How to Identify a Fake Ledger Site — Site Signals and the Recovery-Phrase Trap

Views0

Fake Ledger sites are a common scam. This guide lists the recognisable signals.

Domain and URL

Common patterns: misspelt ledger.com variants, strange TLDs, and homograph attacks with Cyrillic characters that look like Latin ones.

The recovery-phrase trap

The single clearest fake-site signal: any page asking you to type in the recovery phrase. Ledger will never request it online.

Protective steps

Type the address manually. Use a bookmark. Never enter the phrase anywhere online.

Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
