Phishing exploit has been stopped - Scammers thwarted!
Thank you @arcange! Glad to have you as a witness, you will always have my vote!
Thanks for doing what you did to help. I was also aware of this and had seen the real samstonehill who has made a new account and sucks that he got roped into giving up his master pass.
Steemit is amazing overall and the fact that there are different levels of passwords is great. Also, the bad actors will be run out by the community!
Great work, and thanks, @arcange! Upvoted, resteemed and am now following you! I will also vote for you as a witness! Thank you so much for being a watcher and fighter to protect this wonderful platform.
Thank you so much for your support. Really appreciated =)
Thank you for the bot. It is likely that this loveylgirl that started posting on sam's account is connected to or actually is a known international scammer, norman king. I understand the whois queries on the past well known scams come back as a ned scott, but the lovelygirl connection is what likely links it back to norman king whose been known to use fake ids. Norman king (him or his associates) left on a transfer wall an email address he had been using for years, which still gets used to this day.
The below is a post by Omar hesham reporting one scammer-whom my research found it to be norman king-which I thus commented on if you want to learn more about him and his history.
