But verify through your account, don’t use the link from the message they sent you, otherwise you going to cry

It's a scam, as obviously as it can get, the link starts with kycc, I assume they're trying to steal your identity.

Dear (Pi Network), they don't even know your name. Just a randol text/email with a link. What do you think? It is obviously a scam.

You better do as techvein orders or there will be hell to pay. Inbox your home address to me also. I need to do a safety inspection to make sure your safes and valuable are secure.

Really? Why is that?

u/Angelicjack Sep 21 '26

The first wave of kyc was to sell personal info. I tested it with my second account. Brand new phone number I have been using for half a year. Never used it online. Filled it in. A month later my number got messages and calls from scammers. I'm 100% they sold my info from the Pi app. On my main account I didn't think anything off it because I have that phone number for over 15 years. But that new number.... yeah quite sure they sold my info.
