Last night seemed like just another night. Drinking a few beers and browsing Steemit. As I browsed I heard the familiar ping of the chats.
Aye aye, I thought. Is this some fodder for Uncle Boom?
I opened the chats up and there, much to my delight was a message from Mrs Steemit!!
Aw wasn't this nice. What man doesn't like a lovely lady dropping by to say hello? Although I did think, isn't that odd for her to say I have been around a long time. I mean, hasn't she?
Wait a minute... Could this be a scammer? I headed off to Steemit to check. Oh look, on Steemit it's mrs.steemit... note the full stop. This lady had no full stop.
Further investigation required. I would surely know she was a scammer is she asked me for money?
Oh, there we go! Straight in with the sob story and request for money! Note how she didn't want the money sent to her steemit account. If I had any doubts this was a scammer they were gone now.
Time to have some fun.
She wasn't one for the small talk. Just kept banging on about the sick child. I laid out my proposition.
She wasn't very responsive. I worried I was losing her. I decided to show willing and pretend to send the money.
That got her back. At the thought of the money coming, she was back chatting. I expressed my unease about sending to Bittrex though. She reassured me...
Oh, send it to the brother could I! Well that's alright then! I pretended that I would. Then I thought to ask for something in return.
It looked like norks is a universal term then because astonishingly and terrifyingly it worked. Well this was a surprise. I mean, to be quite frank, I had no interest in seeing her norks. I was only pulling her leg! What to do?
I decided now was the time to call him/her out for using Mrs Steemits name.
She never answered any questions about why she was using Mrs Steemits name. Just kept asking for the damned money. It was most uncouth.
I reassured her that I would send a photo of my wallet as evidence.
I mean, she really does. Or whoever that photo was of.
Anyway, I have alerted the admins of the chat and thought I would share my Saturday night entertainment with you.
Keep those dolphins noses safe! And stay alert for chat scammers!
Lucky you didn't see her dolphin nose...
It might have been sticking its tongue out at you 😳
It's always a worry!!! ;0)
A MOUSTACHE! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I know, can you see it ok? It's a pure manno moustache-o!
Yeah, I'm just not sure which one:
Lol, here might be an original!
I'm voting for the 1890's barber...or the 1/4 Mandrake
I like the sound of 1890s barber. In fact they both sound great!
Good move mr. Boom. The chat is really very funny. Atleast we caught her in the very beginning. Good job friend.
Cheers mate, gotta nip them in the bud!
that's scary .. this is not the first time
someone experienced this before
I have to laugh at your persistence to see the norks haha
I bet that one was flat :P
hahahahah
oh .. I made it tonight hehe
but now time to hit the bed dead tired ..
Aloha!!
It isnt the first time. They are an insidious lot. At first even though I was certain it was a scammer I was terrified it might actually be Mrs Steemit and I was being offensive which would backfire. Thank fully s soon as they asked for money to be sent to bittrex I knew I was safe!
Nice to see ya chica! Gnight!
well done boom!
Cheers m'dear! I led him/her a merry dance,!
You were right in everything except one... you should not have censored boobs. These things are just not meant for censorship. I'm sad :'(
You might have a point but they were very poor. Honestly, I was disappointed
Oh, ok maybe you have done wisely.
Uncovering the truth as always, and in more ways than one.
The gumshoe, that's what's they call me!
I died at the nork pic!!!
I really did not expect it!!! Lolz!
My loud chortling livened up our home office this afternoon. Now I suppose I'd better get back to work...
Work, the curse of the drinking classes! Or just a curse lol i go back tomorrow. I have the heebs
Working for yourself is better in many ways- bar two drawbacks. If you don't work, you don't earn any money, but the bills keep rolling in. And you never go home from work. But you can slip onto Steemit without the boss complaining.
Yeah, If I could steemit at work that would be a fine thing. Then again I wouldnt get anything done lol!
That is indeed a great way you handled the situation but i guess many new users will fall for this trap and end up loosing some SBD.
I think they would, especially at the thought of doing someone with power and influence on ths site a favour
Yeah ,hope that never comes to bad to handle !
Meester Holmes is on the case once again! Always good to have a private dick on the payroll. Even better if the private dick is yourself. Man, dicks always have a lot of uses, don't they?
I'm not sure why that scammer would target influential people in the platform. Maybe it's greed, maybe it's stupidity. I'm leaning on stupidity. You could smell the scam a mile away. He would've done better if he tried to scam newer people who don't know any better. I'm not sure how he envisioned one-upping a gentleman such as yourself, dude. I mean, the nerve of that guy haha!
Why would an influential member who has tons of STEEM to spare ask another influential member for 15 SBD? In the list of things not to do, it seems he did it all. Must be the stubble that caused his downfall.
I am with you 100% on this. It is sheer stupidity. I think they must think in daft ways, oh he can afford it I will ask him . I mean if you have been around a while then you will know the tricks of the trade.
I was most disappointed in the nudie selfie lol!
We make such good spam hunters that I truly believe that we would make formidable spammers if we ever turn to the dark side. I mean, I know they have cookies, but I just feel that there are too many balls in there to be even slightly tolerable. Sweaty, hairy balls.
