Step by step
How to check a message that claims to be from Kraken
- 1
Look at the actual sender address, not just the name. Tap or hover over the name to reveal it. It must end in @kraken.com, or a subdomain of one.
- 2
Do not use links or phone numbers from the message. Type kraken.com into your browser or open the official Kraken app, and check your account there.
- 3
Slow down when you see urgency, small fees, gift cards, crypto, or requests for codes and passwords. Those are the levers every scam pulls.
- 4
Still unsure? Paste the sender address or link into the checker above.
Questions
Kraken scam FAQ
What email address does Kraken use?
Genuine Kraken email comes from addresses ending in @kraken.com, or a subdomain of those (for example something@mail.kraken.com). An address on any other domain, even one containing "kraken", is not Kraken.
Can scammers fake an @kraken.com email address?
We are running the first check on kraken.com. Until then, assume a sender address alone proves nothing and verify by visiting kraken.com yourself.
