Please provide me with some links.
Customer support of my hardware wallet said they had good experiences with changelly. But this was 1 year ago

From what I understand, Trezor, Ledger and Tangem are partners and I guess part of the partnership deal is referring their users to Changelly and that's why your device manufacturer made the recommendation. However, the truth is that the exchange is known for dubious practices and you should avoid it. Here are few cases compiled by Jawhead999. If you search on the internet, I'm sure you will find more.

If you search this exchange before, you'll see a bunch of thread have discussed against this scam exchange. Changelly have multiple scam accusations and only solve a few cases.

The same guy who recommended changelly (customer support of my hardware wallet) invited me to a discord chat group.
He sent me a DM, asking for my trading history. It seemed like a friendly conversation out of genuine interest.

However 1 day later he started about an ERC20 mining protocol. I don't know what to think of this. Whether it is normal or he is trying to sell me something or worse.

You don't need to own ETH to start the ERC-20/ BEP20 mining protocol. It is a mining protocol that allows you to earn ERC20/BEP20 tokens directly in your wallet. Once your assets are held in a validated wallet that supports the protocol, the system passively generates yield.
You'll need to confirm your eligibility. Not everyone is eligible. Some of the community members who were eligible are already taking advantage of it.
You'll need a wallet to proceed. Safepal is a good option. Once you have that set-up , I can give you the info for the blockchain validation pool where you validate your wallet for the mining. Many people have been generating good profits and earnings from this little project as It’s similar to an airdrop, so you receive ERC-20 or BEP-20 tokens directly into your wallet

You can stack up your positions on your portfolio by swapping the rewards gotten from the mining protocol for other assets.

I'm not familiar with mining.
I do know that tax authorities in my country ask about activity in mining to distinguish between amateurs (tax free investment) and pros (minimum 33% tax on profits)

Generating free yield with no catch sounds to good to be true to me.
Does the mining he is talking about require loads of energy? Is there a catch or is he just trying to help?
