Phishing

A fake message or website that tricks you into giving away passwords, seed words or money.

Phishing is a fake email, text, ad or website that looks real, such as your wallet maker or exchange, and asks you to "verify" by entering your seed phrase or password.

Rule: a genuine wallet company never needs your seed phrase. Type addresses yourself, use bookmarks, and never enter seed words on a website.
