There is a new type of scam spreading on slack. I am a victim of it.
I fell for this dumb scam.
The link in the e-mail is myetherwallet.com.co. I was so surprised by this e-mail, I didn't even check the URL.
Right after I tried to log in on the fake page, I noticed it was a scam and check the sub reddit of BAT. There was already a post of it, but while I tried to transfer my tokens to a new wallet, I lost all of it.
Lesson learned. I'm so mad about it, but it was all my fault.
It's happening on every slack chanel, not on BAT.
RESTEEM THIS POST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW! MAKE SURE YOU WON'T FALL TO THIS LIKE I DID!
Always be aware when logging in.
Don't be greedy and you won't lose any money. Period.
"Period." That's settles it then. Greed is the cause of all online mistakes!
what does this type of scam with being greedy have in common?
I don't get it either.
If my Crypto's aren't working for me they're on paper wallets
I only had 1k BAT token (bought on $0.3) in MEW and all my other cryptos are in HW wallet or paper wallet. Regret the moment when Iβ was lazy to set it up.
yeah my nem harvester still isn't active
Also @poloniex took my money.
Yeah usually just takes a while they locked up 4 ETH on me for 5 days
Sorry to hear that. With polo atleast you have some chance to get it back sometimes. In my case, I can only blame myself for being so dumb.
agreed
Ooh Realy?
yea...
Thank you for admitting and sharing your mistake with us, hopefully it can help prevent more people from falling for it. Mistakes like not checking the URL are easy to make, and the cost can be high. Resteemed for more visibility!
It is, indeed.. I hate myself now. Only had 1k BAT and bought at $0.3, but still annoying.

i am sorry to hear your lost. but lesson learn.
resteem it.
Slack is for communication like discord. You can contact the devs there.
Always double check the link before entering sensitive information! Always beware.
Unfortunately, learned my lesson.
thank you ragnar
Sorry to hear that.. out of curiosity, how much did you lose?
It's not about the money, more about the feeling how stupid I am. It was close to 1K BAT token, current price is 12 cents, but I bought them around 33-35 cents, so about $350.
Don't feel so bad bro, we're people, we make mistakes, it happens :).
You are right!
On the other hand, βI'm glad all my other cryptos are paper wallets.
