Over the past few days, I have conducted extensive research after receiving multiple reports from the Pi community about individuals offering to buy Pi Coins at $15, $30, or even $50 per coin. After investigating, Iāve uncovered a fraudulent scheme designed to steal your Pi Coins. Itās crucial to share this information to protect our community.
š“ How This Scam Works:
1ļøā£ Scammers target Pi users by monitoring social media posts related to Pi.
2ļøā£ They message you with an offer like:
ā We want to buy your Pi Coins directly from your wallet, not from an exchange, and weāll pay $20 per coin. ā
3ļøā£ They ask for a screenshot of your Pi wallet balance for "verification."
4ļøā£ They send you a fake Pi Network wallet portal link that looks real but contains keyloggers and malware.
5ļøā£ When you enter your wallet recovery phrase, they steal your private keys and all your Pi Coins.
š« How to Stay Safe:
ā NEVER share your wallet recovery phrase with anyone.
ā IGNORE offers that sound too good to be true.
ā ONLY use official Pi Network links (minepi.com & app links).
ā ENABLE all security measures (2FA, strong passwords, etc.).
ā REPORT suspicious accounts & spread awareness!
ā ļø If you see someone offering to buy Pi at high prices via private transactions, itās a red flag! ā ļø
