Review Case 1: @iconzbranding lost his @curie-support and starts posting memes

## What Happened Next:

My [1st case](https://steemit.com/steemit/@sherlockholmes/case-1-iconzbranding-claiming-stolen-artwork-as-his-own) has immediately been able to achieve something!

A fellow righteous steemian, @kaykunoichi, had contacted the real Arinze Stanley Egbe and we have confirmation from the source, that @iconzbranding was in fact impersonating him! [READ HERE](https://steemit.com/scam/@kaykunoichi/scam-alert-fake-user-fooling-people)

I have also been able to alert the @curie team, who have removed their $100+ votes on [this post](https://steemit.com/art/@iconzbranding/step-by-step-of-my-pencils-work). The scammer has still been able to gather some dollars in upvotes, but the whale-share of it is gone again!

@iconzbranding seems to reconsider his strategy. The account has stopped posting stolen artwork and is instead republishing cheap copy-paste material now.

## A Word of Warning:
@iconzart is not the only account running this scam!

Remember that What's App number he has been posting, offering portraits for commission? That's the real goal here, getting you to transfer money to a "talented Nigerian artist".

I have a few more suspects, possibly running the same portrait commission scam.

I will report back with conclusive evidence as usual.
