RE: SCAM ALERT: No witness will ever ask you for your passwords or keys!

in #security7 years ago

Hey @gtg . I just had this scam message in my wallet and wanted to make a warning post about it. Instead I now reblog your post.
Very sad. Recently these kind of phishing tries are seen much more often. Even worse there is users that fall for it. Ive seen ppl in discord channels.
There is really no chance to stop them, right? Somehow steemit should have a ban list to not show their messages to protect new ppl better.

Thank you :-)
Well, yes, there's no good way for stopping such scam attempts. There will be always new ways and new ideas on how to trick users. Of course scammers usually make mistakes and sooner or later they will be punished, but new will come, as long as people will fall for it.

Those guys also tried to trick me but I know that you are the kind of witness who would never do such silly and tricky stuff! I simply ignored and muted them. Hope you are well!
