@OP, I think you should change the topic's title. "Don't do this" makes it look like you are asking us to avoid verifying the wallet we are downloading

Thanks (I will think of small changes). You should know there are limitations on total characters. The thread title (current one) uses the max cap of characters allowed.

Verify wallets before installing & using. You'll lose fund if you don't verify
Now, the title is better and I hope you like the new one but there is problem with title of replies. Replies will have title like this (2 last character automatically cut because of character limit).
Re: Verify wallets before installing & using. You'll lose fund if you don't veri
I always do what @bitmover wrote, carefully, before moving forwards with wallet verification steps in OP. They are two-layered protections for you:
- Download at legit websites.
- Verify wallets and related things.
You are safe with handy verifications.
However, I feel safe enough just by downloading files from the official website (just check social media and see if the links from there matches the address you have). I always double check everything as well.. addresses on device , on the website, etc.
It is like a basic common sense, however few people do .
