Scams, phishing attempts, and fraudulent schemes are common online threats. Vesseo emphasizes the importance of vigilance to protect your funds and personal information. This guide explains how to identify scams, avoid fraud, and report suspicious activity.

General Scam Awareness

  • Be cautious of unsolicited messages from anyone claiming to be Vesseo.

  • Always verify the sender’s identity and confirm communications through official Vesseo channels.

  • Never share your PIN, backup phrase, passwords, or financial information.

  • Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unverified apps.

Reminder: Vesseo will never request sensitive information via social media, phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, or unofficial apps.

Social Media & Messaging Scams

  • Be wary of unexpected messages asking for personal or financial information.
  • Telegram users: The only official Vesseo community is https://t.me/vesseoapp. Any other Telegram community claiming to be Official from Vesseo is fraudulent.
  • Confirm the authenticity of any communication through official Vesseo channels.
  • Report suspicious messages or accounts immediately to our support team.
  • Never share confidential information on these platforms.
Tip: Scammers often impersonate official accounts. Double-check profiles, usernames, and URLs before interacting.

Phishing Emails

  • Phishing emails try to trick you into giving away sensitive information.
  • Check sender addresses carefully and look for unusual or urgent requests.
  • Do not click on suspicious links.
  • If you’re unsure whether an email is genuinely from Vesseo, contact our Official Support Team directly: Submit a support request.

Financial Scams (Ponzi / Pyramid Schemes)

  • Ponzi or Pyramid schemes promise high returns with little to no risk, paying early investors from funds contributed by new participants.
  • They often rely on recruitment and complex promises of exponential growth.
  • Red flags: unusually high profits, pressure to recruit others, and lack of verifiable financial information.

If you suspect a Ponzi or Pyramid scheme:

  1. Stop investing immediately.
  2. Report the scheme to financial regulators or law enforcement.
  3. Warn others who may be at risk.
  4. Consider seeking legal or financial advice.
Disclaimer: These schemes carry significant financial risk. Always research investment opportunities thoroughly and consult professionals before committing funds.

Reporting Suspicious Activity

  • Use official Vesseo channels to report scams, phishing, or suspicious transactions: Submit a support request.

  • Acting quickly can help protect your account and prevent further loss.
