This email has very strong scam/phishing indicators. It is not a legitimate MetaMask/ConsenSys communication.
Key red flags:
The message uses classic crypto-scam wording:
- “Ethereum Legacy RPC Support will be removed” - vague and fabricated technical threat
- “MUST synchronize your Wallet Signature” - this is not a real MetaMask process
- “to prevent irreversible loss of access” - emotional pressure tactic (fear-based urgency)
The “Synchronize Now” call-to-action is a major phishing trigger:
Likely leads to a fake site designed to steal your wallet seed phrase or signature approvals
MetaMask/Consensys would never:
- Ask you to “sync wallet signature” via email
- Warn of wallet access loss through email links
- Send security actions requiring immediate clicking outside the app/browser extension
Also:
“Ethereum Legacy RPC” wording is not a standard MetaMask user-facing concept
The footer “Security & Compliance Division” is commonly used in fake professional-looking scams
What you should do
a) Do NOT click “Synchronize Now” (it will lead to shortcut https.... // t [dot] co/(some weird codes) - a link shortener (X) to hide the real destination
Scammers commonly use t[dot]co links to:
- bypass spam filters
- hide fake MetaMask login pages
- redirect multiple times before landing on phishing sites
b) Do not reply
c) Delete or mark as phishing
Your crypto e-wallet (e.g., MetaMask) may be compromised if you click on the link and follow the instructions
Verdict :
This is almost certainly a phishing attempt designed to steal wallet access or signatures.
