Fake support and QR code scams

FxWallet support never messages you first, and never asks for your mnemonic phrase or private key. Anyone who does is a scammer, even in an official group or in the replies to an official post.

Fake support​

Scammers watch community groups for people asking for help, then message them as "FxWallet support". They ask for the mnemonic phrase to "verify" or "fix" the wallet, send a link to a fake site, or ask you to scan a code. With the phrase, they can take everything in the wallet.

  • Get help only through the channels in Contact FxWallet support: email, or Me → Feedback in the app.
  • Not sure who you're talking to? Email a screenshot to [email protected] and ask. Report fake accounts the same way.

Fake QR codes​

A QR code can open a page that looks like a transfer or a claim, but asks you to approve a contract or sign a transaction. Approving gives the scammer permission to move your tokens. Fake codes show up in:

  • posters and posts that promise an airdrop if you scan a code to "verify" your wallet;
  • trades with strangers, where the "buyer" sends a code or a link to a fake payment page.

After you scan a code, read the page and every request before you confirm: who is asking, what you approve, and the address the crypto goes to. If you approved something by mistake, revoke it at once. See Token approvals.
