[Warning] Fake Brave Bounty Program Giving 1,500 BAT Tokens to each participant!

Thanks for the warning. What activities did the form want you to do? I am trying to figure out what they got from this? Unless they tried to get you to install some fake browser?
I do know that they could be creating email lists. Email lists can be worth a lot of money and people even sell them if they feel like they do not need them and wat to squeeze a quick buck out of it.
Other than that I cannot see the benefit.

I also receive emails like that even though I've never joined other BAT campaigns, but I often receive phishing emails.
Is there another way to stop this email, it is very annoying for me and this is afraid of being used by someone else.

I also received such a letter. I use this e-mail specifically for bounty. It's all filled with spam. There used to be an unwritten rule in spreadsheets not to publick e-mail address of the participants. But now this information appears very often and spammers are actively using it.

Those ICO/IEO projects always claim that they would make sure the emails of their participants is kept private, but down the road now, we're too aware that plenty of them don't, they either use it to send scam attempt emails or they sell it to those who would, do we even talk of what they do with the KYC documents submitted to them.

If majority of them are scam, which they are, then why wouldn't they sell the emails or send such messages, it's another way of trying to scam people other than through their shit bounty projects. I have totally lost faith in ICO bounties.

The form is just like a traditional airdrop form to make it more convincing that it is indeed an airdrop program which requires would be participants to input their bitcointalk username and twitter handle and could have been made as a means to verify corresponding email addresses! The first two input requirements can be used to harvest data and could be used also as attack vectors for future phishing attempts other than the email address.

But I guess the main importance of the form is that it contains an easy step by step instructions necessary for the phishing attempt to become successful since there is a very high that you will likely download the malicious executable once you've started filling it up and fulfilling very easy tasks tends to attract would be victims to try it.
