Wallet safety guide
Fake wallet support often appears during stressful moments: login confusion, missing balance, failed restore, or urgent update prompts. Realistic wallet safety means never sharing a recovery phrase, private key, wallet file, screen-share session, or transaction-signing approval with anyone claiming to fix Cake Wallet for you.

A user searches for help, sees a convincing account or support page, and is moved into a private chat. The scammer asks for a screenshot, seed phrase, wallet file, screen share, verification payment, or emergency recovery form. Each step is framed as normal support, but the real goal is account takeover or fund theft.
Be cautious when someone says they can restore funds for a fee, validate your wallet, synchronize your account manually, or unlock funds if you paste recovery words. Wallet support should not need your seed phrase or private keys. The person asking for them is the risk.
Use public documentation and verified support paths, describe issues without revealing secrets, and keep recovery material offline. If a restore is not showing the expected balance, check sync status, restore height, network state, and app source before escalating.
No. Treat any request for recovery words, private keys, or wallet files as a critical red flag.
They may be impersonators. Verify support paths independently and do not move sensitive wallet material into chats or screen shares.
Share non-sensitive context only, such as app version, device type, general sync status, and error wording. Never share seed phrases, private keys, wallet files, or screenshots that expose secrets.
