RE: Phishing site reported - SteemPix

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Do you even read or do you know how to read @arcange?

Yes, I can read and read you comment.
Insults are useless and for your information, contrary to my warning-bot, I am a human that need to sleep and that sometimes is away from keyboard.

My post is about is about scammers that, unfortunately for the steempix.com domain name owner, used an alternative extension of the same domain name.

Which part of my message above is confirmed scam?

As scammer often register all free or cheap extension of the same domain, my bot may trigger on similar words. This is called false-positive. This is what happened with your comment.

Sort:  

OK, I sort of understand, but then your bot would flag legitimate paypal links just because there is a lot of phishing going on with paypal? It is sort of a GIGO program then that needs tweaking to filter out legitimate sites. If this is the case, then your bot is blackballing a lot of innocents! I mean, who can afford to buy and park hundreds of domains just to keep spammers and scammers from using your name?

My bot is not flagging but issuing warnings only. Any flag is done manually.
It is not GIGO program, monitoring and tweaking is done.
Out of thousands warnings sent, I had only a few false-positives (can be counted on the fingers of one hand).
