# What kind of Web3 scams exist, and which ones does Sentinel3 protect me from?

1. **Wallet Transactions and Signatures**\
   \
   These scams happen when you interact with your wallet on a malicious site and execute transactions that can send, grant permission to transfer, or list your NFTs or crypto.<br>

   Sentinel3 protects you with a 99.9% detection rate for these scams.<br>
2. **Seed Phrase and Private Keys Sharing**\
   \
   These scams can happen through websites but also through social engineering.\
   \
   If you enter a website that asks for your seed phrase, Sentinel3 will warn you, stopping you from doing it. Sentinel3 will not protect you from sharing your private key on websites.\
   \
   If you give someone else your seed phrase or private key, Sentinel3 can't protect you.<br>
3. **Unauthorized access to your device**\
   \
   When someone gets access to the device (PC/Mobile/Tablet) that has your wallet, odds are they can transfer your crypto or NFTs, and there is nothing MintDefense can do to protect you.<br>
4. **Malicious files**\
   \
   [**Sentinel3 is not an antivirus**](https://docs.kerberus.com/kerberus/frequently-asked-questions/software-faq/is-sentinel3-an-antivirus) and doesn't protect you from malicious files on your computer.<br>
5. **Rug pulls / poor project management**\
   \
   Sentinel3 can't protect you from project founders stopping work or their poor management. Interactions on their websites will be allowed if Sentinel3 deems them legitimate.
