This is special message to @ngc
Dear sir @ngc, you should now aware of someone else use your name (similar name with your steemit account name) and/or act on behalf of you to scam and commit fraud to many people on discord channels. I was one of his/her victim this morning. By may mistaken he/she managed to get 10 SBD from me transferred to
@blocktrades with this code on the memo : DMvndrYNykdcdG7jBpgVsSs6vqz4c5C5Gy
They are deliberately searching of some big whale names/steemit ID and use it as their name on discord channel to get attention from minnows.
I hope this information will be used properly to protect yourselves. For big healthy whales I expect that you will pay any necessary attention to kind of things in the future. I sure that you with your advance knowledge on IT, will eventually find him/her real account both on discord and steemit.
His/her name is in the red circle. Please take a note. this @ngc is NOT the same
@ngc on steemit platform, so do not get wrong!!
2.. He/she will start to negotiate the price with you
The negotiation will end up with little amount of SBD, as you agreed and then he/she will guide you to transfer it to @blocktrades with mentioned
This is how he/she would seduce you to pay and take your SBD ot Steem for his own advantages
3.. This is how I get on his/her traps
I response all the messages from him/her what we talk about personal purpose on the chat. I am very open minded fro new friends no matter of his/her reputation. That is also my weaknesses I won't say not to help others in need as long as I could.
Pay good attention on the code to put on the memos. Unfortunately I was aware about it when I say the other memo on #blocktrades are very different and I changed all the key access to my steemit account immediately
And the last here is the transaction I made to #blocktrades :
Finally, I made transaction to blocktrades as you can see at my account activities
I was lucky when I realize the code was strange so then I immediately changed the whole access key to my steemit account, and I strongly recommend you to DO NOT USE YOUR MASTER KEY for log in and transferring things, but use proper key for it such as active key, posting key and memo key to ensure your security purpose.
I am sure that many of us have had similar experience and I hope this post will help you detect scamming. cheating, abusing, and action of theft, and please secure you account by not to use your master key when you log in into steemit platform. Let's hope my stupidity will not happen again in the future.
Life must goes on, and this is really expensive lessons for me for better managing account. I hope he/she will eventually realize that there is no good life for being a thief!!
