I just want to add that I also just got done by this scam and I find it annoying from all those who say it's the users fault.  I can't understand why there is server side broadcast messaging built into the wallet, it was a massive oversite on Electrum's behalf.

Those who say it's the users fault for not updating their wallet. Well, we thought we we're updating our wallet from a message that came from within the software which wouldn't let us transact without updating.

Based on the wallet I got done by bc1qjg4ax2h7gff0wszjq0jzmv2gwzgtfluzrelf59 there are a lot of us hodling and not on the crypto news every day.  It took me years to mine my coin, now BenCoins no more
