# User Safety Guide: Staying Safe on Mintable and in the Metaverse

### 🛑 General Safety Rules

* **Mintable staff will NEVER:**
  * Send you private messages (DMs) on Discord, Telegram, or social media
  * Ask for your **wallet seed phrase**, QR code, or private keys
  * Ask you to send **cryptocurrency or NFTs** for “verification” or “processing”
  * Share suspicious links or request that you click or scan anything
  * Contact you privately for “Giveaways,” “Private Auctions,” or “Tech Support”

> 🚨 **Never share your seed phrase or sign suspicious transactions.** This is the #1 cause of wallet compromise.

### ⚠️ How Mintable Communicates

All official events, updates, and collaborations will be announced ONLY via:

* 🐦 [**@mintable\_app on Twitter**](https://twitter.com/mintable_app)
* 💬 [**Official Mintable Discord**](https://discord.gg/9nB9PTGxWy)

If you're unsure about a message or link, reach out to:\
📧 **<support@mintable.app>**

### 📬 Discord Safety Tips

To stay safe on Discord:

* ✅ **Disable DMs** from server members\
  → Go to Server Settings → Privacy Settings → Toggle off "Allow direct messages"

* ✅ Watch out for **phishing messages** pretending to be:
  * "Mintable Staff"
  * Support agents
  * Giveaway hosts
* ❌ **Ignore messages** asking you to:
  * Verify your wallet
  * Join secret giveaways
  * Scan QR codes for “support”

### 🎣 Examples of Common Discord Scams

> "Hi, I'm from Mintable support. We noticed a problem with your NFT. Please verify your wallet here: \[scam-link]."

> "You've been selected for a private Mintable auction! Click this link to claim: \[phishing-site]."

> "You won a whitelist spot! Just scan this QR code to secure your mint."

🛑 These are **phishing attacks**. Do not engage.
