I apologise for the serious tone of this post.
However, there is a new scam occurring via Steemit, in the wake of the recent and ongoing Byteball Airdrop!
In case you have been trapped in a cave for the past week or so, this airdrop has been delivering Bytes (a quality cryptocurrency with real value) to Steemians, based on their reputation.
However, crafty scammers have taken advantage of the referral scheme and are making off with people's Bytes!
(I want to make it very clear that this is in no way the responsibility of the Byteball team or anyone associated with them.)
The scam goes like this:
As a Byteball referrer, you receive a message from someone that appears to be taking you up on your offer to fund their airdrop attestation charge.
You then send them 60,000 - YES! 60,000 Bytes from your own wallet!
And that's it!
They don't complete the process and make off with the Bytes.
In US $ terms, 60,000 Bytes is worth somewhere in the region of 0.01$!
Just think!
These callous individuals could be making off with 10, 15 or maybe even 20 cents of value by repeating this scam multiple times.
They must be rubbing their hands with glee!
Normal service will resume tomorrow!
