Title: [BAT] Basic Attention Token Referral Program SCAM
Post by: antoninka on August 12, 2019, 02:36:36 PM
Hello all.
My account in Referral Program was suspended. I lost my savings with Brave.

I make a website about Brave and spent my savings on advertising.
Google adwords advertising.

Over $ 3,300.

I sent emails and private messages in support.
No answer.

Brave is a good concept but it's been executed poorly so far. They are were meant to promote anonymity but they enforced KYC for users to get benefits for watching ads/using their browser. That's the ultimate fail. They should have devised some other ways to counter fraud or malpractices. The browser itself is a crap and as they'd push away users for suspicion, they'll soon lose any interest. And Brave browser would take down BAT with their partnership.

I think you should wait for it to resolve. Or you can denounce it if it doesn't pay you back. I hope you can reclaim your money.

Good luck to you!!

This is disheartening, sorry for the bad encounter, I have not been earning rewards on the brave browser because all my ads are blocked. Another upgrade is poping up for me to download and reinstalled. I am skeptical about it.

I love the Google chrome most, it is the best. But I do use the Brave browser too. Because I believe supporting the Brave browser means supporting the crypto industry. Though I don't know this referral program was from the official Brave browser or just a misleading airdrop! I am looking for it, if it from the Official brave team then no doubt Brave browser will lose a big number of their regular user, including me!

I'm dealing with the same problem, just like you do. Of course, I understand that they have to protect the Rewards Program from scammers, but there are two things that are clearly unfair:
1. They block accounts on a day when the payments are being sent
- Does the system really check for frauds and cheating or they just block accounts because you have earned too much? If there's something suspicious about the leads we got (installs) then why wouldn't block the account when the suspicious activity is discovered?

2.
They say that the best way to get your account back is to write to a specific email address. The problem is people say there's no response. Personally, I'm waiting for a response for 5 days since my account was blocked. It's not that long but I'm starting being impatient.

I hope they will improve the overall quality of their Rewards Program because pretty soon it may turn out they will painfully shoot themselves in the foot.

I think BAT refferal program is not SCAM. Cause I already get the rewards from that program.
