A new type of scam targeting MetaMask users has recently emerged—scammers create very realistic "2FA security verification" pages to trick you into revealing your seed phrase. This phishing attack is particularly clever because it exploits users' trust in the security verification process. Once the seed phrase falls into the hands of scammers, all assets in the wallet can be transferred out, with almost no chance of recovery. Therefore, a reminder to everyone: legitimate exchanges and wallet platforms will never ask you to enter your seed phrase through pop-ups or verification pages—that's an ironclad rule. If you encounter any request for your seed phrase, no matter how official the interface looks, stop immediately. A little caution can prevent a lot of risk.

Mnemonic phrases really shouldn't be given out casually. I've seen too many heartbreaking cases.

Another wave of new scam tricks, these people are really good at playing... Don't trust any pop-up windows, that's all.

This trick is really clever; I almost fell for it myself last week.
