Another phishing site, report it to https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en to be taken down asap.

Edit:

You can also post the phishing site in this format if you want more people to report it:

Thanks for posting it here, This is obviously a fake/phishing website but some newbies might be fool by them. BAT using yahoo email is very suspicious in the first place. The only legit BAT airdrop is from brave browser and coinbase.

Yeah. Its very obvious and the fact that users needs to download a Brave browser installer again doesn't feel right when they can do it via updates, assuming the bounty was legitimate.

Just recently, I have received an email purportedly coming from the Brave browser team with the subject "Update your Brave browser. Get 1,500 BAT tokens" after which I became suspicious since 1.5k BAT bounty to be given individually sounds too good to be true and I see many red flags on the email (as illustrated below) and suspicious links which I find very obvious to be forms of scam tactics!

Please disregard this email and don't visit those sites listed on the form or give any personal information whatsoever. This is obviously a scam bounty program and the link to the download page is a phishing site - identical to the official Brave website! Also, we may run the risk of downloading a trojan or any other malware that could be embedded if we proceed to download that installer without hesitation.
