SCAM ALERT IN STEEMIT CHAT – Beware of @STEEM. And @@val.a
<html>
<p><em><strong>Please RESTEEM to stop this scammer&nbsp;and warn others</strong></em></p>
<p>There is an account on https://steemit.chat going under the name @steem. <em>Note the "." at the end of the name.</em></p>
<p>This person is pretending to be @steem, which just happens to be a whale. &nbsp;And this person is requesting 20steem for a $200 vote.</p>
<p>Today he approached me. Of all people, me. &nbsp;Sure I analyse the data, is he mad?</p>
<p>Here is the conversation</p>

<p><br></p>
<p>This conversation goes on and he send me a memo asking for 20steem</p>

<p>Needless to say I did not send any steem, but I did look up the memo details in the steemit database to see if anyone else sent him steem.</p>
<p>&nbsp;https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ2nQdp9Q5V4GwpwfLuh3pYuTJysZKYhfMstUBtuhcYPk/4.png</p>
<p>What I found were 4 other steemit accounts that had made a transfer to this memo. &nbsp;I looked at each of these accounts in detail and it lead me to a second memo number d48d7d3d33d04931a51 and another steemit account that made a transfer.</p>
<p>So I have contacted each of these on steemit chat to confirm this scam. &nbsp;Here are some further screen shots of conversations with the scammer. The first one is from @drdave who lost 10 steem and 5sbd on this scam</p>

<p>this second one scammed would rather not be named, however I have been supplied with a screen shot of the chat.</p>

<p>You will note that the second is going by the name @val.a &nbsp;This scam has already been identified and the real @val.a has written a post about it which you can read here</p>
<p>https://steemit.com/scam/@val-a/please-be-aware-of-scammers-on-steemit-chat</p>
<p>Here is a third one – and guess what, this conversation is happening now while I am writing this post. &nbsp;I am talking with @themarkymark on discord right now. @themarkymark was wise enough to spot the scam and not send any money</p>
<p>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/319885228464406528/360888690756550659/unknown.png?width=819&amp;height=484</p>
<p>Look how he catches him out</p>

<p>However the scammer is the same person, because the memos used overlap.</p>
<p><em><strong>DO NOT SEND STEEM TO ANYONY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE</strong></em></p>
<p>If you have been effected by this scam, please post below or contact me on steemit chat or discord. &nbsp;I would like to see if there are further memo numbers involved and get this stopped. &nbsp;Between the 5 accounts that fell for the scam, this scammer has made &nbsp;20 Steem and 32 SBD</p>
