RE: [FAKE PROFILES AT STEEMIT!] POSSIBLE SCAMMERS HAVE FOUND US! BEWARE!

in #steemit7 years ago

Here's one I thought sketchy, in the comment section of a 'small cap coin" article, I spotted a reasonable comment and went to look to see if I might want to follow . I read his first article about a possible up and coming coin. And then there it was: Send money (coin)with his key..No service offered just send $$$, so one more thing to look for. Maybe we need volunteer screeners to spot scams or if it's just language/translation issues...

Sort:  

That's not even a scam, that's just pure begging. I am able to tune that out like the plethora of "homeless" enterprising beggars at traffic intersections. I'm not heartless, but i need to know more before I give. Like the guy in Sri Lanka that stellebelle and I each sent money to so he could build a well in a drought ridden land - instant $50 from me and $75 from Stellebelle. but scammers wont just come out and ask, they will take you for a ride and sell you bullshit.
