This is the Last Post on the Official @Steemit Twitter Account.
Yup, you read that correctly February 27. What the fuck happened?! This team is really disappointing me. Lack of communication is not a good thing. So now we have scammers out there and all we hear are crickets from the team. They should be all over this like flies on shit.

UPDATE 2:43 CST.
The admin for the FB page booted me.
The SMT project has not been rolled out or updated well at all. Now if scammers are using the lack of info they really need to do better on the communication.
We have been waiting for SMT however if it's not rolled out soon we will go with another blockchain.
I commented on that post too calling it a scam, it did not seem like he was a scammer but he is misleading 100% its apparently the first smart media token to launch on the network but still seems fishy becouse this seems like it would be announce by the steemit team
Did the Admin happen to be named Muhammad Faisal Raza?
Just kidding... but thanks for the alert; I'm sure there are plenty of innocent ("greedy?") newcomers who'd be taking in by something like that. More evidence, I suppose, that the crypto space-- including our own-- is very much "The Wild Wild West."
Thank you for spreading the word. Sucks that people are so scammy. Investors beware - all that glitters is not gold. Keep up the good work!
Probably referring to the @appics ICO that starts on the 28th?
Why would he be collecting emails? Sounds super suspicious. I am sure @Appics has their own procedure for raising the capital.
@appics has a large referral and bounty program. Maybe he wants to give out his personal affiliate link to get credited?
Recipe for scamming. I do ICO's for a living. They should have an automated program for anything related to affiliates. If not then everyone and their brother would be doing this across the web circa 1998.
Hopefully no one is foolish enough to get scammed by a sketchy FB post.
ico.appics.com is the ico developed by smt team you are a sick guy
Yeah, that looks very suspicious. I had a look at his profile and he's a member of a lot of Steemit groups, and appears to be the main admin on that particular page.
Good on you for highlighting this. I notice he's removed your comments from the post too, and it's just people sending their email addresses. Looks like a scammer to me.
They really need to get out, keeping people informed of the progress made to avoid such scam incident. Who knows if those social media are fighting back with such scam messages to discourage people
Glad I only rely on steemit on updates. Although I hear the news later at least when it does come out many of the people I follow write about it to validate that news is real.
Curious was it listed Feb. 27 2019? Would be too long if for real :/
Maybe "the team" actually are the shit rather than the flies.
PS - if spam comments were an art form, your posts would be art museums!
I get so much spam comments. It is ridiculous.
