Banner Promoting Fake Lego Coin Leads to Ethereum Token Scam
Visitors to Lego’s website on October 4 were surprised to see a banner advertising a “Lego coin” and promising secret rewards to buyers. However, this was not an official cryptocurrency launch by Lego. The banner led users to an external website selling “LEGO Tokens” with Ethereum, indicating a crypto scam had taken place. The company quickly removed the unauthorized banner and links once it was discovered.