Haha! If he couldn't make it convincing the least he could do was to make it funny!
By jove! You have it!
Let's become scammers. This cannot possibly fail :0D
If we ever do fail, we're going to take the whole decentralized internet with us! Scorched Earth style!!
Lol, I absolutely agree! All well end in fire!
Is that why they call those dreadful things firewalls?? To keep the fire away!?
Hahahah a good one indeed. We have many scammers here just like in other social media....lets use our wild flag cane on him?
Haha, the wild flag canes would get worn out!
PMSL!!! 😂 well this scammer chose the wrong account! Thanks for nipping that one in the 'norks' 😂. Steemit is no place for losers like this. As for the moustache...... 😂 😂 😂
The mirage was epic. I did not expect that at all!!! :0D
You have probably scared her off, haha these people make me sick
Same here, it's hard not to believe people sometimes!
Its hard to believe how far they will go
I don't think they would stop at anything
Shame you didn't get a picture, the least she could have done haha
I did, I got that Nudie one!! I censored it but it was full on nekkid!
Ohhh lol Lovely
Thanks for the warning.There will always be harmful people in all social networks and this is very striking for people without scruples and a few like you who care about us. Have a good day @meesterboom.
A good day to you too! Yes, it always pays to be on guard
😂🤣😂 Thank you for the warning, and the superb entertainment.
Hehe, you are most welcome :0)
Good Lord! This is crazy stuff. I like the way you caught the fraud mustachioed!
It was almost the first thing I noticed!! Lol!
Well played :)
I was proud of myself :0)
You had a lot of fun last night, enjoyed reading it. He had chose the wrong account :)
This time perhaps, hopefully no-one falls for it. It's despicable to use random pics of children for scamming
True that!
:0)
@meesterboom hi there, you did quite a good job uncovering the truth, i mean the boobies part was quite funny, i give you credit for being steadfast
Steadfast till the end! This one wasn't the best at their "job" normally they sure out you are having them on much earlier!
Lol really you may be right, who will send her boobies for 15sbd
It's a tough market!
Thanks for the warning!
You're welcome!
Lolol deym she got moustache! :)
I do message people, my friends on steemit the people I really know and knows me. I'm not a pretty girl but I don't message random guys that I don't know. Lol. That "dude" have balls haha. Mrs.steemit would ever do that? Naaah I don't think so. Scammers and plagiarism now a days is very common. Beware people. 🤗
Exactly! I message people all the time too but rarely strangers. Then I never ask for money lol!! She is a cheeky one! :0D
2018 will be the year of the scams. Unfortunately blockchain will open up a whole new era of scamming opportunity.
And we are in on the ground floor! Think of the money we will make off the rubes!!Hmm you are right, we must guard against this evil!lol @meesterboom, was that the beer doing all that writing?!
The writing was fairly helped by it!!
lol I bet!
Wonder why people who can work out scams like this do not use their brains in better ways. LOL
Some of them like this one don't even have brains!
@meesterboom I've had an encounter with them too. They usually go for popular username of known steemians. And true, they DO NOT have a brain.
It's mad, I would think they would do for newer users!
It's a trap that easily catches the newbies.
I can totally see why
Saw my wife laughing so just knew where she was reading, cannot believe you get scammers like this.
Amateurs! That's what they are! I expect a higher caliber of scammer!
thank you very much for the valuable information dear friend @meesterboom
It is incredible how they are waiting to be able to profit from one's money, to the one that seizes him half asleep, they cheat him. well done dear friend your action congratulations
I wish you a beautiful Sunday
Cheers @jlufer. We always have to be in the lookout for those who wish a hand in our pockets!
We don't need scammers here on Steemit! Glad that you managed to put a stop to it!
And scalp a souvenir! I hate them too. A pox on them
Entertaining and educational - I didn't know those terms you used! Norks!? :)
Your don't know it!? Goodness me, isn't it a fabulous term? :0)
If the left jeffrey didn't get things going, nothing will. Glad you are on point for us, and if you're going to sniff out solicitous snaffu's, might as well do it with more than a bit of humor. Classic stuff, really good show, Sherlock.
I've the left Jeffery was involved it was a cinch as they say :0)
Norks! That is not universal, only after the use of boobies would I know what a nork was hahaha!
We shall call her Moustachio! Beware Mrs Moustachio the nork flashing scammer!
Oh, you should get a giggle out of my post today, hee hee.
Moustachio it is!! The great villain.;0)
I look forward to reading it!
I always forget you're using a phone, probably hard to see my mom's comedic antics on that little screen. I really should record her more often, I'm so used to her boisterous gestures and exaggerated faces, and well,exuberance, but seeing it on video made me realize she;s hilarious ;)
Lol, it's true. Probably not as good as on a PC. Right enough I could always cast them to the TV. But that would be a battle in itself for control between the various household factions!
Him taking an actual picture, i did not see that happening looool !
Well what do you know, chat can be fun too hahahah
I didn't either. I was like, bloody hell, that escalated quickly!! Lol
Excellent publication, I invite you to visit my blog, greetings
Greetings to you
Fabulous
Cheers!
