RE: SCAM ALERT: No witness will ever ask you for your passwords or keys!
I wish I could have see some of these posts sooner. I was scammed friday Mar 2 by Gtg.witnesses and good-kama I lost 663.834 in SBD and posted on it tonight. - Blessings - Troy
I'm sorry to hear that. Have you already changed your password?
I have changed my master key. I learned that they took all my SBD - 663.843 (over $2,000 in dollars) and traded it on block trades. The transaction was traced to Romania , Switzerland and Amsterdam. I sense they are high tech. It is a shame they allow these folks to continue on Steemit. It is also a shame that these folks continue to get by with this. It would be good if we had a group on Steemit who could address these concerns or victims of this abuse. From what I learned they continue to do this on Steemit and send you to Steewit. They also scammed my comments, compromised my reputation and took 22.641 in steem tokens and exceeded my bandwitdth. My upvote is worthless for at least the next 7 days. I worked with a steemian via phone from Hampton, IA USA to change my master key and send some emails out to Steemit abuse on steemit chat and blocktrades. Feel free to read my bog. Thanks for responding. I wish justice could be served. Do you have any suggestions???? Blessings - Troy
Steem is a decentralized platform. No party could stop others from using it so for example totalitarian government can't effectively stop their citizens from posting... but that also means that there's no central "police" that can stop such abuse.
But if you can identify abuser (and usually, even if they are trying hard, sooner or later they make a mistake that allows to identify them, and prosecute under their own jurisdiction).
Thanks for thend kind response. They do their harm by misrepresentation. They have taken your name and misrepresent it as gtg.witnesses (slightly different) and the same with good-karma and good-kama (the later they use). Finally they send you to a misrepresented Steemit as steewit. Clever. Well folks need to know this stuff to protect themselves. Without policing this is allowed to thrive. Thanks my friend.
