Trust wallet attempt phishing be careful

[Rockstarguy]

First of all, you should know that Trust Wallet doesn't have your email. You created your wallet without any emails or passwords so how come they're sending you an email? Every update and notification they want to send gets sent in the app.
I think you shouldn't have even bordered to click the link because it might be a malicious link that might pass virus onto your device.
When you receive emails like that, after reading and confirming that it's a scam, just block the sender and report it as a scam so the email gets blocked.

Trust wallet will never send any email to you because it is a non custodial wallet which email is not needed to create a wallet.  OP should have known that was a scam message sent to his email. I think people really needs to be careful with how they click to strange messages.  Login in to the wallet to see if there is any deposit of money is even the best, just to avoid the tricks of these scammers. Bitcoin investors should understand the essence of non custodial wallet,  this is something no one can have access to if only private keys are kept properly,  so their is no need to get worried when a strange email is sent to email.

I was aware of the risk installs in that email right from the moment I received the email, and for sure I applied all the caution that I could in other to avoid every possible way that the hacker's could gain access to me, and also to keep others informed and warned about such similar e-mail that the reason for creating this thread to warn others from possibility of such attempts.

Trust wallet have nothing directly to do with this email since their never hard my email in the first place, this kind of cheap scamming tactic, doesn't work for someone like myself.

Everyone should know this is a scam message and shouldn't rush to make any attempt to this mail because if you look at the mail you would see that is fake and scam mail, just to let people fall into trapped. But come to think of this how did your mail connection from coinbase to trustwallet related? Or do you by any means links your mail from coinbase to trustwallet if i may know?
Because judging on how things works, there is no way trustwallet would have to send you mail even if they do they don't have your mail so this is likely a suspicious mail per say.

Yes you are right when using wallets like Trust Wallet we should remember that they do not ask for personal info or send unexpected emails. If we are getting suspicious message it is probably scam trying to trick so be careful. Never click on links or share sensitive info. Always check your wallet directly to confirm transactions.

It is not always like you said. It is only true if you don't contact Trust wallet support via support ticket, and you received email claims to be from Trust wallet team, it is very likely phishing scam attack.

How to spot and handling phishing emails.

You can read their full guides, but here is the short quote at the top of their guideline.

The principle is straightforward: if you receive an unsolicited email, especially when you haven't contacted support and the email isn't a response from our ticketing system, then it's likely a scam. Should you need help, our support can be reached at support.trustwallet.com

It is a trap and usually with this email that I receive, I have no second thoughts putting them into trash.

But come to think of this how did your mail connection from coinbase to trustwallet related? Or do you by any means links your mail from coinbase to trustwallet if i may know?

Tran did explained that if you sent them a ticket and you have attached your mail, that's how they're going to respond as well. But if you haven't done anything or in anyway you never contacted them and you have received an email from trustwallet, that's already dubious.

Today I received an email that a deposit of 0.3+BTC deposits is being processed on my trust wallet, immediately my brain Skip to think which large transactions I was expecting, but none at that point I suspected a fawl play and became sceptical about the whole thing, and in the email included a link to view the transaction, and when I clicked on it on my secured browser, it took me to a page that demanded for a wallet key's, at that point it becomes clear that it was a phishing attempt.

 Everyone be careful of such an email, most especially newbies, be careful of free money and never input your wallet key anywhere unless you initiate your wallet recovery yourself.

I have received this kind of email before, but I used to delete them ASAP, because I know is a trap, and the very tricky one that I received lately, was sent directly to my phone number, with a link saying that a withdrawal has been made on my account with a particular exchange which I use, and if I didn't make such withdrawal, I should click and follow the link to stop the transaction, and funny enough this particular platform I don't have funds in their and hasn't been using it for a while.

Now I was imagining someone that has funds and aren't aware of such scamming tricks, will immediately want to use the link, and that's where people gets screwed.

At no time will trust wallet contact a customer about a deposit notification like the one in the screenshot shared by the ops, this email is a clear phising emails and should be discarded, but still it good that the ops shared this here at least this will help other newbie who may not be so much knowledgeable about trustwallet and how their operates.

Clicking any attached link is also a higher risk again because any link will be a mirror to look into some personal details of the victims, so be careful with such links

Trust Wallet recently mentioned in X, a scam website that looks exactly like theirs:

🚨 Scam Alert 🚨
We’ve spotted a fake website impersonating Trust Wallet. On mobile, it copies our site; on desktop, it sneaks you to a photography page.

Don’t fall for it! Always double-check URLs and only download Trust Wallet from official sources.
https://x.com/TrustWallet/status/1854969833286517225

They’ve become big enough to attract the attention of scammers who want to come up with new scams, so you should only use official, trusted sources when it comes to your funds, and carefully check where you go, or where a link redirects you.

You are absolutely right to be careful. Those emails and texts are attempts to trick you. They want you to share private information or download harmful software. Message you got saying money was taken from your account is common trick. Scammers try to make you worried and click link quickly without thinking. But you knew better and deleted message. That is smart decision. It is very important to warn others about these scams especially those who do not know about them. You can help keep others safe by spreading word. Like OP has already done.

His mail may have leaked on the net, one way the malicious team scraped the mail address. The mail template is appealing, including the money. Greedy people will be at a disadvantage.

They’ve become big enough to attract the attention of scammers who want to come up with new scams, so you should only use official, trusted sources when it comes to your funds, and carefully check where you go, or where a link redirects you.

Using official sources is one of the basic safety measures; however, people also need to ensure they don't store a lot of funds in web wallets or online wallets because they are usually vulnerable to risks, especially the ones that don't give you access to your keys. You might have a seed phrase, but having your keys means you own your coins, which are in your custody and not with a third party. Newbies often use such wallets to store all their assets, which is a mistake.

Some people also use exchanges to keep all their assets, which is another mistake because exchanges are also vulnerable to attacks and exploits, and one might lose their money if their account gets compromised because exchanges might only compensate you if the exchange gets hacked, but if individual accounts are compromised, you will barely get anything back.

So it's better to use non-custodial wallets to keep your funds and make sure you store your keys and phrases somewhere very safe.

For safety use official websites and apps that is most important. But do not keep a lot of money in online wallets. They are not secure. Online wallets can be hacked and you might lose money. This is especially true if you do not have control over your account. Many people new to cryptocurrency make mistake they store all their money in online wallets or exchanges. This is risky. If exchange or online wallet is hacked you might not get your money back. To stay safe use wallets that only you control and keep your secret codes and keys secure and also store them in safe place. Keeping your cryptocurrency safe requires attention and responsible management.
