Jacob Canfield technological commentator reported On a new scam using physical letters which closely imitate the official correspondence of the great book. The false letters display official elements of the big book company such as their information on the logo and address of the company. They also include reference numbers to create an impression of authenticity.
The letter orders users to scan a QR code, followed by the entry of their 24 -words recovery sentence to complete what seems to be a vital security update verification process. These letters threaten access to limited portfolio and blocking funds if users fail to execute their compulsory validation procedures.
