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?
This news has been spread and became popular, the re-seller is totally messing up with his business. I have seen that post on reddit and someone from ledger company (I can't remember if that's the CEO), will help him out to recover that fund.

They'll file case and sue that ebay re-seller, the point is he didn't started out from scratch to operate his own nano ledger s that will generate new recovery words.

He's too comfortable that it's already written out thinking that it's safe (which is true about nano ledger S), it is safe but what the re-seller did is intentional.

For those nano ledger S users, you don't have to worry if you're the one that operated it for the first time and written down those recovery words.

The lesson here is order directly from ledgerwallet.com
