no matter how hard you pass the information across, no matter the warning displayed during the generation of seed phrase on reputed wallet, some people will just still be falling for this type of easy-to-avoid scam. Even, common pay 2 and get 4, they are falling for it.
but the sad thing is that some people are falling for this crap all the time.
It's not something that people should do, but they do it because they lack the knowledge or are too surprised with the information they get and do whatever it says in the email.
Usually, those who easily fall for such scams are actually the ones who have significant amounts at risk
[they tend to have little to no time for learning a bit more than just the basics stuff].
I don't know how many people own Ledger wallets, and if the number is large enough it's almost guaranteed that a fraction of them (however small) will fall for it and thus lose all their coins.
Ledger has sold "
over 3 million" wallets so far and even though that doesn't automatically equate to having 3 million users
[e.g. multiple wallet owners], it's still a huge number
[unfortunately].
Do you have the link to submit my seed phrases to? I have a few billion seed phrases, certainly wouldn't want any of them to be terminated, so I'll submit them as fast as I can.
You just made my day
