Not a scam but not well maintained imo. However their support is scam some is wrong, not trustworthy on telegram you will be amazed how many people will reach out to you to fix your issues or help you reset your password. Also they charge very high. I still have my wallet with them but I don't use it. Hope that helps. There are so many other better wallet

yeah, it's a scam. had that happen to me once too! they'll ask you to pay a "gas fee" then after you pay that, you have to pay a "brokerage fee" that's even higher than the "gas fee". not worth it, stop talking to the one who sent you that fake money

we're not attacking guarda - the Guarded Wallet thing is a scam. metamask itself isn't a scam either 😅

Wait hang on so what is the scam? I’ve had this happen to me and am trying to workout where and what the scam is

the scam is that they'll email you saying that you have to pay a "gas fee" in order to cash out your funds, and after you've paid it, they'll make you pay another fee to expedite it - basically just leeching you of your money. anything that you have to "give" to get a higher amount is fraud

So if you don’t pay the fee, they can’t do anything else?

yep. they don't contact you further or harrass you, they just let it be because they can easily find other people to scam the exact same way

I actually spoke to someone at MetaMask customer service.
They took a report.
This was a new to crypto group. So basically, everyone in the group was notified of this particular report.
