a little investigation...
I noticed that this fraud posing as "prettygirl"...

stole the verification picture from this girl:

also looking at his other posts it is all mostly plagiarized content:
https://steemit.com/@prettygirl
then I looked at his wallet and saw he transferred his little earnings to his main account "gamnama".
https://steemit.com/@prettygirl/transfers
which is a reputation (7) account with a post that earned over 2k (and plagiarized from sheknows.com).
https://steemit.com/@gamnama
a look at his wallet shows he received payments from a series of scam accounts (most of them now banned).
https://steemit.com/@gamnama/transfers
all the material he and his minnion accounts post is all ripped off the net as google image/ text search shows.
such scammers should be penalized and not rewarded if the reputation system is to be taken seriously.
hopefully
can sort it out. but also the community needs to be more proactive ( right click > "search google for image" unmasks many of these shams)
