A Fake Ledger Letter Cost Her Everything | Karen Faye's Bitcoin Story

Dela

After 49 years as a nurse, three children raised alone, and a husband

lost to Agent Orange, Karen Faye saved every dollar she could into 1.67

Bitcoin. In April 2026, a phishing letter β€” sent to her real address with

her real name, using data leaked in @Ledger's 2020 CRM breach β€” took it all.

In her honor, we built Faye: a free scam-check tool. Point your phone at

any letter, email, or message. Get an instant verdict.

πŸ›‘ When in doubt β€” Faye it out.

πŸ›‘ THE THREE RULES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  1. Anyone asking for your seed phrase, PIN, or wallet access is a scammer.
  2. Do not trust messages that come to you. Not email, calls, texts, DMs.
  3. "Urgent security problem" is always a red flag.
