Title: BAT Token Scam Targets BTT Users
Post by: Newchanka on November 13, 2019, 01:02:58 PM
I got this email this morning.

Good afternoon, dear participants, the official Brave team welcomes you!

We want to announce the completion of the Bounty program to update our Brave browser. To receive 1500 BAT tokens, follow some simple conditions.

The first and most important condition is to install (update) our Brave browser on your Windows or MacOS.

The second, no less important is the passage of free registration. During registration, you indicate your Twitter @Name, Bitcointalk Username and ETH address.

Only when these two conditions are met, you will be credited with 1500 BAT tokens.

Our moderators have developed a form of participants in which you will find a link to install or update our browser.

Obviously a phishing scam so we reviewed our reasons here: https://www.cryptoinfowatch.com/bat-token-scam-targets-crypto-community/

Edit: Email Address of scammer is brave.community@yahoo.com

You've missed to include important information here like:

1. Email address of the sender
2. Link from where you can download the Phishing browser so that we can report it (you can put it inside a code tag)

Anyway, there have been scam attempts on Telegram too before. So, be careful and only trust official announcements and updates from the team.
