Good afternoon, Steemians!

This is a PSA (public service announcement) to everyone on Steemit. I got a .001 steem payment and message from @jones420

I didn't do my due diligence and after sending 2 SBD, I realized this guy has a reputation level of 0....

Here's what the message said:

Now, I've only made about 35 cents for the 2 SBD I sent him, so his scheme worked for him. I just wanted to put this out there for all of you who might've gotten the same message. I figured I would give it a shot, but trust me, it's not worth it. On his profile page, he says he will resteem and that 200+ will upvote your post... Well, I found out that these are basically "dead accounts" with much less than a penny per voter.

I take full responsibility for being duped, but again I want to warn people so they don't do what I did. I only lost about $1.50, but it just pisses me off that this guy is probably going to dupe a lot of others to make a quick buck. He has been downvoted into oblivion, but many people probably won't check his rep score like I should've done.

Anyway, hope you guys find this informative and Steem on!
