# Scams

## Avoiding Crypto Scams

Messina.one's staff and team members will NEVER ask for your seed phrase, nor host a website that provides you with a seed phrase. Never share the seed phrase of your wallet with anyone. If you are ever unsure about the authenticity of staff accounts, please email us at [hello@messina.one](mailto:undefined), or reach out to our Community Managers or admins on [Discord](https://discord.gg/ADnytXep7B), [Telegram](https://t.me/messinaone), or [Twitter](https://twitter.com/messinaone).

### When in doubt, talk to us

If you suspect that someone is impersonating Messina.one to steal your funds, do not click on any links, respond to their requests, or provide any personal information to them. Instead, confirm the sender’s identity by contacting us through the following official channels:

1. Send an email to <hello@messina.one>
2. Contact our Community Manager or one of our admins in our official [Discord](https://discord.gg/ADnytXep7B), [Telegram](https://t.me/messinaone), or [Twitter](https://twitter.com/messinaone).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://messinaone.gitbook.io/messina/bridge/security/scams.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
