Scammers sending messages of trust wallet verification.

[CryptSafe]

It is laughable how these scammers are so shallow minded. They think people are not informed to know what is obtainable in the Crypto industry. Although some newbies still fall for their trap but I think this trick does not have achievable attempt on me.

This mail was sent at the early hours of the day from scammers because I know for sure that trust wallet can not stoop so low to demarket their products in such a demeaning way. If you read through you would discover that there is a link provided by the scammers which I suspected it to be a phishing link to get access to wallet or possibly requesting for key phrase too and I was wondering when trust wallet began to do wallet verification otherwise wallet be suspended.

So far to the best of my knowledge, third party wallets are just service providers and have no right to request for verification purposes otherwise they might be dumped by their users. If any wallet ask you for KYC then it means that they are not serious for business or they are scammers in disguise.

Be careful how you click links of such nature in your mailbox so as to avoid hearing stories that touches the heart.

You don’t even need to read the entire mail to know that it’s full of shits.

Even a newbie that has stayed at least a week in the crypto space and has been able to read and learn the difference between a custodial and non-custodial wallet should be able to know that this is a phishing mail.

Another thing got me curious, how did they get your email address ? From the little time I have operated trust wallet you don’t really require an email to sign up there since it’s a non-custodial wallet so how did they send you an email?

Your image is not clear but I can see 'confirm recovery seed phrase' which is written big in that blue area on your device.

It is a phishing attack, but you know and avoid it. Be careful with the sites you are giving your personal information like email and documents.

The hacker got your personal information from somewhere and trying to use it ti scam you.

There are some that will come in form of 'connect wallet. They are all scam.

Some links will contain malware which is the reason we supposed not to click on any link like that.

They target thousands of crypto users and send emails with this phishing link, now even if the success percentage of this email is very low then there is a chance to scam a good amount of crypto currency. Because among these thousands of email recipients, there will be some crypto users who have no idea about such scams, so there is a high possibility that they may fall prey to these scammers. So it is important for everyone to be careful here, otherwise mistakes can be made many times without your knowledge.

You have done well by creating this thread with the warning, those who are inexperienced new crypto users will be warned after reading this thread, it is helpful for them.

Same question I am asking myself till this moment. Trust wallet need not my email for me to open a wallet neither do they need any documents or details for me to use. Now I begin to think that possibly details have been traded else where because I barely fill my mail any where  only  for exchanges and casino and of lately, I have been receiving series of junk mails which this is also amongst them. Although I do not receive mails of such nature in the past but to my greatest surprise I started receiving series of messages back to back from different languages in their thirties and forties straight every day that it is becoming ridiculous and embarrassing. I am just tired of deleting junk mails every day which is beginning to irritate me.
I wish I could just block them all. It's very frustrating.

I barely click anything that goes to my email anymore. If I can verify the email address that it's sent from, I may open it, but unless I am expecting an email, I usually just let them be.

It's crazy how many people would still be fooled by the type of email you are posting about though.

I tend to agree and that's indeed right, especially a message that comes from your spam box.
I usually ignored that message sent to my mailbox and avoided clicking it, it's an old trick by scammers that until now still people get fooled.

By the way thanks for this warning.
I think IMO you need to double-secure your email account now or change any important accounts associated with that email account.
It's likely a compromised account for me when we received a suspicious message.

Obviously it's a random email sent.
But Trust Wallet has a seed phrase recovery backup method via GoogleDrive, and it requires you to link a Gmail account on a local device. If brandnew users remember they have done this, they'll assume such an email is official.

Users of trust wallet should take a very serious heed over the use of trust wallet because scammers are doing much to attack users considering that they know it's a wallet most common to newbies and it's support for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies use, if a user is sensitive enough, they should be at alert on the level of information received by them claiming from trust wallet and never to trust such because of the contents of the request they are placing, such couldn't have been asked if it were the real trust wallet, there are all manners of links and physhing related attack through this which scammers are using.

[JollyGood]

Sometimes, it is possible for the most cautious person receiving the email to lower their guard and click the phishing mail. It is unfortunate but people do get drawn in to scams for one reason or another. If these types of scams were not profitable for the scammers they would probably stop and move on to other ways trying to scam.

Phising links are easily recognisable but problem is that, as a newbie sometimes we don't much about these scams attempt and we put our paraphrase by thinking as a legit. I remembered when i was newbie I opened phising Metamask website and putted my phrase key then after doing multiple attempt to open wallet i recognize it's that its phising attempt. Scammers doing different tracks to cheat. some tricks are easy recognized like mail, telegram dm while some malware attempt are not easy to recognize and hackers got access to our wallet. These attempts are made through games, software and when we download it from unknown sites , malware leak our personal data.

In online work we have to be smart enough and shouldn't allow scammers to break security. I recieved many mail for Binance fake app update, ATM password change, Metamask update but still i am safe as i have never opened these spamming messages.

