earn rewards for their creative contributions.
I HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR SCAMMERS, IDENTITY THIEVES, SPAM AND PLAGIARISM.
I think it has gotten a bit out of control, so I will be focusing on this, working with people who have an investigative streak. Together, we can make Steemit good. If you're a scammer and reading this, just STOP. Your scam will be uncovered.
Why don't you go out and draw a fucking picture.
Oh, that's right, you have a black hole where your heart should be, I forgot.
Get real people. This will not be tolerated. For fuck's sake. Taking advantage of an artist in Ukraine. I am very disappointed to learn the truth, and it's disgusting how this account used my name to create credibility...by drawing a portrait of me. You should be ashamed of yourself.
It's time to clean Steemit.
The best part of this is that has invited the real Elena to Steemit. As many of us have grown to like the artwork of this amazing person, she already has an audience. I will introduce her to the Steemit community when she arrives, and make sure that her scammer,
is snuffed out.
