I am actually the user baker-777. What I'm disappointed in is that there was no alert of a possible scam within the platform itself. I always thought bitshares is totally secure. Someone mentioned that a post had been made somewhere but the truth is all I ever did was log into the wallet and did not explore the site for updates, no different to how I use a bank account. Surely the team could have some alert box come up for the users that could easily get tricked like I did. I was asked about a proposal and thought, oh someone is doing something for bitshares and I'll vote, It never occured to me a scam could operate within the platform itself and I was caught out. No more bitshares for me now.

I'm sorry to hear that... Well, it really shows that smart contracts both can be used for good and bad. Bitshares could've been more aggressive on warning about it to the average users.

It's clear bitshares is not ready for the average investor. I'm no guru but I'm certainly not a total newbie either. Have done plenty of mining, nemourous wallets, trezor, and this scam caught me out totally unaware. Tbh I dont get the feeling the bitshares team really care about this situation and Bitshares has always been sold as super tight security. Clearly this is not the case....for the 'average user'

Bitshares totally isn't ready. I created a bitshares account but i'm overwhelmed by the lack of any decent UI and ended up not using it at all. I have used various cryptos and even newer cryptos have much better UIs to interact with the chain. That's already dealbreaker and now this scam is a thing.

Actually there were tweets,"scam warning" from open ledger and crypto bridge as far as i know,they were fast.People should follow exchanges that they have money one.
