BEWARE: Coinbase Fake Email Scam
Posting this for awareness. First post was removed due to the auto-bot assuming the images I shared were a meme! Anyway luckily I spotted within a second of opening this email (linked to screenshots of the email via the imugr link above!) that it was a scam, before clicking any links. Now you will know it’s fake too.
There’s been a huge number of new crypto investors the last 6 months, and so scammers will try and use this lack of experience to their advantage and try and steal your coins. Without testing the email links for obvious reasons, I’d imagine they have “spoofed” the Coinbase login page. So that when you enter your details, they will take copies of them for the criminals to try and break into your account and steal your money.
Other ways to protect against this will be to where possible have 2-factor security on any exchanges you use.
Let’s help all of us wherever we can and call out these scams so none of us fall for them!
