One of my friends recently received a letter in the mail that looked exactly like it came from Ledger. It had their logo, official address, even a proper reference number printed on it. Everything about it looked legit until you notice one small detail: a QR code.
Now here’s where the trick starts. The letter tells you to scan that QR code to “activate” a new feature called Transaction Check. It sounds harmless right, even helpful. But the moment you scan it, you’re not going to some Ledger setup page. You’re actually opening a fake site made by hackers. And once you interact with that site, they can quietly take control of your wallet access.
So basically, what feels like a simple verification step is actually a full trap. And by the time you realize it, your assets will already be stolen and your wallet shall be drained,not because Ledger was hacked, but because you unknowingly gave them permission.
Now let me tell you what to do if you ever get something like this in your mailbox. First, don’t panic. Just don’t scan anything. Then follow my “Airplane method”:
1. Fold the letter from the right side.
2. Then fold the left.
3. Fold the top over.
4. Fold it twice more from the sides.
5. And congratulations .. you just made the safest paper airplane in the crypto world. Now launch it straight into the trash can 🛩️
Remember Ledger never sends physical letters asking you to scan a QR code or activate features. All real updates happen inside the Ledger Live app.
So stay alert, educate your friends, and never scan anything you didn’t expect.
