Any account mentioning phishing domains intact get flagged by @guard with a comment and mack-bot currently follows to ensure the comment/post is hidden. When talking about these domains use soemthing like this: steemiit(dot)ga
There are two reasons for this:
Some browsers or extensions make domains clickable. In the past the infection as been spread by those clicking on comments/posts meant to warn the community.
These scammers have been evolving. They may start using urls that include abc.badlink.com to attempt to avoid detection.
The important thing is to stop the spread of the infection and keep accounts from being stolen.

I was flagged for warning against phishing domain. I was dumb enough to plainly write this domain in the comment... Could you unflag me? :D
Sorry for writing here, I think that steemit does not have private messages functionality.
Flag removed. :)
Thanks!
