I would just like to explain why this is a scam for anyone who might not understand what the problem here is.
A trezor device is completely offline and is completely unnaffected by things that happen on your trezor website account whether its breached or not, the only issue would be if your seed phrase gets highjacked which shouldn’t happen unless you enter it into a website or hand it over to someone or give it up in some other fashion. In this case, not a single soul on earth will be aware of this event happening except the person who highjacks the wallet and the victim and whoever else this information is shared with, trezor support will have no idea whatsoever and there’s nothing they can do about it even if they do know. That’s just how to blockchain works. So it makes no sense to send a new device or seed phrase when the *only* logical solution is to simply just generate a new wallet and send all your funds there immediately.
As for sending you a new trezor and seed phrase, the seed phrase is supposed to be generated by the onboard trng(true random number generator) when you generate your own wallet. If someone sends you a seed phrase with the understanding that you will use that generated wallet to receive and send crypto, then they’re probably handing over the phrase with the intention of keeping an eye on the balance and sending any significant amount of funds over to a wallet that they control. If they’re sending you a new trezor, then the hardware or firmware is probably highjacked, or they just plan to steal the funds on the highjacked wallet hoping to cover the expense incurred by the device. Or maybe they just would’ve never sent the device. In which case idk why they’d offer when offering a new seed phrase would’ve probably been sufficient for their little scam operation.
