I almost lost my account yesterday due to Phishing, and it was a really close call!
A comment from saying someone had copied my work without my permission so I clicked on the link to see what the fuss was all about!
The website It took me to was so similar to steemit it looked perfectly alike!
The only fishy thing was that it asked for my password again. If you have noticed Steemit doesn't do that when you open a new tab. I was quite surprised and was lazy to re-enter my password. So I just viewed it and closed the tab.
Later I received a comment from stating
Then I revisited the link and I was surprised to see this
Man that was close!! If I had entered my password there I would have gift wrapped it and directly handed it over to the scammer and there is nothing I could have done later on.
Everytime you enter a password make sure you see this
Note : The domain name might be anything other than steemit so keep that in mind
The money we made here, didn't just appear overnight. We worked hard for it right? And there is this asshole somewhere out there trying to steal all of it just by fooling us. Let me tell you this there was no such thing a few months back it was all clean, since there is more money/users involved now the scammers eyes are upon the vulnerable .
So this post is a heads up for you guys so that you don't fall into the same trap and be a VICTIM of phishing.
If you see such activities make sure you report them to either
Stay safe, stay secured!! Have a good day fellas!
