I've been in crypto for years but only recently got into Useless, which caught the attention of my first scammer in a while, so I figured that's a good chance to remind people to be careful.

Last night I had someone send me a chat request through reddit and I figured I knew what it was already, but went along anyway. Sure enough, within a couple messages they sent me a link because they're SOOOO helpful:

I went ahead and opened the link in a safe browser and there's no mention of any airdrop, but they will help me organize all of my wallets, which is VERY helpful. /s

And, if you click on any of those, you get a very helpful prompt to enter 12 little words... "What? No, don't worry about what they're for, just put them in the box and press the button!"

If you haven't caught on by now, they're trying to steal your wallets by harvesting your recovery phrase. Under NO circumstances should you enter anything in sites like this or you'll end up with your wallets drained.

Fuck scammers, don't click random links and NEVER give out your wallet recovery phrase.
