So we have the benevolent whale Hive account@randowhale that everyone knows and adores.

There's the friendly Hive account@minnowbooster powered by Hive account@thecryptodrive & Hive account@reggaemuffin boosting steemians across steemiverse.

We have Hive account@aggroed's Hive account@lovejuice spreading love and cheer!

Basically, a lot of new bots are popping up to help Steemians help themselves and get that extra push.

Scam:

But then I noticed something fishy today.

I saw a comment from a supposedly new bot Hive account@getvotes that was promoting itself on another post. And the bot itself got a vote from Hive account@randowhale.

The Fishy Part:

So I checked the bot out and the basic rule states that:

amount greater than 0.5 Steem or 0.5 SBD will get you a 100% upvote from Hive account@getvotes

amount greater than 3 Steem or 3 SBD will get you a vote from a big fish

1. It will vote with what ?

The account itself is new and look at the delegated SP:

2. A user sends 3 SBD

2SBD goes to Hive account@randowhale.
What about the magically disappearing 1 SBD?

Let me know your thoughts on this.

And if this is indeed legit, can the real person behind the bot present himself and explain (Unlikely).

Would these fine folks care to answer instead?

Parting Thoughts: Please be careful with your hard-earned steem and think/investigate properly before sending SBDs.
