HyperPay’s users are growing day by day, and community member base are also expanding. However, some malicious attacks begin to aim at newcomers. Many new users get contacted privately by accounts named “Maya”, “HyperPay Customer Service” or others to give a hand when they first enter the group to ask for help. These account may send a fake wallet download link, fake QR code (please make sure it is a correct official domain name! HyperPay download link is: https://www.hyperpay.tech/app_down), or guide you to create an on-chain wallet and ask you to provide mnemonic words, and when he gets the mnemonic words, asking you to deposit to keep the “wallet active” and help you solve problems, or let you fill in a feedback in an attempt to steal the private key or mnemonic phrase. In order to prevent your assets from being stolen, HyperPay will provide you with: How to distinguish between true and fake group administrators? And why are mnemonics and private key so important? To avoid being deceived.

1. How to distinguish between true and fake administrators?

① Check the administrator’s card
At present, our official administrator accounts are @hyperpay_official, @hyperpay_maya, and there are also some official volunteers. Each of our workers provide their own username, and fake administrators often do not have a username, or use “hyperpay_Maya”. Sometimes the difference is too tiny to notice, please check carefully!

② View Groups in common
Fake administrators often are team members, one pretending to be a user lurking in the community, and one using a fake “customer service” account to contact you privately. Please check the common group between you and the “administrator”, if there is not even a HyperPay group in common, it must be a fake one.

③The administrator will never contact you on his own initiative
The administrator will never take the initiative to contact you privately, nor send you the voice call on TG, nor invite you to some “HyperPay area group”, and all help is free!
The real administrator has a little star on the right of its account name in the member list popped up if clicking on the group name, and a “admin” mark on the upper right corner of the dialog box, so it is clear to distinguish between the real and fake administrators. Thus, when you ask questions in the group and seek the help from administrators, beware to identity these marks and don’t believe in private messages!
