[Paha87]

Trezor cryptocurrency wallet provider has warned customers about a new method used by thieves to steal cryptocurrency from hardware wallets.

Trezor, known for its hardware wallets Trezor One and Trezor Model T, reports that unscrupulous people are spreading a "one-in-one fake on Trezor One," using it as a means to steal someone else's money and tarnish the company's brand. The company said that they used to fight with clones of best wallet you created and sold under a separate brand, but "the emergence of fake best wallet amazing".

According to Trezor, a fake hardware wallet replicates a real wallet at the core level, making it difficult to distinguish a fake. At the same time, "counterfeits pose a security threat to customer funds and other digital assets of users," Trezor said in his message, adding:

You do not trust your money to someone who has already deceived you by selling you another product than you expected. Therefore, we recommend that you do not use this device and report such instances, which will help us fight fraud and provide you with the original device.

One way to distinguish a fake Trezor One device from the original is the price. Like most clones, the final product is often offered at a very steep discount to encourage sales. - it's a red flag that Trezor is paying attention to and hoping users will pay attention to.

Another way to distinguish a real wallet from fakes is a hologram that is put on the seal of the box. Trezor has uploaded a video to the activation page for the new hardware wallets so that users can view and compare the hologram in the video with the one being applied on their devices.

The hardware wallet provider also warns customers to avoid online markets when buying their wallets and only make purchases from authorized Resellers, the official Amazon store, and the Trezor website:

If you are not sure of the authenticity of the seller or resource, always contact the official channels.

The final step comes on the heels of recent bitcoin scams on Twitter, where hackers have taken control of verified accounts to offer free tokens to unsuspecting members of the public in exchange for coins.
