The moment I write this article the Scorum Explorer has a record of about 7,221 transfer entries. When I was a little bit more occupied with the technology of Scorum in the past days, I noticed some things and hope that I get some answers here and if necessary to improve the Scorum platform with my knowledge.

You can find the Scorum Explorer here: https://explorer.scorum.com/en-us/transactions

First thing I noticed was something in the telegram chat from Scorum.

In the telegram chat a pinned message caught my eye. And every time I hear the word Scam or Abuse, I get angry.

There is a user (scammer) on the platform called "scorum.platform" and therefore makes an official first impression on the users of the platform. The account does not write own contributions but acts only in the comments. In the comments the account writes a link to a wallet which is scam. If you follow the link and enter your keys there it has already happened and the scammer has access to your liquid assets. What follows is a transfer or rather a theft of your credit balance.

In the Telegram Chat I have often noticed that the victim Scorum users report and ask where their credit is and why it was sent.

In my opinion, how can a solution look like here?

In my opinion, there has to be a solution that allows you to understand when and where a certain user has left a comment in order to be able to react quickly and effectively. Be it by an external page or by an implementation in the website scorum.com that also comments are displayed is the solution here.

A reaction to such a scam comment can be on the one hand a flag so that the scam comment is hidden at least in the frontend or is marked accordingly as SCAM and so the statement in the comment is to be enjoyed only with caution.

Maybe Add Scam Flag

Otherwise you can directly point out with a sub-comment that the user's contribution is SCAM and the links should not be clicked there.

I hope that there will soon be a solution to enhance the user experience of this ingenious platform.

The second thing I noticed was an account with massive SCR transfers.

While looking through the still quite clear Block / Transfer Explorer I noticed a certain user who earns considerable sums on Scorum and in my opinion this stinks of fraud and fake.

With almost 7221 previous transactions on the Scorum platform, the account "alisanizina" with over 1561 transactions is naturally striking. This is always 1/5 or 21% of all transactions made so far. Here the Scorum platform and the welcome bonus are used systematically and fully automated. As it looks, the account has created a lot of fake accounts and started immediately with the power-down. And so every week a small part of the balance becomes a liquid and tradable currency. So far 2x these transactions were carried out. So, massively fake accounts created, Power Down started - by automation all credit transferred to the account alisanizina and paid out a minute later via open ledger. In my eyes this is totally outrageous and has to be prevented in some way.

My opinion on how the problem can be fixed or limited

Since you can' t exclude any users or block an account in the blockchain, there is only the possibility of educational work. In order to act here it would be however necessary that hair-exactly the accounts with these abnormalities are observed and land accordingly on Private Abuse lists. If one of these fake accounts creates a contribution to earn further credit - it should be the task of an abuse team to prevent this and nip these actions in the bud.

I hope that my contribution could inspire some discussion and perhaps even point out some improvements to the platform. I am gladly ready further work and achievement to invest around to help. I believe in the platform and want it to be even better than it already is.

Many thanks and many greetings
