There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I am not on the scammers' paradise known as Telegram! Do not believe anyone claiming to be me off-forum without a signed message from the above address! Accept no excuses and make no exceptions!

I see , thanks then and I assume that It should be the same for verifying since you don't even need a private key for verifying signed message unlike signing them.

Correct, signing and verification happen locally and no blockchain data is needed.
Im not really here, its just your imagination.
