đšSCAM AWARENESS (a must-read)đš
Phishing scams are some of the most common types of scams in #crypto as they are the easiest to set up and often the hardest to prevent.
But... knowledge is your power! đȘ
So, we'd like to highlight 3 of the most popular scams and what to look out for đ
(see example images attached to this post below)
Image 1 - Scam messages/DM's on social.
Found in comments all across social media, scam bots will post comments like these to try and persuade users into contacting the scammers via these email addresses or private message.
They will usually pose as 'Trust Wallet Support' (or any project entity) and ask you to provide your 'secret phrase' to help assist you with an issue. These are of course, fake support team members and fake email addresses.
Remember that if anyone has your 'secret 12 word phrase', they have complete access to your funds. Never, under any circumstances give anyone these 12 words, not even a real Trust Wallet member will ask you for them. There is no reason for anyone else needing to know what your secret phrase is, to be able to assist you.
There are only 2 ways to access our support team. Either directly in the #TrustWallet app under settings>support, or via our official website trustwallet.com (and head to the support section).
Best course of action: Ignore these messages and report the social accounts.
Image 2 - Fake emails.
Firstly, you should remember that we never ask for any of your personal details when you set up your Trust Wallet - so how would we be able to send you emails in the first place? We don't know anyone's email address, or any other details for that matter.
Scam emails like this come in many forms. ).
