MetaMask Demanding KYC Docs Or Suspension

[JAI-LING]

Anyone can confirm this is true? If so, there goes the whole reason for bitcoin and the rest.

I received this yesterday. Is it phishing?

Dear User,

Can't help - sorry :(

Yeah, no problem. It's been pretty much cut adrift after all the hacking and scamming in last couple years. It wouldn't really affect us at this point. It seems the ones still pushing crypto are the scammers.

I guess KYC will kill a lot of things. |hellomoto|

Definitely phishing.

Bitcoin wallets are downloaded for you to own. The only way KYC can be required is if 3rd party is involved, ie: exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, etc

Metamask is for Ethereum, should be the same.
