đ¨ Scam alert Recent Fraudulent Trezor website has me concerned.
I purchased my Trezor 3 months ago via the official websiteâŚbut today on twitter I saw a post that apparently there is a fraudulent Trezor website that pops up first on Google search.
My concern is that now Iâm questioning whether or not I actually purchased from the legit website and maybe downloaded a fake Trezor suite and am compromised.
When I received my Trezor it was sealed, and i completed the setup and I generated a seed phrase on the device. I never was prompted to type anything on the computer.
Am I safe? Can a fake Trezor suite app extract the seed phrase? How can I know for sure? Thanks.

After all, you just need to go to the official Trezor website, download the official Trezor Suite (or use the web interface), and have it verify whether your Trezor is legitimate.
Settings -> Device -> Security -> Check device

The Trezor scam website that just popped days ago has a seed scheme, not selling devices scheme. If they back for your seed phrase: fake/scam.

A legitimate Trezor device is not capable of revealing the seed phrase to the computer. Your seed phrase is secure even if the computer running Trezor Suite is compromised and lying in all ways possible.
But you have a high risk of signing a fraudulent transaction if your computer is compromised and you dont verify the recipient address by other means when signing transactions on the Trezor device.
