Scam Alert: Resteem with 6000+ Followers And guaranteed of 200+ UPVOTES (fake accounts)!
jones420
So guy named @jones420 is doing resteem service for 6000+ followers and he also guarantees you 200+ upvotes. Well, doing resteem service for is not a big deal but 200+ upvotes guarantee is little scatchy.
So yesterday I was checking my wallet and I saw that @thepunisherr sent me a 0.001 with message that he do resteem service on another account (@jones420). I thought it is cool but I was little suspicious...
So I decided to go to @jones420 account and see what's going on. And here is what I saw...guess what...he resteemed tons of posts and each one has 200+ upvotes.
So I checked how much each posts has Views and Comments and every one ot them has wierd Comment/view and Upvote ratio.
So basically this guy uses 200+ fake accounts to upvote every single post he resteems.
Next thing is his wallet. Every hour he gets 2SBD or more and this is not big money by 1 resteem but when you see a lot of people are using this scam service you will get the bigger picture.
From his profile, there is a lot of people who have not even get back their investment and it is sad that people believe this!
Wow, it never occurred to me that the accounts could be fake! It's way more work, in my opinion, to create a bunch of fake accounts then do the low value activity of follow for follow. Thanks for the warning!
No problem bro ;)

thank you for taking care of steemit community. It's like we are your little sheeps and you take care of us. thank you shepherd
hahhah
lol I got that message too.
Wanna know where he got his strategy from? American Evangelicals. John Oliver had a segment on this last year. In short, the evangelist would send you $1 and say that if you return the dollar and another $100, you would get far more in heaven. It's called the seed promise. Invest some seed money and watch it grow.
Feel free to see the video if you want, this isn't meant to be spam, just an example/source for my statement. watch at the 5:00 mark forward.
Thanks for this. I went to his page and hit the MUTE button. Maybe that will help
That would be the best option. Yes ;)

This behavior is disheartening, to say the least. Just one example of bleeding the system. It seems to be so prevalent that everyone wants to do it.
How do we stop these things?
Yes. I don't even know. He has (0) reputation and there is no way to flag him because he does not comment or post. Maybe there is a place where we can report him. Will definitely check out for solutions ^^
Interesting. Flagging would have been my first thought but he has found a way around it.
Yeep.
Same thing he did to me, he will send 0.001SBD telling me he will resteem my post to 200+ followers, i checked his profile and saw that he is nothing but a scam....
This guy @jonas420 ?
