How do fake crypto support accounts on X try to steal your wallet?

If someone writes to you after a public complaint and asks for a seed phrase, a code, remote access or an upfront recovery fee, that is the scam pattern, not support. I am not selling anything here. The source below is our own educational page, where the IC3 points are cited in full.

When you are active too on projects in web3 for example on telegram and discord. Dont be surprise if theres a lot of messages privately on how to recover or help you on your inquiries/problems that youve asked for as these scammers are faster than lightning to respond but someone long in the web3 will check the username first if its legit or not cause majority will fake their profiles.

I remember the first time I started using telegram, once I complain about one difficulty with wallet or anything crypto related many people will start sending me messages, impersonating the group admin and so on.

I fell for it once until the bastard told me to click on a link, I wasn't even this smart at the time but it doesn't make sense because it has nothing to do with what I was trying to solve.

It was at the moment I knew this person isn't genuine, you can put an end to this in your social app security settings to never get PM from people, easy.
