Warning: Scammers stealing crypto wallet seed phrases in Vietnam
I've been warning about this since 11/2025, it's fellow Vietnamese scamming fellow Vietnamese.
How they do it: When you jump on Discord/Telegram asking about wallet issues, the scammer poses as an "admin" and tells you to hit F12, copy the KeyringController data, and send it to them, then "sign the command to fix".
The truth: KeyringController is literally your seed phrase in encrypted form. This is the mechanism used by MetaMask, Phantom, TrustWallet... to store seed phrases on drive C. Revealing it = losing your entire wallet.
For newcomers to the market, stay vigilant: no one fixes wallet issues using F12.
