RE: WARNING: Be careful for Active Phishing Scams on Steemit
I'm sorry to hear you lost funds! At least you reclaimed your STEEM account.
I inspected the website, which actually looks semi-professional, minus the spelling errors. The crooks made it fairly convincing.
Here is what you have to look out for.
When you click on their sign up button they take you to their fake STEEM Connect website. I took a screenshot, as this is the first one I have seen. The URL should not look like this:
Always make sure you use the real https://steemconnect.com/
You can learn more about STEEM Connect on the official @steemitblog. It is a very useful tool in the Steemit ecosystem.

This is so helpful!! Thank you so much for your support. I am now more then aware of it :) Learned it the hard way haha. The only thing I saw on the fake website was ‘get upvotes for 30 days for free’... Very naive and impulsive action! @steemitblog is a great resource, thanks a lot!
