Another probably scam on Facebook.

avatar

I was on my phone today and got a lovely personal message from the co-founder of STEEM @ned, which i presume is from being a fan on the Facebook group for STEEM and participation on some of their posts.

Obviously as a big STEEM fan and user, I was very flattered to be reached out to in this way and had to take a closer look. It appears that I have been chosen for a unique investment opportunity involving both Ned Scott and John Mcafee. How could I turn down an chance like this to make untold amounts of money.





Now as a user with some respect for my computer and my crypto holding I didn't actually click into any links send to me by @ned even though I'm sure it's totally legitimate........

However some other fans of the page might click into them so just a heads up for anybody still on Facebook and for @ned or other members of the steem.inc team that might want to give @ned a heads up that his name is being used in this way. @elipowell @andrarchy @roadscape.

Checked the actual profile of the sender and it's set up as Ned Scott with steemit logo's and crypto in the profile but only 88 friends and a few posts. I reported it but they might want to do it themselves.

My dream is to one day also be a big name in crypto that people will use my name and likeness to scam other people I think that’s when you know you’ve made it in the blockchain space

I'll set it up straight away. I'm thinking of a sex doll and bitcoin scam of some sort. You'll know when you see it.

No worries. I'm sure he wouldn't want his name being used around Facebook like this. Especially if it's targeting fans of the STEEM facebook page. I know I wouldn't.
