Thank you ever so much @darina14 I checked that link and I really don’t feel comfortable entering my Steemit account details on an external website. What is more the links on that website don’t appear to go anywhere.
You're correct - never click a link that then requires you to enter your details - that's how so many accounts get hacked, lose all of their Steem and end up sharing even more phishing links 😟
Thanks for getting back to me on the above @the-gorilla 🤝 I’m really glad that I did the right thing. It’s sad that people try to hack accounts as all of us here who contribute to the platform work hard to earn Steem 💻 But I guess it’s unavoidable like the scam emails, text messages and phone calls we sometimes get.
Yes exactly, they happen a lot sadly. The message is often spread from an account that had clicked on one of these links and there are so many stories of people who have had their steem stolen. The worse thing is that we know which accounts are doing it but for whatever reason, they still exist 😡
Oh Dear @the-gorilla I remember reading @bambuka's post telling us about never to enter our log in details on external websites regardless of how tempting it may sound to get some more Steem because you've been selected for whatever reason. The more you read the more you know 🤓
