Trust Wallet impersonation scams

What this scam usually looks like

A message claims a Trust Wallet security issue, a reward, or a wallet problem and tries to get your seed phrase, password, or a 'verification' transfer.

What the real Trust Wallet will never ask for

Your seed phrase or private keys
You to 'connect and sign' to verify your wallet
A fee to unlock or recover crypto

Common fake message patterns

Sanitised examples - placeholders only, never real links or data.

Example only: Trust Wallet: validate your wallet - enter your 12-word phrase.

Example only: Claim your airdrop - connect and sign here: [fake-link removed]

Common red flags

Any request for your seed phrase or recovery words
Links to 'verify' or 'restore' your Trust Wallet wallet
Promises of free tokens, airdrops, or guaranteed returns
Pressure to act before a deadline
Support that appears in DMs or chat groups uninvited

How to verify safely

Never share your seed phrase or recovery words with anyone, ever.
Open Trust Wallet only through the official app you installed.
No genuine service asks you to 'verify' by sending crypto.
Ignore unsolicited support in groups or DMs.

What not to do

Do not click links in unexpected Trust Wallet messages.
Do not share passwords, OTPs, or card details prompted by a Trust Wallet message.
Do not call phone numbers contained in the message.

If you already clicked or paid

If you entered details on a fake Trust Wallet page or paid, act fast: change your password from a trusted device, enable two-factor authentication, and contact Trust Wallet and (if money or card details were involved) your bank through official channels.
