Staying safe on Mixin
Money in Mixin is real money, so look after it the way you’d look after cash. The good news: three rules will steer you clear of almost every scam.
The three rules
Section titled “The three rules”- Never share anything key-related — credentials files, recovery phrases, private keys, verification codes: anyone who asks for these is a scammer, no exceptions.
- Official support never comes asking — OhMy.xin and Mixin will never message you first to ask for transfers, keys, or personal details. If you get such a message, ignore it and report it.
- Check who you’re paying before you send — payments only happen in flows started from an OhMy.xin payment page; ignore payment requests from strangers.
Watch-outs inside circles
Section titled “Watch-outs inside circles”- Use the official way in — join a circle only through its invite link (shared by the owner or a member), which opens the circle’s own bot, and pay only on the payment page inside the circle’s bot conversation.
- “Insider tips” and “guaranteed returns” are red flags — especially in trading circles, be wary of anything that promises profits.
- Only upgrade from the app store — when a transfer needs a newer Mixin Messenger, update from the official app store; never tap an install package shared in a chat.
Practice: safe or scam?
Section titled “Practice: safe or scam?”Put the rules to work on five messages a circle member might get.
“OhMy.xin Support” (new chat)
Your circle will be suspended today. Send us your bot credentials file so we can verify you.
Official support never messages first, and never asks for a credentials file. Anyone who does is a scammer.
Daily Notes (the circle bot)
You tapped Join. A payment page opens: Monthly plan, 10 USDT, confirm in Mixin.
This payment started from an OhMy.xin payment page inside the circle’s own bot, which is the official way to pay.
A member in the group
Guaranteed 30% a week! Transfer to me and I’ll trade for you. Spots are limited.
“Guaranteed returns” are a red flag, and this is a payment request from a stranger, not a payment page.
Someone in a chat
Your Mixin is out of date. Install this new version: mixin-update.apk
Only update Mixin Messenger from the official app store. Never tap an install file shared in a chat.
Leo (a friend)
Join my circle 👇 (an invite card that opens the Daily Notes bot)
An invite card that opens the circle’s own bot is the official way in. Even so, pay only on the payment page inside that bot.
A special note on credentials files
Section titled “A special note on credentials files”Circle owners who create a bot receive a Bot credentials file (keystore)The credentials file downloaded when creating a bot and uploaded when connecting a circle.Read more →. It holds all of the bot’s powers. Use it only in the upload step of OhMy.xin’s connect wizard, and never send it to anyone — including people who claim to be official.
