RE: WARNING: DON'T INSTALL THIS STEEMIT APP FOR ANDROID!

in #phishing7 years ago

I also received some comments on my posts which had very low reputation which were trying to redirect me to some unknown links. This is not a new trick. Many scammers plays this trick.
I think the best thing is to check any link before opening it. For this one just need to hover the mouse cursor over the link and see the web address in the address bar at the bottom left corner of the browser. It will reveal the web address. If the link doesn't pertain to proper steemit or any steem api, then never click it. Also, if the website or link is not starting with https: then it may not be safe to open that link.
I think such users who send such malicious links to anyone, should be flagged so that their post may not remain visible.
You did a nice job by alerting the users against those maliciously intended comments etc.
