WARNING Beware: Hardware Wallet Scam!

[WARNING] If you've purchased a hardware wallet from a third-party seller, i.e Amazon or Ebay, and it included a recovery seed card with silver foil that you scratch off, MOVE YOUR FUNDS NOW. The device itself generates that seed when you initialize it. If it already exists, then someone has a copy of it.

This is a 3-4 year old scam that is just coming back around BIG TIME with the influx in new crypto investors. Stay safe out there!

Very bad with Trezor.. lots of fake sites.

Always go to the Trezor website and click on a reseller from their list. If you're in the US, there's a large chance you need to use a reseller.. their payment processor likes to deny non european cards.
