- Sam
He says he's support and he'll upgrade my wallet.
- Nexubo
For a standard recovery-phrase wallet, the phrase is the control key, not a support code. Same for your private key. Never send them to anyone. Even our academy assistant should never ask for them.
- Narrator
Two more danger signs: guaranteed returns, and pressure to pay. A screenshot of big profits proves nothing, and doesn't mean you could repeat it. If someone rushes you past the normal checks, stop.
- Nexubo
Connecting a wallet, signing a message and approving access to your assets are different things. If you don't understand a signature or approval, don't confirm it. No password prompt doesn't mean no risk.
- Narrator
If you think something leaked, stop and use the official security channel. Act on what actually leaked. Never install remote-control software because a scammer told you to.
- Sam
Sharing info to receive money isn't the same as handing over the keys.
- Nexubo
Share no secrets. Approve nothing you don't understand. Don't be rushed into paying.
