The site seems taken down, I can't access nor could find the host IP address. It seems the scammer intended to steal the seed phrase of the ledger wallet. Anyone who has sense shouldn't enter seed phrases on any online website. It doesn't necessary to enter seed phrase anywhere to use a ledger device to use it.

However, anyone using the Ledger device means he should have enough knowledge of how to keep a safe seed phrase. And most likely that's why scammer takes off the site and planing another way to scam (LOL).

With millions of hardware wallets sold, some many of them must be owned by people who don't understand the basics. This phising scam has been around for a long time, and people keep falling for it.

I would suspect these types of scams will pick up around the holiday season. Many people will scoop up Black Friday deals on hardware wallets, and a lot of these people will not be as security conscious as they should be.

It should be that such links will periodically appear on the net with some changes. In order not to get caught on a phishing site masquerading as a ledger's website, I recommend comparing links on social networks, for example, twitter, instagram, reddit, etc. They cannot all be false.  :)
