[[File:Trezor.jpg|thumb|Trezor]]A Trezor user reports that they were tricked out of their funds through an attempt to upgrade their wallet software. Instead of visiting the Trezor website, they ended up clicking on Google Ads in the search results, which led them to a scam website. This scam website claimed their wallet was losing connection and they needed to enter their seed phrase. When they did, it enabled the attacker to steal all of their funds. There is no indication that any funds have been recovered.

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

== About Trezor ==
"The safe place for your coins." "Store your coins with Trezor." "Hardware wallet is the safest way to manage & trade your cryptocurrencies."

"I was trying to move some of my BTC from Trezor to an exchange and there was a notice saying that my Trezor Bridge is out of date."

"So I just googled Trezor bridge to find the latest update, thats when I clicked into the fake Trezor website. Everything looks the same as the legit Trezor.io website, except the popup saying there is a need to recover the wallet due to a bad connection. I did not pay enough attention as I though the poor connection was caused by the outdated Trezor bridge, plus I was trying to upgrade the firmware too as I have not logged into my Trezor for a while. So I was ready to put in the recovery seed anyway and that costs me everything."

"Strongly recommend prohibiting fake web as promoted Ad on google, and a wallet application like ledger live would be great to avoid similar incident on web browser."

"To be more specific, I lost 0.6126 BTC, 44.8362 LTC and 3.4962 ETH."

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.

The background of the exchange platform, service, or individuals involved, as it would have been seen or understood at the time of the events.

Include:

* Known history of when and how the service was started.
* What problems does the company or service claim to solve?
* What marketing materials were used by the firm or business?
* Audits performed, and excerpts that may have been included.
* Business registration documents shown (fake or legitimate).
* How were people recruited to participate?
* Public warnings and announcements prior to the event.

Don't Include:

* Any wording which directly states or implies that the business is/was illegitimate, or that a vulnerability existed.
* Anything that wasn't reasonably knowable at the time of the event.
There could be more than one section here. If the same platform is involved with multiple incidents, then it can be linked to a main article page.

== The Reality ==
This sections is included if a case involved deception or information that was unknown at the time. Examples include:

* When the service was actually started (if different than the "official story").
* Who actually ran a service and their own personal history.
* How the service was structured behind the scenes. (For example, there was no "trading bot".)
* Details of what audits reported and how vulnerabilities were missed during auditing.

== What Happened ==
The specific events of the loss and how it came about. What actually happened to cause the loss and some of the events leading up to it.

== Total Amount Lost ==
The total amount lost is unknown.

How much was lost and how was it calculated? If there are conflicting reports, which are accurate and where does the discrepancy lie?

== Immediate Reactions ==
How did the various parties involved (firm, platform, management, and/or affected individual(s)) deal with the events? Were services shut down? Were announcements made? Were groups formed?

== Ultimate Outcome ==
What was the end result? Was any investigation done? Were any individuals prosecuted? Was there a lawsuit? Was any tracing done?

== Total Amount Recovered ==
It is unknown how much was recovered.

What funds were recovered? What funds were reimbursed for those affected users?

== Ongoing Developments ==
What parts of this case are still remaining to be concluded?

== Prevention Policies ==
There is no reason to ever enter a seed phrase into an application. All hardware wallets on the market establish that any phrase should be entered into the hardware wallet hardware itself.

Always check and visit the official website of a service. The majority of funds should be stored offline and not on a live wallet application. When setting up a new wallet or upgrading wallet software, never enter your pass phrase or send any funds without first transferring a smaller amount.
