Recently, MetaMask wallet users need to be cautious. Scammers are impersonating and creating fake MetaMask security alert pages to phishing, with the goal of tricking you into completing the so-called "two-factor authentication" process. Don't be fooled—this trick's real purpose is to steal your seed phrase.



The scam usually proceeds as follows: first, they send a page that looks very much like an official security warning, then guide you step-by-step through what they claim is 2FA verification. Each step appears legitimate, but the end result is your wallet seed phrase being stolen.

So remember: MetaMask official will never ask you to enter your seed phrase or private key through pop-ups or pages. If any page asks you to do so, close it immediately—don't hesitate. Protecting your wallet credentials is protecting your assets.

Another wave of phishing scams, these people really never stop... Losing your seed phrase truly results in total loss.

Fraud is so rampant, oh my god, I almost fell for that 2FA nonsense.

Damn, they're at it again? I was wondering why so many people in the group have lost their money recently.

Here we go again with this? I almost got scammed before, and now I reflexively turn off 2FA whenever I see it.

Once the mnemonic phrase is entered, it's gone. These scammers really know how to play.
