Hi, I imported some ETH to my Trustwallet yesterday and it says it is a Watch-only wallet. I have been emailing Support, who says I need to deposit a fee to verify the wallet.
Can you tell me if this email is the real Trustwallet Support address?: [email protected]
Thank you
Hello @HubbC
A watch only wallet means you imported wallet address instead of wallet recovery phrase.
You need to import your recovery phrase to have full access of your wallet.

If you do not own that wallet and you were given the wallet, then it is a scam.
Take note also that you do not need to pay any fee to verify or upgrade your wallet.
You stated that if I don’t own the wallet and it was passed to me by my investment company that it is a scam? Is this an absolute statement? Are there no scenarios where this could be legitimate? He is asking for a fee to be paid to get the public key
Maybe I misstated.
I invested on this platform. Made a profit. He sent me a link to this wallet that is showing as a watch-only wallet. He’s asking for fee to pay for the public key so I can transfer the funds into my BTC wallet.
I don’t see it as free money. Because I invested capital.
Does 5his change anything?
