So I just came from Shopping and I Opened my Desktop to see if there are any Comments on my Posts or any Replies to my Comments. Surprisingly I found about 3-4 Comments from @theprophet0 I was surprised as when I Joined Steemit about a year ago he was kinda Bigshot Witness(According to me). So I did what was natural I started reading his Comments which came with various Embedded Links.
Now if I click on the Link it takes me to a Website which is a Damn good Clone Website of Steemit. Let me show you Guys. The above Link took me to this Page below.
Now do any of You Guys see any Difference?
I don't know if you guys have spotted it but there are two Differences on this WebPage.
First is that its Steewit.com Instead of Steemit.com. That Points out to it being a Clone Website.
Second is the Fact that it has me Logged out of Steemit and is asking for my Username and Password again.
Guys I strongly suggest You do not enter your Login Details into that Website. In fact, don't even visit that Website. Cause if you put your Login details on that Website chances are you are going to lose your Steemit Profile just like that.
Now I even went to his Profile to see what was all of this about and I found a lot of Spamming of Comments just like it was done to mine.
My Conclusion !
So what is my Conclusion about all of this? I feel like there are two roads to be Travelled here.
First is that his account might have been Hacked and the Other Person is Responsible for all of this.
The second option is that he is trying to Scam all of us by holding our Accounts Hostage.
So Guys please stay Away from such Links and always check before you Put in your Login Credentials.
Comment Below what your Thoughts are about This.
Guys I urge you to Resteem my post so that more People get to know about this.
Update
I was about to start Flagging his Comments and it seems @pfunk has taken action in Flagging them. I will start Flagging them too that is the Least I could do right Now.
Bro .. now this user is https://steemit.com/@sek3 is trying to take passwords ... Make a post about that bro ... He is using steemil now
Thank you so much @arunava! I reesteemed this to spread the news about this new scam site, steewit.com! It saddened me to see people trying to do the foolest thing to others for the sake of $!
I also resteemed and notified a website on google that marks the site as hazardous/phishing site. I spent about 3 hours on the phone with a very nice guy @enjoywithtroy who was just introduced to me as a close friend of a family who grew up with him. @enjoywithtroy was hacked badly and he is going to post on his experience. I will be sharing my 2 cents as well.
TLDR
The moral of the story is make sure you are careful where you go and only sign in with your posting password, unless you have to use your active password to transfer funds, and always,always, always make sure if you have to use your owners/master password that you know you are on a safe site.

A lot of scam methods appeared lately.. it's crazy. Didn't know about this one so thanks for sharing with us :)
Steemit being an open source make it easy to clone. I'd say always look at the address bar, check the 'green' certificate mark and never ever enter your password/key after clicking on redirect link. Bookmark the page or type the address yourself and login this way!
Thanks for the heads up buddy !
I personally always stay careful of clicking links especially.
Hope people get to stay from this type of attempt !
I am trying to warn people as well. I am aware of someone who may have fallen for this one. Resteemed.
I was hacked. @enjoywithtroy
Thanks @arunava for the enlightenment, I hope this info gets to everyone.
Very interesting. @theprophet0 was a prominent member here and helped me get to STEEMFest2. I hate to see this!
I would not be surprised if his account was hacked.
Me neither. I wonder if his father @theprophet can provide us with some insight...