They are scammer and they received your email from data hack.
It's same for Ledger too. I always receive emails where it ask me to verify Ledger live and reinstall it. They give a button / a link to visit and to download it from there. Once you download and install or click the link, you are in danger. Somehow they will get some kind of access from your system to harm you.

Not trying to be out of topic, but... does one of the casino you use to enroll to happen to be the recent one that's got into the spotlight, betnomi? Because IIRC --and by it, I mean I confirmed my memory by searching the posts and reading them again-- many users of betnomi got nice waves of spam in their inbox. So maybe that's where it came from.

There's something weird happened with me yesterday. I still can't exactly find out what happened with me and how that happened.
I was checking my Trust Wallet after a long time and checking the NFT section as I had an NFT from Binance and some other. Suddenly I found that there were some spammy NFT too. They were like $5000 USDC voucher etc. I checked all of them. Just checked. Nothing else I did.
After that, I sent some ETH from my wallet to my exchange. I noticed a notification on BNB balance too. After checking out, I found a pending tx there. Don't know why but the transaction wasn't confirmed ever either. I had a quick search of the address and it turned out that I know the owner of the address.
Later, after few hours, I decided to move all the fund I had there. When I moved, I found another notification on the BNB balance. One more pending tx was there. Same thing happened, the tx wasn't confirmed. Again I did a google with the address and found he is a bounty hunter.

Can anyone explain what exactly happened with me? I haven't been scammed but it seems there was a scam attempt. Can someone explain this?

A member created a thread about something similar to what you have said and from the looks, it seems what you have said is not different from what was discussed and uploaded on that thread which link I provided below.

From your explanations I think there was an attempt on you if not how can there be a triggered transaction waiting for your approval when in the right sense from your explanations you did not do any of such. Possibly, some one must have been monitoring your wallet address or possibly the attack sent in form of nft has a dust effect on wallets that triggers transactions waiting for the wallet owner to approve of it.

I think you moving your assets out from that wallet was the best  smart option taken so as to protect your funds from being stolen. If you read that thread, you will find out that the nft is definitely a dust attack on wallets so it will be in a good idea one who received such do the needful gbby transferring away their assets from the corrupted wallet before the unexplainable happens.

You need to be very careful and ensure you change your password and carry out other security measures. When you are giving out emails to third-party service providers make sure it is not your primary email or phone number. Having a casual mail or phone number for such registration and transactions will be the best option to avoid attacks on your main accounts. I have seen people lose money because they exposed their main emails to exchanges and their email was hacked when hackers had access to the exchange.

Once you download and install or click the link, you are in danger. Somehow they will get some kind of access from your system to harm you.

Obviously they are scammers because I see no reasons why trust wallet would send such a message and come to talk of it, trust wallet does not require one to install their app by providing details such as email for validation but rather you install and create your wallet address or possibly import an already existing wallet. So I do not think trust wallet could send such a message.  Right from the time I first saw the mail I knew it was a Scam attempt and as you have said, it might not be far from the truth as I have been receiving unsolicited messages in various languages all in my junk box including this one I uploaded here for view. It is possible that there is a data hack somewhere which might have revealed information or details of clients registered with such organization.

It is so dissappointing to see such a thing happening and the organizations seems not to care about it by informing their clients of the hack while advising them to be on a high alert if they keep receiving unsolicited messages from scammers or elsewhere. Maybe they are afraid of legal actions for the reasons being that data got hacked as a result of their carelessness.

This scam is obvious to anyone who has experience but we can say trust wallet can record your private keys and steal them at any time they want. It is true that they have not done that yet, but anything is possible. I'm surprised how they got your email address and made sure that you downloaded the trust wallet. In general, your wallet should be in separate devices from the Internet and from anything related to CEXs.

I don't know if the problem was from trust wallet because trust wallet has nothing to do with email but I feel the mail might be from one of this scamners out their, I still wonder what does trust wallet has to do with email.  People just need to be careful with their wallet because the level at which scam is going is beyond the imagination of the human reasoning . Scamners are already aware that lots of users are making use of trust wallet ,  it could be a random mail that was sent to lot of users using the trust wallet for hodling Bitcoin and other crypto.

So far to the best of my knowledge, third party wallets are just service providers and have no right to request for verification purposes otherwise they might be dumped by their users. If any wallet ask you for KYC then it means that they are not serious for business or they are scammers in disguise.

Well, there is actually a non custodial wallet that does request their users verify their wallet addresses, how they implemented it is that, when you request for that your address be verified from the app wallet, they will connect your address to a third party verification partner which will also connect your address to their partner centralized exchange, if you are already verified on that exchange, then your address will be automatically verified, you will be returned back to your wallet with a message that your address is now verified.

But if you have not passed KYC verification on their partner exchange, then the exchange will ask for your documents and every other required information for the verification, once you submit the requested documents and get verified on the exchanged, your address on the non custodial wallet will also get a verified badge automatically..

The verification is very optional though, its not mandatory at all, i think they implemented solely as a way to discourage fraud in between the wallet users..
