Just read about someone that was scammed for 35k from a ledger Nano s bought from eBay. The ledger had already been set up and the seller made a legit looking scratch card with the 24 recovery phrase on it, subsequently logged in and stole his funds.

I bought myn on Amazon, I am right in assuming that the 24 word phrase can only be viewed once. When I set myn up I was given the words in order which I have stored in a safe place. Myn can be compromised can it as i was given the word combination on set up?

Every electronic device could be flashed and compromised. My guess is that exactly this happened here. Somebody flashes the Ledger with corrupted seed.

Nobody should ever buy any wallet from other place than original producers.
