If you want to buy hardware wallet it is better to buy a new one, do not buy it from anyone who isn’t verified and don’t buy from a place that is not official because they are selling it cheaper. If your device gets broken, buy a new one and use your seed phrase to recover your money into the new device.

Thanks mate, the hardware wallet should be considered by any investor that is conscious of the security of their crypto assets. But are there chances of forgetting the hardware wallet password, I mean can it be recovered if forgotten

That's very true, some people are ignorant of some things and that is what scammers feed on. They forget to research and actually find out if the supposed help is legit and real.

How did scammers get so much in cryptocurrency that they try to always get new methods of stealing from people. They might be people who has been on a forum before that probably didn’t work and had to settle to stealing the help of their previous knowledge of cryptocurrency

Scammers are everywhere and always looking for new methods to steal from people. It is not peculiar to cryptocurrency in any way.

We just happen to be involved in crypto and see first hand how many scammers there are in the space.
