The huge success of steem and its ecosystem has led to influx of scammers, phishing agents and spam ambassadors!!! Worryingly, One big scammer / Thief contacted me via steemit chat purporting to be my dear witness and steemain @kingscrown however he tried to fuck with the wrong guy (I always do my due diligence) and I know that @kingscrown will never ask for SBD to be sent to his poloniex account for an upvote (he don’t take money for upvote and he is an honest gentleman).
Moreover kingscrrown the steemit chat scammer has double rr in his name and thought that am blind to notice? (what an idiot!!). Below are points to note about scams here on steemit and evidence of our conversations :
Resteem Scam : This scam is usually sent via steemit wallet requesting you to send some SBD for them to resteem your post to thousands of their followers. The issue, is that those followers will not likely check those posts because they see hundreds of daily resteem from the same account and thus will ignore.
Phishing Scam: Do not click any weird link sent to you via steemit chat or to your wallet (make sure that you have a good anti-virus / Phishing software). The intent of these scammers is to steal your keys and rob you of your hard earned money.
**Upvote Scam: **Last few months , @lovelygirl sent too good to be true messages via steemit wallets which smells and sounds like a scam…another one was from @optimisticguy . Most worringly, a scammer used the name of a good steemian and witness @kingscrown to scam me of my hard earned gold : Steem Dollars(SBD) purporting to upvote my posts if I send the SBD to his poloniex account…below is evidence of our conversation (Note, my conversation with the scammer was intended to get evidence and post here in order to warn our steemit community, so upvote and resteem in order for others to see and take note-together we are stronger).
The below evidence showsthat Kingscrrown AKA The Steemit Chat Scammer / Thief is not our dear withness and lovely steemian @kingscrown and I hope that he sees this post and stop the theif that is using his good name to scam others....defend your good name @kingscrown my buddy.
As a community, we should stand strong and unite against spams, scams and bad behavior in order for the long run success of our steemit platform.

nice catch!
welcome buddy...he wanted to spoil your good name however I know that you will never ask for money to upvote a post...I later set trap and destroyed him...hope we have mechanism here to link steemit chat profile with account in order to avoid such issue.
Using irrelevant tags, especially popular tags, makes it hard to find good and relevant content.Please try to use only relevant tags when posting.
The “introduceyourself” tag is for creating a post that tells us about you. Users are encouraged to use this tag exclusively for that, and not to reuse it.
You have a rep of 63, over 3000 followers, and 13000 posts on steemit. I think people are aware of you at this point :)
@steemcleaners good point, I agree. However have you and your team stopped the theif? what are you doing to stop the scammer that is scamming people here on steemit? that is a bigger issue than tag isnt it? daily wallet scam, resteem scam , chat scam and plagiarism and you did not even comment about it? These issues are relevant to me and other steemians -hence why I shared it for new guys to note.... and more important than you upvoting your comment here on my post...I got your point, so remove your comment upvote , comment and take action about the issue
This is really unfortunate. People should learn to be real. If you work hard, you make it in life and not go through the back door.
good comment
Guys, upvote and resteem in order for us to expose the thief -to prevent others falling victim of this scam
And by doing that helping you go higher... 😂😂😂
In this game we'll only upvote. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the info. resteemed it.
welcome...
Damn You, don't you trust me
Hehe nice work.
I think when the fake Mrs Steemit approached me I messaged firepower and adviser him if the scammer to get them blocked from the chat
I remember the exchange between you and him/her and you destroyed him with your cane....Meesterboom, simply a good gentleman...thanks for your comment and supports.
good job... another big time scammer here is @thediyworld and he has 4 accounts he uses to scam with. the other 3 accounts are @trtechtactical @blogger101 and @diy-electronics ... something needs to be done about him as well.
report him to @steemcleaners good point indeed

How low can you go! Good to see that you share the information. Upvoted! Great work!
They scam people daily here ...many are ashamed to post about it...hence why I indicated the many scams going on here

