How to Protect Yourself From Crypto Scams

The best way to avoid scams is to learn how to identify them. Most scams can be easily identified by simply remembering the following three statements:

  • Gemini will NEVER ask you for your password or 2FA code.
  • Our support team will NEVER ask for remote access to your computer or phone.
  • We will NEVER ask you to transfer funds to another account—that includes different wallet addresses, bank accounts, or third party apps.

Valid Gemini Communications

Gemini does not offer phone support. All support is provided via a valid Gemini email. Emails from Gemini will always end with the .gemini.com domain name. For example, emails from support@gemini.com or from the sub-domain hello@news.gemini.com are valid Gemini email addresses, because they end with .gemini.com.
