Ripple Reward Tool "cannot pay yourself" problem

[Kekoa]

I used the Ripple Reward Tool using the official instructions below.  After Signing and setting up the Payment transaction to pay myself the reward minus the fee, when I clicked "Send XRP" it came back with an error saying you cannot pay yourself.  Now my balance is down to the minimum 20 XRP.  How do I resolve?

It’s a scam. Your XRP are gone.

6 Hours and no reply! That’s 6hrs of hinderance-free advertising for this scam on XRPChat!

Wow, they even use Ripple's servers for their scam. Maybe their operations team can do something? @nikb @mDuo13 please forward this internally that you guys need analytics on the JSON-RPC traffic coming into the servers you host so you can prevent this stuff from happening at least with your help.

SCAM,

@Kekoa couldn't you see that it's ripplé not ripple.. 

How did you find that ripplé scam site?

Oh dear, looking at that target adres, see how many people are falling for it. Even big wallets emptied and sold.

I've raised the issue internally, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to effectively separate these scam connections/transactions from ordinary, benign traffic. Depends on some things like if they're connecting from the same IPs consistently, and if there are any clues we could use to disconnect them.

We shall see. But in the meantime: There is no "Ripple Reward Tool". It's a scam!

@Kekoa Please adjust the title; add SCAM before it, so its clear for anyone this is not legit...

Sorry for your loss, but really; the only time I believe a XRP airdrop, reward or whatever is when David Schwarz is telling me in person its true.. And there would be no need to give my secret key...
