SCAM ALERT!

Since making this post the scammers have changed tactics. They stopped doing karaoke posts and started stealing actual entries from people entering this week.

People are downloading YouTube videos from other people who have performed for Open Mic and claim it as their own on a new Steemit account with a new YouTube channel.

Like this guy.

https://steemit.com/openmic/@michaeljhon/steemit-open-mic-week-67-be-yourself-the-weli-cover-by-me-michaeljhon

Here is another example where this guy:
https://steemit.com/openmic/@arispaloh/steemit-open-mic-week-67-3770788fa9923

Stole this guys valid performance from this week:
https://steemit.com/openmic/@thesimpson/steemit-openmic-week-67-romany-eyes-original

and entered it as his own content.

They have been called out and their blog muted so it won't show up in my feed.
 Then they start another account and try again. Please be on the lookout from people stealing your Open Mic entries and posting your performance as their own and report it to us if you find them. Thank you.

Aw jeez, what f*cking shysters. I guess that means you've got to check everybody out that's new and with low RP of around 25 by either looking at it and calling a judgement or by seeing if the name of the user is repeated similarly on steemit.

 Would it be worth bringing in the same as they have for the introduceyourself post, the musician holds the paper up clearly spelling the user's username as he speaks out the "open mic week #68" bit? On the basis that the scammers can't duplicate an actual account name here.

Just a thought. 

Just had another thought though, that you've probably already had this thought run through your mind............

Yes, I have to check new accounts extra carefully.  I can't believe people go through so much trouble for a few bucks and feel bad for the people creating valid content getting their videos ripped off.

>the musician holds the paper up clearly spelling the user's username as he speaks out the "open mic week #68" bit

That's a good idea, but it's a drag already having to even say that, but if it continues we may have to do exactly that.

"but it's a drag already having to even say that, but if it continues we may have to do exactly that" It doesn't seem to be putting people off entering mate, lol, a piece of paper with a username on it isn't that much more to add to it really, do you think? It's another trip wire forthe scammers, and I think all genuine users will surely understand the need when they realise that their stuff might get stolen next week etc............. ;)

Wha?!?! That's crazy that people actually would do that! Respect and manners totally out the window for these kinds of scammers. I'm still trying to get my head around the audacity of it!
