Scammers in the Chat

Hey Steemit friends,

I wanted to share this with you to make sure you are aware of the scammers and thieves that are trying to exploit people through the Steemit Chat.
I received a message from someone posing as @steemed-proxy. This account on Steemit is a very powerful and someone on chat is using their user name to trick people.

Watch out!

If you are messaged by someone that is asking to trade SBD for upvotes, don't do it. It may be tempting because it can seem like something like @randowhale or @booster.
Do not trust people asking you to transfer Steem to their bittrex account!

His English is a little sloppy, but seems like a nice guy....

Hmmm is this guy trying to be like a @randowhale service, trading Steem for upvotes??

Let's see....

More? What..?!

OH crap! I just realized I was tricked. I felt so stupid for being gullible. That was not smart at all.

Now he is asking to exchange SBD for STEEM. There is no way I am falling for that one.

Now, I don't know if my last comment is true, but I wanted to see if I could scare him after pissing me off.

I hope sharing this will help when people encounter these scammers in the chat room.
I am still somewhat new to the cypto world and this is an eye opener that their are people trying to us different means to scam and steal from you.
Keep an eye out for situations like this and share them.

Have a Steemy day and don't get scammed!
Please share with the community.
