Why? When this type of scam happens they are going to get you to expose your secret phrase (you know the 12 words you have to remember so you can gain access to your wallet) and they’ll only need a millisecond to do this and your wallet will be empty in seconds.
How do you limit this happening. Firstly, never, ever share your seed/secret phrase. Secondly, use a wallet type that allows for multi-signature, similar to the concept of two company directors having to sign cheques for a bank transaction; Safe (formarly gnosis) have these types of wallets.
