Newbies, avoid buying your Ledger and Trezor hardware wallet or other types of hardware wallet from online stores, they are not the manufacturers of the hardware wallets and these things are complicated, this are not your normal electronics that you can buy anywhere you can find them.

The rate that people are losing their Bitcoin and other coins via hardware wallets this days is increasing in an alarming rate, some scammers in china are ready to spend thousands of dollars on fake hardware wallet motherboards and package them as new for people like you to buy.

Some hardware wallets especially Trezor have now turned into a console hacking and jailbreaking thing where chips are been modified to run some code and get access to whatever needed just like gaming homebrewing like we've seen on PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.






This last picture on this post is something I've witnessed before in a open market in my country, they are selling Ledger Nano wallets and the packages looked like something they have opened and resealed again, I knew something was wrong with those hardware wallet.





Find the manufacturers of the hardware wallet you choose to buy and order them, they will be shipped to you anywhere you are in the world, don't risk losing everything you've spent your time and money to gather to scammers, be wise.


Original Ledger platform is Ledger.com while Trezor own is Trezor.io always do your own research before taking a crucial step like this own, ask questions before doing anything crypto wallet related if you are a newbie and lack knowledge, this is one of those reasons why the forum exists.
