Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
An email claiming to be from MetaMask asking you to verify your wallet, update your account, or perform KYC is a phishing scam. Because MetaMask is a self-custodial wallet that does not collect or store your email address, they will never initiate email correspondence.
Scammers send these emails to redirect you to a fake website that mimics the official MetaMask platform. They will ask you to enter your Secret Recovery Phrase or private keys under the guise of "verification". If you provide this, the scammers will gain full access to your wallet and immediately drain your funds.
If you submitted your Secret Recovery Phrase or password, assume your wallet is compromised.
