[Trezor issues an important warning: What’s going on? 】
Trezor, a leading cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider, recently issued a warning on social media platform X, alerting users about a potential scam platform. The company warned users that an investment platform called Trezor Group was pretending to be affiliated with it.
This warning comes as Trezor has received multiple customer support requests that show confusion among users. Trezor's parent company, SatoshiLabs, stressed that it is not affiliated with Trezor Group in any way. The company emphasizes that it will never solicit funds or assets from users and urges them to remain vigilant against potential fraud.
Trezor’s advice highlights the importance of users exercising caution and verifying the authenticity of the platform. In the rapidly changing cryptocurrency industry, scams and fraud are increasingly sophisticated, making it necessary for users to stay informed and remain suspicious of unsolicited requests for funds or personal information.
The company reminds users that they should always check official channels for updates and be wary of platforms or individuals claiming to be officially associated with Trezor or SatoshiLabs.
The incident is a reminder of the current challenges in the cryptocurrency industry, with losses due to fraud reaching $3.94 billion in 2023, a 53% increase from $2.57 billion in 2022. This is just for the United States. Overall investment fraud increased 37% from $3.3 billion to $4.56 billion.
