How to spot this (Hardware wallet at 45% off)
- A deep discount from an unknown seller on a security device is the bait. Tampered units are resold this way.
- "Pre-initialised" means someone set it up before you — they may hold the keys.
- A brand-new seller with almost no history.
Remember: Buy hardware wallets only from the manufacturer or the authorised resellers listed on its official site. A bargain on a security device is the scam.
