RE: SCAM ALERT - Fake Steemit website try to steal your password!

in #steemit7 years ago

The scammers are getting craftier by the day. If these guys put as much effort into legitimate enterprises as the do towards scams, they would probably be much better off financially.

Sort:  

This a very profound and nasty scam.

If the scammers posts a blog here on Steemit, then users could unknowingly be redirected to the scam website. If the blog where to contain the maleficent URL.

Especially when the Steemit website has sometimes connection issues, so it's not a strange thing to have to log in again.

If you're already Logged in and and a Link asks you to RE-Log in, that's a Heads up !

Yes, it becomes a good time to open a new window; clear your history; and for sake of peace, log in only after requested to, in the new window.

I hope that makes sense!

Peace.

Problem is they don't necessarily care.

True, but scams take effort and time to setup. I guess they don't care about wasting their time.

You could say the same about banksters and advertising companies.
