Haha that bbq
Oh no, lost all my stack to this scam!
In case anyone wonder where that link goes to, it opens a fake trezor suite and asks you for your recovery info.
With the reddit sub and the Rishi barbecue, telling, but it’s not a sub I have joined, no interest in political nonsense.
Yea I too have seen this advertisement and thought the same thing: SCAM!
The state of that BBQ, also who the fuck has a BBQ at 9.30am?
The discussion at that BBQ must have been controversial 😬
Lol the url under it is for skydiving
Irresponsible of Reddit !
I don’t use reddit on my phone.
This is one of the reasons.
The real Trezor suite will only ever ask for your seed if you are restoring your device, and even then it asks for the words out of order (the number of the word requested will show up on your Trezor device screen so that your PC will never know the order). Even so, I never use that recovery method because if someone was watching (malware) even giving them your seed phrase out or order would decrease the security of your seed tremendously. I really don’t even think they should offer that method. I only use the advanced recovery where you enter the seed in a similar way to how you enter your pin, by clicking blank buttons on your PC that correspond to characters or character rangers shown on your Trezor screen.
Really wish there was a way to enter the passphrase in a similar way as well. I don’t like giving my passphrase to my PC. That’s why I’m considering switching to the coldcard q1… It has a cute lil keyboard integrated.
Thanks i saw this ad three posts down from yours. Well spotted.
Wow those scammers look for any news to exploit
I don’t use the official reddit app anyway.
chill bro we too poor to afford a trezor anyway
Hope I can bring some light to this.
Reddit is EXTREMELY strict with crypto related ads, how do I know? Because I sell stainless steel backups and I once tried to setup Reddit Ads…
You basically have to to a full KYC and prove that the product you will advertise is not a scam. Then, they assign you a Reddit Ads representative that will have to approve each and every move you do in your account… All the creatives you upload have to be MANUALLY reviewed by said person and only then, your ad will show up.
How did they get past this? You can see the URL of the ad is skydivingbostonmassachusetts.com, so they must have had that ad approved first and then replaced the creative with this fake Trezor one which at first glance, doesn’t look like anything crypto related. Then, they replaced the contents of skydivingbostonmassachusetts.com to look like Trezor suite (or they setup a 301 redirect).
Here’s what a rejected crypto ad looks like: https://i.imgur.com/xa17jVA.png (This happened 5 minutes after uploading the creative)
edit: they did a 301 redirect
edit: the domain was registered TODAY in Russia https://who.is/whois/trezor-websuite.com
I’m way concerned with the bbq. Someone just made a really inappropriate joke/comment and it was 100% about the lady in the green dress.
Soooo…Reddit is and has been compromised.
most recovery companies will take your money again, loosing money online is very common in our days, I was a victim of investment scam. I contacted several recovery companies online..it was all tragic story. I didn’t tell my husband I invested online but at that point I couldn’t hold it. I told my husband and believe you me he was the solution to my problem..His friend had same problem and have someone who helped him figure it out..At first I thought it was all going to be crap as always, but to my greatest surprise it was a job well done. I wouldn’t have believed if someone told me because of my experience with different recovery companies with series of unfulfilled promises. Now I’m convinced from experience. I recommend: Trustworth@consultant.com, to anyone in need of similar help. Anna.
Stormtroopers, this isn‘t the deregulations you sre looking for!
r/greenandpleasant is toxic as hell. There’s nothing pleasant about that sub.
It’s full of arrogant hate filled people that think they are better that you
