I've never contributed to Steem, at least so far. 

But there are people impersonating me, who are reposting my work and earning Steem on my behalf. 

This post is to confirm that @aantonop on Steem *is* the "real" aantonop. 

Here's proof tied to some of my other accounts:

Github, where I write my books:
https://gist.github.com/aantonop/d8a231054ebeeb0241e1339081bbfe83

Twitter:
https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/959878955716063232

Please do not give your money to scammers.

Thanks

-- Andreas
