I almost lost my account yesterday due to Phishing, and it was a really close call!
A comment from @rajatj205  saying someone had copied my work without my permission so I clicked on the link to see what the fuss was all about!

<a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@arcange/phishing-site-reported-steemiz">Link</a>

The website It took me to was so similar to steemit it looked perfectly alike! 

The only fishy thing was that it asked for my password again. If you have noticed Steemit doesn't do that when you open a new tab. I was quite surprised and was lazy to re-enter my password. So I just viewed it and closed the tab.


Later I received a comment from @arcange stating

![phishing.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma1Bht2SunSZoYpig1N9EPjMyryeFpRmZ5q2s1Rmqq7c5/phishing.JPG)


Then I revisited the link and I was surprised to see this

Man that was close!! If I had entered my password there I would have gift wrapped it and directly handed it over to the scammer and there is nothing I could have done later on.

<h1> Everytime you enter a password make sure you see this</h1>

Note : The domain name might be anything other than steemit so keep that in mind

<center><h3>The money we made here, didn't just appear overnight. We worked hard for it right? And there is this asshole somewhere out there trying to steal all of it just by fooling us. Let me tell you this there was no such thing a few months back it was all clean, since there is more money/users involved now the scammers eyes are upon the vulnerable .</h3>

<center><h1>So this post is a heads up for you guys so that you don't fall into the same trap and be a VICTIM of phishing.</h1>

<center>
If you see such activities make sure you report them to either @steemcleaners on steemit.chat or @arcange they shall take care of it!

Stay safe, stay secured!! Have a good day fellas! </center>

Thanks for the heads up, it is way to easy to let down our guard.   I always bookmark and look for https://steemit.com.   Somewhere i saw where they just changed 1 character, look close be safe.  I think also it's best to keep most of Steep Powered up, it would take them three month to get your funds out  :)
