Our community has been subject to regular attempts by cyber criminals to steal property and information.

Block.one encourages everyone to remain on high alert for scams, phishing, hacks and other malicious activities.

Scammers may attempt to steal your private keys, personal information, passwords and other items of value. Please remember to carefully read and review everything associated with a project, email or other communication before taking any action.

Nobody from Block.one will request your private key(s), passwords or personal information, whether by phone or in a Telegram message, email, website or any other form of communication.

A scammer that successfully steals your private key(s) will gain control of your account(s) on all community blockchains. The same may be true for passwords and other identifying information. For this reason, it is critical that you do not download, compile, install, or run software from untrusted sources, including repositories, websites and links, or provide your keys or personal information to any untrusted person or site. Please be cautious before using any community efforts, as Block.one will not review, certify, nor endorse any specific effort.

Scammers impersonate people or companies. A Telegram chat, website or email may look like it is owned by Block.one or appear to have come from someone at Block.one and still be fake. Scammers use a false sense of urgency to trick you into giving them your private keys or other information.

Your private keys and personal information are private. Exercise caution when dealing with anyone that requests access to your private keys or any other personal information or property, regardless of how it is requested.
