a little investigation...
I noticed that this fraud posing as "prettygirl"...
https://steemit.com/steemit/@prettygirl/hey-steemers-if-you-had-a-thousand-dollars#@simoneighties/re-condra-re-prettygirl-hey-steemers-if-you-had-a-thousand-dollars-20160803t163116531z
stole the verification picture from this girl:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@doe/hi-steemit--i-m-doe-a-cartoon-animator-storyboarder-illustrator-and-all-things-related-or
also looking at his other posts it is all mostly plagiarized content:
https://steemit.com/@prettygirl
then I looked at his wallet and saw he transferred his little earnings to his main account "gamnama".
https://steemit.com/@prettygirl/transfers
which is a reputation (7) account with a post that earned over 2k (and plagiarized from sheknows.com).
https://steemit.com/@gamnama
a look at his wallet shows he received payments from a series of scam accounts (most of them now banned).
https://steemit.com/@gamnama/transfers

all the material he and his minnion accounts post is all ripped off the net as google image/ text search shows.
such scammers should be penalized and not rewarded if the reputation system is to be taken seriously.

hopefully cheetah@cheetah anyx@anyx ned@ned dan@dan smooth@smooth can sort it out. but also the community needs to be more proactive ( right click > "search google for image" unmasks many of these shams)
