PSA: FAKE STEEMIT CEO 'certianassets' ON TWITTER BE CAREFUL, TRYING TO SCAM
Just got a DM conversation on twitter, obviously with a fake profile, but I wanted to find out what they're up to
FAKE ACCOUNT: @certianassets
DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY, MAKE SURE TO REPORT THIS PROFILE TO TWITTER

someone just lost 2 btc
oh no
coins moved to https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1JVYXnST7TYikL8kQwS7cdt8SMatuJfkqN
I think it worked out perfectly... The account seems blocked by Twitter at least I can't view it anymore...
Great work!
mh nope, that account is still existent :)
Yep, I just got contacted. I was fooled until the ~3btc reward was offered. I just posted on this too, only just seen your post @ash. If someone comes forward with reasonable proof that they lost BTC, I will donate my SBD to them
That's really hard to proof. What if the scammer sends the coins to himself and tries to get some pity votes
Hmmm, Yep, That is a scenario I hadn't thought of...
hi,
I wrote a cute little story about a baby dolphin and all the posts he read on steemit last week and your post is in it!
have a look, I hope you like it
thanks
Nice work ash, you're a valued member of this community.
Wow, some people have the nerve!
That's the same survey site stellabelle used. ;P
yeah, but the scheme is nothing new. they try this or similiar tactics all the time
Thank you @ash for letting us know.
thanks for the post on scam. scam alerts will always be welcome .
thats crazy. Wtf
I didn't see this post before I posted mine. I was on Twitter, when I noticed that "Ned Scott" just started following me. I found out through Satoshi Nakamoto's profile about the scam. I just added a link to this article from my post on the front page so people can find yours first. And I just explained on mine that I hadn't seen yours first.
I was scammed yesterday by this https://steemit.com/scam/@ian.wash/don-t-trust-anybody-on-the-internet-even-if-you-think-is-ned
