What happened: A few days ago a guy pm'ed me and was saying he can help to confirmy my transactions if I send him my 12 words seed and he was asking for a reward of 0.01btc in the end. I thought it was fishy and started researching more about all terms and stuff and I said I am going to deal with my issue on my own. He kept messaging me.

Additional Notes: He was clearly trying to scam me.
Obvious signs:
1. PM'ed me instead of replying to me in topic
2. Claimed the only way to solve my issue is to let him have my 12 words seed
3. He was creating a rush situation by constantly messaging me and saying that "[he] wastes his time"
4. After that he was asking for only 0.01btc reward
5. Contacting me again even though I said that I would contact him If I need any help
Here is his facebook(

His skype -

Also, be aware of scammers and look out for possible the same signs and do not give away your information (passwords, logins, seeds, private keys, etc) to any people! If you are a newbie like me just take your time and make sure to figure out everything (like what these things are etc, you can always google or ask a lot of trusted/strangers people on a different sites)
Peace everyone and remember: do not trust people in the internet! (and it will save you)
