RE: Don't get screwed by scam accounts while transferring your money to upvote bots!!

in #steemit7 years ago

Thanks @afrosiab for this post. You must have seen my 8SBD error to @app, not @appreciator, which was my own error. I pay closer attention after that error.

When I had to type the whole name completely, I was actually very careful; however, I got lazy when I saw the drop-down populate the "To:" field in the transfer dialog. So, of course, my fault.

The automatic drop-down is a problem in my view because now the @app account shows 1 transfer in the dialog. There is no way to edit this automatic dropdown list - that is not ok.

Furthermore, since I noticed my error immediately, there should be some recourse to 'un-transfer' within some short timeframe, like 30 or 60 seconds. This perspective is completely opposite the concept of cryptocurrency transfers and blockchain in general for keeping all data in the blockchain.

Finally, I noticed that @app has done nothing and has not transferred funds out of the wallet. This makes me think it was not originally set up for a scam. I have seen other accounts that have been.

Thanks for the post and notifying me of it.

Thank you @GoldKey for detailed comments and sharing your experience with us. Actually, some of those accounts do transfer their so called "revenue" to third party accounts such as to @angel and @warren.buffet So not all of them are so innocent as they seem to be

I completely agree with you! Many are not innocent - straight up scams. There are many that were set up as a scam. I'm sure there will be many more created.
