Over the past few days, there have been a number of scammers joining this forum along with others to try phish people. I've deleted them quickly but unfortunately there's not a whole lot else I can do - so please be more careful for a little while.

Hopefully other forums have been as fast as here to delete them before people lose their lumens, especially now that the price is starting to climb.

Some of these users have pretended to be related to the stellar foundation, while others just pretend to be "normal users". Here's one example of what was posted on here so you're aware what to look out for (with the phishing link removed obviously):
