Haha! People should really be informed that once the key is asked, that's already a huge red flag. Official sources don't even have to ask for the email since they have access to the database that contains it. Great of you to e-mail them, dude. Just to let other people know how professional looking their reply could be.
The note about the owner key is what would get some people, I think. They feign regard for safety to put people at ease. Really though, they could still log on with the active key and don some damage there.
Scammers really have gone downhill when they don't provide 24/7 support anymore. That there is already a telling sign it's a scam haha
You have it exactly right there. There is never a need for them to ask information for you to prove something.
Especially the keys! Any of them!
By adding they show themselves to be a shower of scamming fannies.
And yes, taking almost two hours to answer my reply. Tsk tsk!
I mean, how could people think it's official when the official channels don't even post statements about what's going on with Steemit, right? You would figure they're even less responsive when it comes to whatever the memo is offering hahaha! That already there is a telling sign that the person isn't affiliated with Steemit Inc
