RE: If you receive a message containing a wallet recovery phrase, be ware - IT IS A SCAM!

Generally I have little sympathy to people falling for such... obvious scams.

That being said, a number of thing you should always keep in mind when on the internet.

1. NEVER trust messages from anyone you don't know IRL. Even then be sceptical about anything IRL people send you.
2. NEVER click any links sent by random people.. or any links send by ANYONE. (type or google search the website first)
3. NEVER download anything from random people or even IRL people unless you absolutely know what you are downloading.
4. Set metamask to only be able to access whitelisted sites. This can prevent then hijacking it if you do click a link (not always though), Do this for all browser wallet extensions.
5. Get rich quick things are actually get poor extra quick things.

There's loads more but honestly just the first 3 do a lot to keep you safe.
