This guide is educational, not personalized financial, legal or security advice. A checklist reduces avoidable mistakes; it cannot make a transaction risk-free.
Share the minimum context needed to describe the issue. Public transaction details can reveal activity; use an independently verified support route for account-specific help.
- Describe the task, expected result, actual result, and what you already tried.
- Share only general device or network context and a non-secret error message.
- Keep recovery phrases, private keys, passwords, one-time codes, and sensitive screenshots out of public posts.
- Find account-specific support through the provider's independently verified route; never grant remote access or sign a request you cannot explain.
A transfer is not visible. What two non-secret details could help explain the problem, and which three kinds of information must stay private?
Start with the facts you can share
A useful support question describes the task, expected result, actual result, device or browser and a non-secret error message. For a transaction issue, a public reference may help, but sharing it can reveal financial activity. Consider that privacy cost and use official support when personal details are involved.
Keep secrets out of the question
Never include a recovery phrase, private key, password or one-time code. Redact screenshots carefully, including account identifiers and browser tabs where appropriate. Scammers may search public help requests and send a private message offering support, so do not assume the first direct message is official.
A support post that helps
A learner posts “My transfer has not appeared” with the network, approximate time and the provider’s public status wording. They keep credentials private and use the provider’s independently verified support route for account-specific details. That is more useful and safer than publishing an entire wallet screenshot.
A safer escalation path
- Write the task, expected result, actual result and what you have tried in plain language.
- Remove secrets and unnecessary personal information from screenshots.
- Find support through a route you verify independently; do not follow an unsolicited link or number.
The red flag that ends the conversation
Do not screen-share a recovery process or allow a stranger remote control of a device containing financial accounts. Never sign a wallet request you cannot explain.
Keep the public question narrow
Share only enough context to describe the problem. A public transaction reference can help someone inspect a transaction, but it may also expose financial activity; include one only when needed and after considering that privacy trade-off. Keep account-specific details for the provider’s independently verified support channel.
For suspicious messages, see how to spot phishing links and fake support. If you already shared a secret or approved a suspicious action, read what to do if you think your wallet was compromised.
Check your understanding.
What should never be included in a support post?
A correct answer records local learning progress, not a qualification or proof of financial readiness.
