NOTICE: Brave will NEVER ask for your private Wallet data/keys

[Mattches]

Hello,
This is a reminder from us here at Brave to never give out your Wallet recovery phrase and/or password. Official Brave team members will never ask you for this information for any reason — if someone on Community (or anywhere, really) has contacted you asking for this information, or to visit a site and insert this information, they are likely attempting to scam you and gain access to/steal your assets.

Additionally, you can always check and see if an official Brave Team member is talking to you by checking the icon next to the avatar — observe both the Brave logo that appears in it, as well as the “Shield” icon next to the user name:

If you receive a DM from someone and do not see both of these icons on the avatar/username of the person talking to you, it is not a Brave team member.

If anyone is contacted by someone that they believe may be attempting to scam them, or impersonate a Brave employee, please reach out to me (@Mattches) or @steeven as soon as possible.

I also want to add for everyone. These scam accounts tend to do replies like below:

If you click on their links, they will have created a fake website that looks just like Brave’s. For example:

You’ll notice the URL isn’t to Brave’s and it offers a live chat, which Brave does not offer. These are complete scams and their fake support agents will try to ask for information like your seed phrases or other information that they can use to try to take everything you have in your wallets.

They may also ask you to download something, which would then end up putting keyloggers, viruses, or other malware on your device. Key thing is, be very careful.

Brave regularly bans these scam accounts but they continuously use VPN or proxies to create new accounts. It’s an ongoing battle.
