Exchange safety

How to spot fake Gate emails

An email lands: “Your Gate account is at risk — verify now.” It looks perfect: right logo, right tone, a login button. The button doesn't go to gate.com — it goes to a copy built to capture your password and 2FA. This is the most common way Gate users lose funds.

How fake Gate emails work

Phishing emails create urgency (“account locked”, “suspicious login”, “withdrawal request”) and push you to a fake login page. The page forwards whatever you type — including your 2FA code — to the attacker in real time.

Signs an email is not really from Gate

A link that doesn't point exactly to gate.com; urgency and threats; requests for your password, seed phrase or 2FA; small misspellings in the sender domain.

What to do instead

  • Never click login links in emails. Open Gate from your own bookmark of gate.com.
  • Gate will never ask for your seed phrase — no real exchange ever does.
  • Enable an authenticator app or hardware key, not SMS, for 2FA.
  • Use a browser extension that blocks fake Gate login pages before they load.

Trust Line blocks fake Gate pages

Even if you click a link, Trust Line recognises look-alike Gate domains and stops the page loading — so a stolen click doesn't become a stolen account.

FAQ

Does Gate send emails asking me to log in?

Gate may send notifications, but you should never log in via an email link. Always open gate.com from a bookmark instead.

Will Gate ever ask for my seed phrase?

No. No legitimate exchange asks for your seed phrase. Any message that does is a scam.
