SCAM PREVENTION

Know the scam before it reaches your wallet.

Check who is really ELLIPAL, spot common scams, and know what to do if something happens.

RECOGNIZE THE REQUEST

What scammers may try, and what to do.

01 / SEED PHRASE PHISHING

Never share your Seed Phrase. Not one word, not one letter.

1

“Frozen” or “at risk” is the hook. It pushes you to act before you think.

2

Any site, form or chat that asks you to share your Seed Phrase is a scam.

02 / FAKE SUPPORT

“Support” messages you first

1

A look-alike account reaches out first. Check it against our official accounts.

2

The “tool” that secures your wallet is the trap. ELLIPAL never asks for your Seed Phrase.

03 / FAKE WEBSITES

A copy of our website

1

A familiar logo is not proof. Check the full website address. ELLIPAL’s official website is ellipal.com.

2

Use the official App download links on ellipal.com. Avoid unknown download links and unofficial APK sites.

04 / ADDRESS POISONING

A look-alike address in your History

1

A tiny transfer you never expected, from an address that looks like one you use.

2

The first and last characters may match. Verify the full receiving address using a trusted source before you send.

05 / PRE-FILLED SEED PHRASES

A Seed Phrase already in the box

1

A new ELLIPAL device must not arrive with someone else’s wallet or a pre-filled Seed Phrase. Create a new wallet yourself, or restore your own existing wallet.

2

If you find a pre-filled Seed Phrase, do not use it or send assets to that wallet. Contact ELLIPAL Support.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENED

If it already happened

ELLIPAL cannot freeze your crypto or reverse a confirmed Blockchain transaction. Here is what you can do next.

01

Stop contact

Stop replying, clicking links, or signing requests. Do not send more crypto to “unlock” or recover your assets.

02

Save evidence

Keep transaction IDs, wallet addresses, screenshots, and links. Report the incident to your local police or cybercrime authority.

03

Secure what is left

If your Seed Phrase or Private Key was exposed, create a new wallet on your trusted hardware wallet and move remaining assets. Stop using the exposed wallet.

If you approved a suspicious transaction or token permission, stop interacting with the site and contact ELLIPAL Support for guidance.

What ELLIPAL will never do

If any of these happens, it is not ELLIPAL.

EVERYDAY HABITS

Habits that make you harder to scam.

Never click unknown links

When in doubt, do not click. Use ellipal.com to find official information.

Check the transaction you intend to make

Verify the full receiving address, amount, and network against a trusted source. On ELLIPAL Titan devices, check these details on the device screen before signing.

Keep your Seed Phrase offline

Never photograph, screenshot, or store it on a connected device.

Slow down when rushed

“Within 24 hours” or “act now” is pressure. Stop and check before you act.

Question unexpected rewards

Be cautious of unexpected rewards or guaranteed returns. Never share your Seed Phrase or send crypto to claim a prize.
