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 scams? I told you wallets are unsafe these days --- Never input your seed phrase, this basic knowledge is being stolen by scams --- Damn, it's the same old trick, looks like it's official, and then it's all over --- They really dare to impersonate MetaMask, quite bold --- So just don't click on suspicious links, it's that simple --- I'm just wondering, does the official really ask you to input your seed phrase? --- Reminding you day after day, why are these scammers so active? --- Just close it directly, it's not that complicated --- Don't trust any verification processes, they're all scams

Once the mnemonic phrase is entered into the page, it's completely gone. This phishing scheme is getting more and more detailed.

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