In simple words, if you lose access to your wallet, your Pi is gone. Pi Network explained that many fake websites, apps and social media accounts are trying to trick users into giving away their wallet details. These scammers often pretend to be Pi staff, Pi Care Team or official support. Once they get your passphrase they can empty your wallet in seconds. The team said, Pi Network will never ask for your password or wallet passphrase.

Common Scams Pi Users Should Avoid

Pi Network shared a list of common tricks used by scammers. These include fake websites that look like Pi pages, fake ads on social media and messages that claim you won free Pi or need to verify your wallet. Some scammers even create fake Pi apps or browser extensions. Others send links that look official but lead to phishing pages. The team warned users not to trust random messages. Even if they look professional. If someone claims they can help you unlock Pi faster or double your coins, it is a scam. There is no shortcut in Pi Network.

Only Use the Official Pi Wallet

Pi Network reminded users that the only safe place to access their wallet is through the official Pi Browser. The correct link is: “http://wallet.PiNet.com“. Users should never enter their passphrase on any other website or app. If a page looks suspicious, close it immediately. The team also advised users to bookmark the official wallet page. Also, avoid clicking random links from social media or Telegram groups.

Pi Network Is Still in a Testing Phase

Pi Network also clarified that the project is still in a gradual decentralization phase. It is not yet fully open-source. Full decentralization will only happen after all testing is complete. This means users should be extra careful during this stage. Scammers often target projects during big upgrades and transitions. Pi Network stated that it will fully open-source the network once testing concludes. It will be a major milestone for the ecosystem.
