SCAM ALERT! Scam operation using @minnowbooster images.

miti (75)in #scam • 7 years ago (edited)

Hello steemit friends,

today in my usual fight against spammers, I came across this scam operation.

In fact @hottopic use @minnowbooster images to promote his service (upvote and resteem).

It's increbible how he made this without any interest for consequences.

Here the proof:

@hottopic page:

https://steemit.com/@hottopic/comments

@minnowbooster page:

minnowbooster scam 2.jpg

As you can see, @hottopic use a IDENTICAL LOGO, I think it's most likely that some users could think @hottopic is @minnowbooster affiliate.

I think that this is a very serious event.. I reported this to @steemcleaners and wrote this post because I would warn you against this kind of scam operation.

PLEASE RESTEEM this post to help as many steemitians as possible.

If only hot-topic would send more than just 0.001 STEEM to everyone it wants to follow them... like say 15-20 Steem, that would get me on board... I just hope people weren't damaged too much.
