And my joy of attaining a hundred following was short-lived.
I decided to relate with some steemians on steemit chat some minutes ago and while i was in the general chat forum this account @crypt0 messaged me directly and asked me to send him some 1 SBD for an upvote. As a wise person, at least i thought i was, i checked his account. It seemed legit.
@crypt0 then asked me to send it to an account named
@poloniex. My thought was this was just a third party, thinking when the account receives it, he get on with his end of the deal, a 70% upvote.
@crypt0 changed the bargain then after i had sent it saying he would upvote me tomorrow when his voting power gets to a hundred and added as well that i should send the remaining 0.9SBD I had.
He was seeming desperate, he claimed he needed SBD to promote his team and so i sent the remaining 0.9SBD I had.
As i tried to asked when will i get my end of the bargain tomorrow, he blocked me in the chat.
This is to warn steemians of @crypt0 in steemit chat who asks steemians to send SBDs to a
@poloniex account for a carefully coined reason that will suit the target. I'm thankful i didn't lose more than 1.9SBDs, but there are still other victims who have lost much and will still lose if this scammer is not stopped as soon as possible. See poloniex transaction history;
Be careful steemians!
Resteem to your followers as well save everyone from being a victim to this scammer!!
