What happen: A 14-day-old website tries to convince people that the BRAVE browser is launching a Bounty/airdrop campaign,
could constitute a phishing attempt or allow scammers to sell a fake token

Update:
I just received a reply from Brendan Eich, from the official team, confirming the scam




Fake website: https://braverewardcoin.com/
Archive: https://archive.is/rm0Ia
(official Brave website: https://brave.com/)

Bounty thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118998.0
Archive: https://archive.is/F6KFv

Brand new social media
https://t.me/braverewardcoin (5 members at the moment)
https://www.facebook.com/braverewardcoin.bounty and https://twitter.com/braverewardcoin (both created yesterday)
https://www.instagram.com/braverewardcoin.bounty/

For memory, the real BRAVE project offers an Internet browser, combined with an advertising system in exchange for its BAT token (Basic Attention Token)


A counterfeit of the official BRAVE website


Real website


Fake website


14 days old


Not the BAT Token, but a random token


100 000 000 of BraveRewardCoin (BRC), created 14 days ago: https://etherscan.io/address/0xa02064d47480480a33cfd143236c6e4e59ec0be4
(Eth contract of the official BAT: https://etherscan.io/token/0x0d8775f648430679a709e98d2b0cb6250d2887ef)

No information about this "huge bounty and airdrop operation" on the official Brave media

I will rectify this problem, at least I am preventing a lot of stupid people in this forum, especially those who give merit for you

You will see many publishers officially registered from YouTube channels and website owners, if you say this project is scam or phishing, of course other publishers are the same, this is because you don't read the entire Braverewardcoin.com website
You also need to read this https://brave.com/2018-highlights

SCAM

we don't hold ICO events even we don't invite people to invest, so who feels disadvantaged from this project and why you say it's a SCAM

We give warnings and prohibit people from buying BRC here https://braverewardcoin.com/exchange/

PHISING

https://braverewardcoin.com/bounty/

Please read first about the braverewardcoin.com project so you don't show your ignorance in this forum

You see the download link there leading to the official website of brave.com

https://i.imgur.com/IFq2wig.jpg



so, the download link leads to the official website of brave.com, but why do you say it's phishing even though the browser application is official from the brave.com website, I think a lot of fools in this forum because they don't read the whole and explore each project, so don't be surprised if many people are deceived by SCAM projects



Note this, the vision of braverewardcoin.com as a publisher is to reach users for Brave and maybe all publishers have their own ideas, but we choose different ideas to share profits with all bounty hunters

just a little more bullshit

I have a very simple question: who allows you to use the image, the marketing material and even a full copy of the official Brave website?

Answers that, all the rest of your "explanations" are just noise

when people feel stupid, they will surely look for other reasons to get the achievements and attention of forum people, you still become a fool, you try to look at this
https://brave.com/media-assets/

all publishers are free to use material there, the more you respond to your ignorance, you will look stupid including the people who gave merit to you in this thread, please correct your accusations

Actually, my opinion doesn't really matter.
By precaution, I asked Brendan Eich his opinion about your project

Scam. Thanks for pointing it out.

Reassure me, you know Brendan isn't it ?

As a reminder, he created JavaScript, co-founded the Mozilla Foundation...and the Brave browser

yes I am a publisher who works for them, so of course I know their founder, maybe because you gave a wrong explanation so he justified your accusations
I also read it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)


the most important thing now is the importance of reading about the braverewardcoin.com project, we mean well where the profits from publishers are given to bounty hunters in this forum using BRC

okay now let's straighten out these allegations so that there will be no more misunderstandings in this forum, we don't force people to become participants in our bounty

How is it possible that one of the founding members of the project that you are supposedly heavily affiliated with doesn't even know of your operations? Your excuses here simply don't add up. The legit team literally confirmed that you are a scam - why are you even bothering to defend yourself?

It's clear that the token that you have created have absolutely no link to the BAT token that is supposed to be used in the actual project.

At least show some proof that you are even ever in contact with Brendan or any other Brave team members please. It doesn't matter whether or not your downloads link to the legit brave site, because you are literally advertising a scam token under the name of Brave, and I'm sure that they haven't given you consent to do any of this.

I do not want to defend myself even I straighten it out to be something right so there is no foolishness in the people in this forum, we are registered as a Brave publisher at the moment

if they forbid and we really did make a mistake, I think they will reject us as their official publisher, but they have accepted us as publishers now and strangely why you judge us here without reading the purpose of this project

I am doing this campaign to share our revenue with brave users with the main goal of using BRC as payment, but we remain focused on our main goals to help Brave be used by many users

so it's clear who is benefiting here?

we even intend to avoid posting spam on this forum and direct them to our website to register as bounty participants, not even needing weekly reports

if everyone wants to read more about the purpose of this project, I think maybe there will be no more fools in this forum, if indeed this project has a problem, let's return the problem to Brave to block us but it turns out we are now approved as a publisher by them, so what is your right to judge us here https://brave.com/bra772

we are just publishers and many other publishers are campaigning with their ideas, so are they also the same as us, it's like a stupid question for us

Thank you for showing us stupid behavior and please correct this problem before I report threads and posts again like this, cheers