Great advice especially for the newbies !! I always also do my due dilligence , and double check the spelling plus i know not send money to people like this and most that have been awhile know about these scammers that pop up all the time on steemit ! i remember when someone did the same thing pretending to be sweetsssj ! Great job warning steemians @charles1 ! Keep up the great work !upped and resteemed👍😀👍😀👍
Very happy to see you here my lovely one...thanks for your support too...
Your very welcome ! we must support each other when we can and were so busy ! lol! 😂😃👍👍👍
Good job! Let's hold people accountable. Also tweeted.
Thanks my buddy...they will always come with new tricks and we will always expose them...
Great share, thanks for this. As Steemit grows, so do the scams I'm afraid. Resteeming for visibility
Good point, together we are stronger
I think anyone caught stealing some ones account or scamming someone should be prosecuted for theft and anyone asking for SBD or steem for an up vote and resteem should be ashamed. We should all be helping each other out and growing the community.
Good point, I agree
nice post to share and we will be more careful henceforth. keep it coming . upped
welcome
nice!
Good to know. Thanks for the clarification.
welcome
thanks for the info. will surely resteem.
welcome
Thanks for keeping these bastards honest. Great post and helpful for the rest of us, particularly our new members here who are still learning their way around the place and how everything functions.
welcome and thanks for your comment..lets keep exposing scammers , showing them that we are smarter
It seems the scams are increasing here, or so say those more knowledgeable (I am not in this realm), and as others eluded to, it will only increase with Steems rise. Thanks for keeping us alerted.
welcome, and thanks for all your supports and upvotes...great that we will keep exposing them ..however they always come back with new tricks
And the benefit is a better, stronger platform. They are invaluable assets to the securitization process.
Good point, I agree
excellent work dear friend @ charles1, congratulations for what you just did, it is true what you say, now that steemit enjoys success, many of these unscrupulous, will be on alert more than ever and as in your case give notice to that we are all informed.
again congratulations
I wish you a wonderful day
Thanks my dear friend for your support...I agree with you.
Well done, matey - resteemed .
Why don't they just get of their lazy arses and do some work ? losers. Pisses me right off...
Welcome buddy.They are bunch of greedy fools who dont want to earn via working hard rather stealing.
I resteemed it. thanks for the warning :-)
welcome and thanks.
I assume this will get worse, the more the value of Steem and SBD will rise.
I agree however we will keep on exposing them
Good for exposing them, lets do moreof exposing such scam act
I agree..thanks for your comment
Just hammers home the point about how much I need to learn about steem and about how decentralised "justice" can start to work by working together. Still learning...
men to that...my older posts will help you too...more success
Thank you
I still don't know why I need to use Steemit Chat, I assume for newbies to chat to experienced users.
I also wonder if disclosing information like this targets me to potential scammers

Scam happens not only in steem or steemit but in all aspects of life. We should be more vigilant about it.
Good point, I agree
More money - more scammers
Good point
Good point
You know looking at the screenshots, reminds me a guy who has terrible English, it's not his native tongue, but he always uses 'petrify' 'petrified' when he meat something else
Just like the fake kingscrrown
hahahah you are right
I should have said a guy on Discord chat
I see that your guy is on Steemi.chat
Must be two different guys, but you never know 😊
the scammer is everywhere ...global indeed hahaha and we will keep exposing him globally
Thanks for sharing this information. It is very important to secure online security and privacy. We really have to be careful about cryptocurrencies as people are finiding new ways of stelling digital money.
Yes, I agree

Good work there! :) Thank you for your help with this.
welcome my buddy @firepower ...thanks for your support
Thats a good f&ck... I had the same with a fake @tipu (the real one is a fine dude) on steemitchat who I sent 7 steem to on a bittrex account. Like two months back or so this is. My steem was gone and i felt very discouraged in all of this.
It sucks..and scams will grow as steem grows i guess.
Ps i also have some elyte.. excited for whats gonna happen in the future with it!!
I agree with you...scammers are coming up with new ways to scam hardworking people their hard earned money. Elyte to the moon!!!! Dev paid for Yobit exchange yesterday...hope to list there soon.
Yeah curious on what exchange they will end up! Lets see!
Elyte is currentky at Idex and working on Yobit and others
I only have a few of them. Im hodling until they are collectorsitems ;)
Good point, feel free to ask questions via their telegram groups and share their current bounty via steemit...success.
Thank you for exposing them. Hackers are always trying to do things the easy way out. Scamming someone online is how they like to do it best. We gotta start fighting back. Great Job.
welcome ...we all will unite against scammers and expose them..
Just wondering why you chose Africa as a tag on a post about a scammer.
Most have been victims to this scams...a great post for them to learn isnt it?
Are you saying that most of the victims of these scams are from Africa and that tag will help better them see this? Of course it's a great post to learn, but I'm not sure I understand the logic behind your response.
?????
?????? I asked why Africa was a tag on a post about chat scammers and thought I'd get an answer that made sense, but now I'm getting the ??????'s... nevermind.
