If you receive an email or txt about an offer to receive $500 by signing up for the new 'Celsius Web Wallet' - this is a phishing attempt - do not attempt to connect your wallet and definitely do not send your wallet seed phrase or private key!
This was actually quite a solid phishing email in regards to look and feel - the only clues is that the web address is celsiuswallet.network instead of celsius.network and the offer is a bit too good to be true - playing on your emotional urgency to respond and make a quick $500!
Security tips to remember:
- Never provide your wallet seed phrase to anyone
- Never provide your secret key to anyone
- Do not connect your wallet to any site you do not trust
- If an offer seems to good to be true, then it probably is
- Any offer that has a sense of urgency like register in next 2 hours or by end of today may be a red flag
- Always check the url of the site, the email of the send, etc. to determine if they are known/safe addresses
- If you have any doubt then email the real service and ask - several people contacted Celsius Network today and Celsius tweeted and send email notifications that this offer was fraudulent
Here is the fake 'celsiuswallet.network' phishing site:
If you click on 'Web Wallet', you get these options to connect your wallet or provide the seed phrase, key, etc. - DON'T DO IT!!:
Stay safe out there!
